Effects Bay

Back in the day I was a U2 fan, not so much lately, but still really like and most importantly respect what they do. I remember when “Achtung Baby” came out I was blown away by the sounds the Edge was pulling out of his hat. I always liked what he did with delay, even though that’s coming from a different direction from where I’m going, but I love watching anybody take ownership of their particular style and dominating it.

Recently, and if you’ve been following me for a bit you already know this, I saw “It Might Get Loud” and that documentary really got me to look at the Edge again. I found this great little interview from September 2008 talking about his guitar rig and sounds. The videos are broken down into two separate parts.

Wow, this blog is suddenly turning into the “It Might Get Loud” blog of sorts. But damn it, I’m excited. Just found another sneak peak video, but this time it’s featuring the Edge from U2. I’m really curious about his set up. I know it’s insane. It seems insane. So I’m really looking forward to how he manages it all.

Enjoy the clip:

I was reading the blog at Never Too Late Guitars, and I saw he posted a update about release dates, and I had to blog about this as well.

First of all, if you’re not familiar with this movie, it’s a documenary project where they interview three great guitarists (The Edge, Jimmy Page and Jack White).  To me, they couldn’t find three more different musicians to interview. They vary on how they influence other musicians, their philosophies about guitar and sound in general and their general styles of contemporary ‘rock’ music. I think it’s a great blend, and I’m very interested to see what they have to say.

Beyond just interviewing the three guitarists, they’ll be joining each other face to face to “talk shop” and maybe make some music. When you hear the phrase “Wouldn’t it be cool to be a fly on the wall in that room”.. well with this movie you can. Every musician I know that knows about this movie is super excited

Here is a link to their official site with trailer, press kit, and release dates.

Below are the release dates and locations for the movie:

I’m a big fan of documentaries, specifically music related documentaries. Many times I’ve gotten sucked in to Ovation or the Doc Channel watching the history of music or musicians. I often think it’s inspiring as a musician to see other musicians work their magic almost effortlessly.  I also think it’s inspiring to see them as human as well, with their own problems and troubles.

A friend of mine sent me this YouTube clip thinking I would like it. And this is a understatement. I cannot wait for this movie to come out. It is called “It Might Get Loud” and it features three musicians (The Edge, Jimmy Page and Jack White). I thought it was great to take three totally different guitarists and get them into a room together.

I’m especially curious to hear what the Edge has to say about things, since he is the effects master!

Below is the trailer for the movie. Let me know what you think!
