My daily commute to and from work takes me past the Hammersmith Apollo and it's become a bit of a habit now to try and see what act will be on stage that night. So as usual, one evening in December, I was trying to make out the name on the billboard through the fogged up bus windows when I noticed that the Apollo was playing host to a movie premiere that night. While we were stuck in traffic I decided to Google the title 'It Might Get Loud'. When the names Jimmy Page, The Edge and Jack White came up I immediately knew that this was a movie I HAD to see!
The movie was introduced by Jimmy Page and director Davis Guggenheim to a full house of avid music fans. In the opening sequence we see Jack White creating an electric guitar out of nothing more than a block of wood, an empty cola bottle and some wire nailed in place... genius!
The documentary takes three of the worlds most respected guitarists from three generations of rock and puts them into one room to see them share their stories and playing techniques. It also follows the back story of each artist to reveal how they came up with their distinct sound.
This movie is definitely a must see for any music fan and if you didn't get around to seeing it at the cinema I highly recommend buying a copy of it when it comes out on the 18th of January!
