Rolling Stone magazine in Baida 2003 Top guitarist, Jimmy Page, 66, ranked ninth, The Edge, 49, ranked twenty-fourth, the most The young Jack White, who was only 35 years old, actually ranked seventeenth. Of course, BB King, Eric Clapton and even Ry Cooder ("Texas Paris" and "Blueberry Night" are familiar names) who are more closely related to the movie are still alive. When the Western media asks the director Davis Guggenheim Why did I choose these three handsome guitarists with different ages and styles, but they all said, "I want to find Jimmy Hendrix too".
Yes, if these three people are Jimmy Page, Keith Richards, and David Gilmour, they will become the "Three Friends", and if they are The Edge, Kirk Hammett (Metallica), and Eddie Van Halen, they will become the "Three Shots", and If it is Jack White, Jonny Greenwood (radio head color blindness), John Frusciante (the red pepper titan who announced his retirement a while ago) may become the "Three Kingdoms". But just like adding a Zhang Zhenyue to the vertical line of money, "It Might Get Loud" combines Jimmy Page, The Edge and Jack White together, and it is really a harmony. The 8 minutes in London at the Beijing Olympics closing ceremony allowed the general public to see Jimmy Page’s braid. U2 has always been high-profile and accustomed to making public appearances in large and small occasions. The guitar master), Jack White looks relatively heavy but also quite cool. His The White Stripes may be the most mysterious band in today’s music world. The 007 theme song he collaborated with Alicia Keys in the previous section was also sung in the streets and alleys. . Back to the guitar, there are really too many stories.
At the beginning of the film, Jack White made his own earth guitar, "Man, Who Says You Need Buy a Guitar"; then The Edge practiced a special kind of yoga. His love for effects became crazy, until the speakers really made his own. The voice of Jimmy Page; and Jimmy Page expresses a sense of substitution that makes music fans ecstatic. Then the three of them shared with each other, from creation to performance, from the studio to the scene, conquered and conquered, controlled and controlled, with every technological improvement and the evolution of the times, the guitar directly guides the direction of music. At the beginning, passion was motivation, but later it became a kind of battle, a habit, a way of life, and a conscious and unconscious experience.
"Technology is the destroyer of truth and emotions. Opportunity has no meaning in promoting creativity. Technology makes everything simple. The so-called modern technology distracts people." So the youngest Jack White is the most retro. He wants Looking for and grasping the natural things in those moments, the so-called aura before the aura fades; Jimmy Page retains his passion, frankness and ability. His earliest enlightenment is noise jazz, feeding the milk of rock music; and The Edge has experienced the motherland. The most lifeless era in Ireland, fortunately, it is not only depression, but also pain, resistance and self-awareness. The guitar is of course a weapon, but he has not lost his introspection. He even mentioned "This Is Spinal Tap". A rock movie full of irony, "I didn't laugh, I cried, it's too realistic".
"It Might Get Loud" is not a simple memoir of the three people, but directly brought the camera into Jimmy Page's room full of records. The old man was intoxicated by sharing every vibrato, and he carefully entangled each one of himself. The favorite tone, imagine how the notes jump out through the hands of seniors or friends. And what is the point of playing the guitar? Everyone is busy, in order to compete, in order to survive, the vast sea of rhythms and polyphony harmony, everyone does not want to be the same, "As long as you firmly believe in everything you want, good or bad performance is no longer important." Because of simplicity. Especially powerful, The Edge began to dedicate the unique work he created, to learn a C chord with the old and the young, and directly discovered that the oldest Jimmy Page contained the most punk nihilism. Speaking of punk, Jack White began to think back to his childhood in Detroit, "At that time, playing guitar was not cool at all, and playing with instruments was the most embarrassing thing." Because everyone was gritting their teeth about life, even if there was music, Hip-Hop and House are also black, DJs and rappers are beautiful, and the environment and the times force you to be punk.
Everyone has an artist’s dream, whether it is Jimmy Page, who first wanted to study biology or Jack White, who had been an apprentice in child labor. The guitar is their bridge, their chopsticks, their brushes and microphones. Jimmy Page was confiscated because he practiced his guitar between classes, because the guitar was seen as a sign of counterculture; Jack White was used as a compensation for helping friends carry the refrigerator. The Edge was the first and just tried to build one by myself. When I first walked into the piano store, I felt that the guitar was beckoning to myself, "When a person puts a guitar with a specific tone in a different environment. , There will be miracles." Jimmy Page visited a guitarist who used to serve in the Navy to practice the sustain of the guitar, and overloading the sound made it sound more violent, which was exactly what the heavy metal needed at the time. The Edge cares about new impromptu repetitions, and Jack White is indulging in his own modification and modification of the guitar.
The Edge brought the speakers to play towards the sea. Because the echo made him feel that it was two guitars instead of one, he returned to the place where "The War" was recorded back then, feeling another kind of emptiness. Jimmy Page walked into the recording studio as an apprentice and just played what he had written. This method made him crazy. He wanted something that belonged to him. He used the bow to break the ears of the listeners and break the rules, thus becoming a legend. a part of. Jack White regained his vinyl record. When he heard Son House, although he didn't have a musical instrument to accompany him, he felt that he was speaking in 1,000 different ways, and he sincerely looked forward to the next challenge. , Used siblings, red and mints to shape the image of the band, and used a naive way to help people escape from life.
All three of them are based on a Bruce architecture, but they have different footholds and different ways of observing the world and life. The Edge said: "When you pass a forest, you can see the rows of trees, from a specific If you look at the point, you will find that they are perfectly lined up in a row, so clear, with a wide view. If you stand at the wrong angle, you can't see anything. You look hard and sweaty, but you can't see anything. And you just remember, eager to find it before it disappears in that moment. The only way is-pick up the guitar." Jack White wrote: "If there is no resistance by your side or in your heart, then You need to create one, the little things of the day, the extreme emotions, the things that make you angry, disappointed or jealous." Jimmy Page said of "The Stairway to Heaven", "When writing lyrics or music, it is from One thing is transferred to another, it is an involuntary inspiration, involuntary, and our purpose and the whole reason is to capture that moment. Then we will perfect it, using an acoustic guitar or an electric guitar, how to do it on the stage You can use 12-string or Solo, and gradually speed up to climax. Rhythm, power, power and energy fluctuations, light and dark, why don’t I play? Some things continue to accumulate, from the beginning to the end, the structure, speed, and sex Climax. Sparks burst into flames, and the flames are burning."
The three people joined together in "In My Time Of Dying", "Music creation or writing requires full attention, pushing the limit, transcending the horizon, and the guitarist is the focus of this game. There is a kind of energy that connects people together, the biggest The passion of music is creation. Music drives people forward, although there will be new ways to tell old stories, but the guitar is the foundation for sharing all of this, because aura and enlightenment are attached to it. One day you will pick up the guitar, My mind is empty, there is no new work, no new ideas. Everyone who engages in creation needs a kind of talent, but there will always be that day... We work hard to make that day as far away as possible, and it’s best to stop forever. The sky is not to the end."
Director Davis Guggenheim was born in a TV series. The most commendable earlier was that he was awarded the Oscar for Best Documentary for "An Inconvenient Truth" (Unwilling to Face the Truth), but he denied that he was an environmental pioneer. This time he filmed "It Might Get Loud". He also denied that he was a rock music fan, and even denied that he was shooting in the role of a rock music researcher. He only admitted that he was a storyteller, but only interviewed by three people. , Get together, talk, collide, and finally present three people analyzing themselves as guitarists. This kind of statement is quite simple, and the mirror image presented in the film is also simple and plain. Only the amazing hand-made piano by Jack White and a few simple animation designs at the beginning, and the occasional reminiscences or recounts of the three guitar heroes, Or cross, or Solo or ensemble, or individual or band, or once or now, or vocals or music, or records or strings. However, The Edge facing the sea and the fading back of Jimmy Page at the end of the guitar blossoms are still very dramatic and symbolic, just like Benjamin's "Towards the Era of Aura", "The strange entanglement of time and space-distant objects Even though it is far away, it is as close as it is in front of you. Resting at noon in the summer, along the arc of the mountain on the horizon, or along the branch of the branch projected on the viewer, it’s true to this moment 'Being part of the visualization-this is breathing the distant mountains and the aura of the branches." The film itself is not "music", nor is it an ridiculously abstract "dream of rock and roll youth", but it's guitar heroes. The best note on the guitar that captures the moment of aura, the aura disappears.
