FIlm as living breathing entity. If you like the participants this is glorious exploration of what is music

Rephrase the title-It WILL get loud.

Jimmy Page, The Edge and Jack White sit down and talk about music guitars and guitar playing. Inter-cut with this are talks with the three away from the summit.

The easiest way to say this is :GO SEE THIS AT THE THEATER WITH THE LOUDEST SOUND SYSTEM.

It may not be one of the best films ever made (it is one of the best of the year) but it is one of the most alive ones I've ever seen. Songs you know spring to life in ways you never expected. The talk of what music is and how to make it and how it doesn't matter if you get it right today because you might tomorrow is magical. I felt alive an energized after the screening because these three creative forces made it look so easy and so vital that we get music out...

Forgive me I'm beyond words but if you give me a guitar I might play you how I feel.

There are all these magical moments best summed up when the noodling Edge and Jack White stop what they are doing and turn smiling like idiots as Jimmy Page starts playing Whole Lotta Love. No one is beyond being a wide eyed fan boy. Its sums up why we love music because it makes us go gaga.

Just see this movie. If you like any of the men its about you'll love the film.

I can't wait to see it in a theater again- and I can't wait to see the extras on the DVD.
