It Might Get Loud on DVD

If you’ve been following this site early on, you know how much I loved the movie “It Might Get Loud“. I was fortunate enough to see it in a theatre (granted it was sort of a crappy theatre). I went to the movie by myself, and I was completely blown away by what I saw, heard and felt. I remember it stayed with me for a long time. This movie is suppose to be a “documentary about the electric guitar from the point of three significant rock musicians”. I would definitely disagree. Sure it was about guitars, but to me, it was really about showing passion. Passion to ‘create’, and the tool just happened to be a electric guitar. I thought it was interesting how they related to each other, I thought it was interesting how I related to them. Great movie.

Well, I wanted my wife to see the film so we rented the DVD the other night, and she was absolutely blown away as well. I also thought I enjoyed it even more the second time around. I think every guitarist on the planet should watch this movie.. it is quite inspirational. But if you’re a fan of documentaries this is great regardless of playing a instrument or not. Passion is infectious and inspirational.

The DVD also has some bonus features, and we watched a few of the deleted scenes,etc. But there is a great press conference where the producers, directors and the three musician’s get to answer some interesting questions and provide further insight to the film.

You can pick up the DVD at Amazon.com

    I loved the movie as well (I’ve seen it now about 10 times) agree with your thoughts about what the movie is about at its core. As a gear head I would love to have seen each guitarist delve into the details of their sound, but it probably would have made for a much less entertaining movie.

    The movie is definitely about the passion for creativity through music.

    Here is my favorite scene from the movie:

    The bonus features and director’s commentary on the DVD make it well worth owning.

    Yeah I watched this beauty 3 times in 24 hours. Once with me rhythm guitarist @AustinRemington, once with my father, and then once with a few friends. I could watch this movie a thousand times and it would never get old. Classic. Timeless. Inspiring.

    I rented this after hearing you talk about it, and I love it. You are right it is more about passion and creativity, I am a huge Page fan and i was surprised how much Page and Black were on the same level, quite inspiring!!

    I totally agree that this movie was inpirational and very telling. I loved the interaction of the 3 different styles and eras of guitar players and their takes on creating.
    I won’t give away my favorite parts if you haven’t seen it, but if you watched it in the theater and liked it you HAVE to watch DVD for the Special Features – some which are amazing and I’m not sure why they were left out except for timing, pace, etc. Check it out!!
    Now I have to get it again…
