I was disappointed by the Edge. All that stuff about tree's aligning was just painful, and he was the least musically interesting of the three, IMO. |

Imagine going out onto a stage with just a drummer, a very very average drummer, and doing what this guy does to create a great show? Unique interesting weird crazy guitar tones, amazing voice, IMO....this guy is something special... |

Hey hey hey, I'm not going to do anything illeagal. I'm totally about morals and being good and everything However that also does sound like a good idea. But only for storage purposes and personal use. |

i'm so glad theres so many jack white fans ... he really impressed me and i don't really know his stuff.... other than his hits.......
so for a young guitarist to be thrown into a room /docci with 2 legends from the decades of 70's and 80's and to still come out looking fabulous and not being intimidated or swamped by the legends...shows great presense.....
and tho i know the die hard rock fans won't agree but he seems to come off as the one of the three i would be more intruiged with and wat to hear more from ..........
so yeah like i said jack white rules
Check out The Dead Weather, Jack's the guy behind the music but the drummer in the band! IMHO the best release of 2009. Dean Fertita plays guitar and does a bang up job... |

I finally got a look at this documentary. The thing that kept on coming to me was that Page has laid down some great guitar parts. He was a little sloppy, I think he often has been that way. Or perhaps it's fairer to say that he prefers a first take with a good attitude to multiple retakes in the search for zero defects.
I was quite impressed by Jack White's music. I found him simultaneously the most contrived and the most candid of the interviewees.
I need a 2nd look to firm up some other opinions. I was more impressed by Edge's playing than I'd thought I would be.
I enjoyed the comments from the three of them about the creative process. It's comforting to know that it's perspiration as well as inspiration.

Hi, I called Ster Kinekor to ascertain the date of theatrical release here in good old RSA and the news is that they have decided not to have a theatrical release any more. So this doccie I am afraid will not be on the local circuit.

I really like some of the things Jack White does, but I just can't seem to get into any of his albums that I've heard. I can take the Raconteurs, but it seems like he just needs to do some solo stuff, IMO.

Anybody in Cape Town or surrounding area have a copy that they wouldn't mind lending/renting out for a weekend?
Willing to collect, pay rent and put down deposit.
Otherwise does anyone know where I can get hold of a copy?
Thanks

Ok so this is weird I'm watching a docci on three guitarist that I have heard but never paid much attention to. My opinion of the 3 prior to watching the docci (warning these are my personal opinions if you are easily offended don't read on) - Jack White - White Stripes - seven nation army - yawn
- The Edge - U2 - Bono - Please G*d put me out of my misery.
- Jimmy Page - Led Zepplin - 20 minute guitar solos that start nowhere and go nowhere
And for my post docci opinion - Jack White - A really innovative musician that I am definitely going to pay more attention to
- The Edge - Yawn - His not a guitarist his a tosser with a bunch of effects pedals - is that why I hate U2 so much
- Jimmy Page - Wow I didn't know he was a session musician - I should of paid more attention to him and bothered to work out the solo to Stairway to heaven. - Oh well that time has come and gone time to move on
