Sundance Film Festival

we always do sundance....
i mean, it's right here. :wink:

plus, there's tons of music, everywhere.

so, we often see some pretty cool flicks long before they hit the mainstream...



saw a cool flic saturday...

"It Might Get Loud"

it featured Jimmy Page, the Edge, and Jack White.

Directoravis Guggenheim (an inconvenient truth)

jimmy page is cool as hell.



if you've never done sundance before, and you like movies of all kinds, you oughta go.
plan now, as you have to sign up for lottery for tickets months in advance....

we're seeing 7 movies this year, one of them actually was a collection of shorts, and there were 7 of those, so 13 actual movies.
some of them, amazing, and they'll never see mainstream release.

While each guitarist describes his own musical rebellion, a rock'n roll summit is being arranged. Set on an empty soundstage, the musicians come together, crank up the amps and play. They also share their influences, swap stories, and teach each other songs. During the summit Page's double-neck guitar, The Edge's array of effects pedals and White's new mic, custom built into his guitar, go live. The musical journey is joined by visual grandeur too. We see the stone halls of Headley Grange where "Stairway to Heaven" was composed, visit a haunting Tennessee farmhouse where Jack White writes a song on-camera, and eavesdrop inside the dimly lit Dublin studio where The Edge lays down initial guitar tracks for U2's forthcoming single. The images, like the stories, will linger in the mind long after the reverb fades.

weird... even if i'm not a page's fan, i would never dare hold my guitar if he's in the same room...

SURE YOU WOULD!
LOL

he's obviously such a fan, of guitar in general, i don't think he'd pass any dispersions...

especially if you are capable of playing from the heart, and not from the hands.

you see this clearly, in the movie...
