What It's About:

Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), The Edge (U2) and Jack White (The White Stripes) are three of the most unique and influential guitarists currently playing rock music. Each hails from a slightly different period, and each employs a very distinct style. Loud brings them all together to create a panoramic portrait of the musical heights that can be reached with a mere six strings. The grand finale features the jam session of every rock aficionado’s dreams.

Why I Love It:

Rock ‘n’ rollers, rejoice! Academy Award-winning filmmaker Davis Guggenheim’s follow-up to An Inconvenient Truth is a penetrating documentary of ideas, featuring killer musical performances. Importantly, it places this previously much-maligned instrument on its proper pedestal (it did change American culture forever, after all), while supplying rich insight into what it really means to be a musician. Loud is a must for anyone who’s ever played air guitar or cranked the stereo to 11 and hurt their eardrums. Prepare to feel the earth move.
