Anyway. The Edge has earned his stripes as a guitarist even though I am NOT a U2 fan, I actually can't stand U2, but it's mainly because I don't like Bono. You don't have to like his music, but you should appreciate the Edge as a guitarist. When you think about it, Jimmy represents the 60s/70s in guitaring, the Edge the 80s and Jack the 90s/2000s. They all take influence from the blues. That's the link.
Haha, another one who hates U2 because of Bono. I got friends like you. They think U2 is shit because "Bono is an asshole". I don't get it. (neither what bonos personality has to do with their music and second why he is an asshole)
@kekemankek The personality of the frontman has an awful lot to do with how you perceive the music of the band. Which even without Bono's holier-than-thou attitude I don't enjoy. Is that ok with you? It'd be ever so lovely if I could have an opinion without being patronised for not kissing Bono's own-trumpet-blowing hypocrite arse. BTW, I stuck up for the Edge in my last comment despite this. So read my actual comment before you attack me please.
@kekemankek im soo sorry for the way i acted on comments yesterday i realise i was being unnecessarily horrible to you and i apologise. it was nothing to do with you. but basically i explained it to you anyway :)
@LillyCandyCane Thats like saying you dont like Elton John because hes gay! Your not fucking him your listening to his music! So you dont like Bono , like you know him personally anyways you prob heard an interview where he was having a bad day and went " I hate U2" . Music Music Music its all about the music!
@stoolet no. I don't like U2 because I think they're overrated, and I don't like Bono seperately because I think he's arrogant. Is it ok by you to have an opinion? I actually don't know why I'm justifying it to you. I just don't appreciate being patronised by you and your presumption. What has Elton John got to do with this? Read what I said properly before you get up on your high horse.
yeah..and in defence of the edge...he himself is the first one to humbly (emphasis on humble) admit to being lucky to do what he does...he still thinks the band will be "found out" for how much they don't know....he loves and lives his gift!
yeah thats what i tell people, jimmy n jacks bands make guitar music, where vocals are just supporting the guitar. But with u2 its vocal music with the guitar merely supporting the vocals. Of course edge composes vocals too so hes great
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
wow you are all a bunch skinny white queers. Im just saying I saw the movie, the edge does nothing but show how he cant really make good music and how he basiclly relies on equiptment to make his shit sound good. Jack white is amazing and so is jimmy page. Im just saying the edge does that belong there, noone looks up to him as an influence besides shitty musciscians like jack johnson or john mayer. id much rather have seen someone else, and it woulda made more sence
Yeah, we're gonna really pay attention to musical criticism from a fuckin halfwit who posts under the name "dookiebutt" ... what are you, three years old? Fuck off, punk, youre not worthy of licking Edge's asscrack.
Youre a moron. Youre the typical idiotic guitarist wannabe that thinks guitaring is only about riffs n solos. What Edge does is create an atmosphere for the vocal melodies of U2 with his guitar. Its a different approach to guitar playing. Idiot
haha yyea im the moron who likes kurt kobain, the biggest faggot bitch to ever hold a guitar besides yourself.stop trying to sound like you know what ur talking about, i merealy gave an opinion, its u jack offs who have nothing better to do but to comment on it.

Replace the Edge with Eddie Van Halen? Eddie has drank himself retarded, and I'm sure he's proud of his Retard Army standing up for him on Youtube. I know I shouldn't be spouting off to a Retard Sargeant like you DookieButt, but I just can't help it. God you are a fucking idiot man, read your shit before you post it asshole. You can't say shit like "The Edge Sucks" - he's sold millions of records. So that means you are retarded, or do the rest of us "just not get it" like you do? Fag
i personally think that the edge could have been replaced by another guitarist. he looked quite mediocre next to jimmy and jack... not hating just throwing my thought out there. i enjoyed the movie nonetheless
I don't want to come across sounding like I think they should have used Eddie instead. That would have been awkward. I don't have a problem with The Edge, he just didn't fit in the scheme of things and ended up coming off as a bit of a flake. Cobain was the blues link between Page and White, so I'm not sure know who they should have used instead. The Edge worked, fuck it. It doesn't matter, it was still a good film. Sing on brother, play on drummer.
(con'd) i mean, we're still hearing NEW, Fresh tunes from them, 30 years after their inception. that says a lot. No my Friend, I'm not sitting here petitioning for U2 particulary, and they are certainly NOT, my favorite band by any means, as a matter of fact, I WOULD rather listen to SO MANY OTHER great Van Halen Tunes, than Wholly anything by U2, but 1984? Lol! I don't know. let's call this. i think i've gone on waaaayyyy to long here. I respect your point, and i've made mine. cheers!
@drumdude46 what "NEW, Fresh tunes" has U2 made in the how however long? The only reason anyone even remembers them beyond 'Still Haven't Found' and 'Angel of Harlem' is because Bono has been a high profile activist. Both bands have been over the hill since the 80's. This debate is silly, it seems both of use would take Zeppelin or White Stripes over U2 or Van Halen any day. But I will say this, at least Van Halen rocked a little. U2 is soft rock, or as Nirvana put it: "moderate rock".
wow you are a fucking moron!!!! do you really think new years day is soft rock? or sunday bloody sunday, or try wire. they are the biggest band in the world you idiot. and yes they are still putting out new music.
(con'd) U2 on the other hand, are still here. all original members. Van Halen unfortunately, is now a joke, after everything they put themselves thru ( Wolfgang on bass? are you kidding me. Gary Cherone, Hagar, etc, etc.. all the embarassing, Lame changes the band has undergone, and not to mention having to endure one of their shows. shit, I'm an Old Van Halen Fan bro. loved "Most" of their stuff. but now? it's sad. I'd rather see U2, ANY DAY, over Van Heflin. they are finished.
To be quite honest, I don't really care much for either band. They've both been lackluster for the last 20 or so years. Someone recently replied to a comment I posted like 7 months ago, so I replied back - that's why it appears "strange". Have you seen this documentary yet though? The Edge claimed punk rock on several occasions and came off as a complete dufus the entire time. Plus, Page & White seemed to bond, and the Edge ended up being the third wheel. It was a bit embarrassing to watch.
well, Van Halen hasn't officially "Been" a band (all of them, Roth and/or Anthony included) since about 1985 or so) what i meant about U2, is not so much that they've remained vital or "important" over the last 20 years ( which, in fact, they HAVE) but was just weighing in on your comment about the song, "1984" which i have NO love for. and most other tunes from that record. no a good period right there for them. u2 however, has continuted to generate HUGE hits, all these years.
The whole point of the thing is the contrast, they've got enough footage to show that the edge can play and not just be this melodious delay master, but that's 'his' sound and that's what page and white are there for.
Yo yo yo seriously guy's ya'lls gotta go back to tha originals...now who the hell invented the lute or the lyre? Give him props yo cuz it's not gonna get loud, but it's gonna be EDUCATIONAL YO! But seriously yall - we gotta interview the first person to wind a string tight and pluck it. That dude was the man yo!!!
Just because something isn't "original" doesn't mean it isn't genuine. Gandhi wasn't the original pacifist, MLK wasn't the first civil rights activist, Jimmy wasn't he first to play rock-blues guitar, so what?
This "Originality" and individualism is overrated.
Edge is not overrated at all he is just different and does not confirm to the usual guitar ego bollocks.He is unique ,inventive is is very gifted all round.
Lot's of folks on youtube are playing EVH licks, does that make overrated too? As easy as a lick is to play, all guitarist deserves the respect for creating a sound we deem worthy of mimicking in the privacy of our homes. :)
i dont think you understand what unique and inventive is and as for that dopey conforming to non-conformity remark
jimmy page isn't that hard to play. either .you get teenages who can play stairway to heaven perfectly it is blue based rock music tho i like it. but i bet you could NEVER come up with sounds that edge produces...Never and thats the trouble with metal heads .what they don't understand guitar wise they mock
The Edge is modest and down to earth. Where Page comes of a long winded school teacher which I think started to get under Edge's skin. Just my opinion.
They're guitar players who brought innovation (especially Edge with all the technology stuff) and who can create feelings with what they play. And that's damn rare nowadays. So seriously, guys, these three are fine.
Guys... In terms of creativity, these three are clearly among the best... You can't put Van Halen and Steve Vai in the same category. They're awesome as guitar players, like REALLY awesome, the kind of awesome you'd realise when you gather friends to watch Youtube videos altogether; but they would never come any close to write songs like, not to name the most popular ones, When the Levee Breaks, There's no Home for you here or UltraViolet...
I'm not a huge Van Halen fan, but 1984 was full of stand out songs. Eddie is no joke. Hot For Teacher is blazing guitar work. The intro is probably my favorite riff ever. I'll take Van Halen (or even, ack, Van Hagar) over U2 any day.
@lusidghost uh i'd like everyone to listen to what i'm about to say to this guy: "lusidghost" you can't be serious. your actually comparing a 1984 album by Van Halen ( who i DO like) but an album in my opinion that was Fairly weak, Music Wise, compared to most the rest of their body of work ( come on, "Jump? Top Jimmy? garbage dude) and your asking the question: What has U2 Done that is THAT GOOD? !!!!! LOL!!!! Oh my Fucking god. your an Idiot. U2 has produced such better stuff
Listen to the intro riff on 'Hot for Teacher'. He's not playing through a million effects processors, he's just straight ripping it like a complete badass. and aside from you not liking 1984, what exactly is your argument?
@lusidghost Well, No "Argument" friend, but......based on your "strange" comment, comparing what you said : "1984 better than any U2 to date" ???? ( were you literally speaking of the Actual Van Halen Record of the same title? I assumed so.) yes, i'm my opinion ( and.......mine only) that '84 record was no so great. so you understand, I'm perplexed why you would draw any parallel between the two ( U2/Halen) as i said, i DO like Van Halen. but they haven't really lasted, have they?
I think Alex Lifeson would have been a great choice to round out the three of them. How many popular guitarists has he influenced? Hundreds... incuding Jack White.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The edge is all right Jimmy page is the king but Jack white is allright I agree with John fruscianti as a better choice. But Steve vai would kick all of there asses music wise
I would like all of those guys who say that with all that Edge's gear they would play just like him, getting that gear and setting up the effects. Haha.
Next, I'd like to see them keeping the tempo in, for example, 'BAD'. I would really like to see that....
And I would really enjoy seeing them come up with their own effects setup, as good as Where The Streets Have No Name or Original Of The Species...
You guys are just plain dumb. There is no other guitarist like The Edge.
What good are you if you need large amounts of technology to make a worthy song. It's not that he's bad, it is just that he is kind of uninteresting. He doesn't really mix it up very much, and I don't think he has the ability to take any guitar, amp, or whatever and make it sound good. Page and White are geniuses with anything.
I can't believe people continue to diss 'The Edge'. Is he not 'rock' enough? I challenge any dreamer here to write a rock song better than he. There is not one other person that could recreate his sound even with all his pedals. And anybody that tries to is recreating HIS sound. Not their own. He is an innovator. He isn't a sheep. Just like a great singer, drummer, they bring something new to the table.
All three of these guys are in great bands and have written amazing songs... But to call any of these guys the greatest guitar players alive or of all time makes you look foolish for not having seen Chet Atkins with a guitar in his hands. And of all time, NO WAY, I'm sure all three would say Robert Johnson was the king.
The greatest ever is surely heavily opinionated. Many would say Jimmy Page others Hendrix and fair enough other may well say Robert Johnson. Again Chet Atkins being the best guitarist alive is your opinion and makes you look foolish telling people they are wrong to be entitled to a differing view. I myself think that Jimmy Page is better the Chet though i don't say you're an idiot for thinking differantly
One can't talk about greatest ever guitarist without giving a shout out to Jeff Beck, but you're right, everyone is entitled to an opinion. But also, Atkins and Page are just in different leagues. Atkins may be the greatest for the style of music he played, but it's a little apples and oranges. And not to get nit picky here but Chet Atkins has not been with us since 2001.
pretentious? jack white is jack white...jimmy page is jimmy page...and that other guy is "the Edge" whatever. 2 icons and a lucky guy. and john smohn, jack white is the HEART of this movie as it is his desire to learn, and take musicianship and story telling (isnt that fucking great cause that is what music SHOULD BE) from the roots to the knows no bounds level! its why he does so many projects with other musicians. ive never really heard anyone come out like that - which is y JACK RULES
i wish you could hear the answers from the artists over the screams of the meatheads in the audience -- personally,tho i dig jack white,i think for the younger generation represenitive,john fruciante would've been a much better choice,way more innovative,smarter about music and less pretencious...still,sounds like a neat concept for a movie geared toward us guitar-heads -- glad to see jimmy happy(and standing)
totally agree with John musically, but have you seen him in interviews? dude is permafried, i'm glad they picked white only because he can speak properly lol. but frusciante definitely has a more innovative and influential sound. white is good, but his guitar style comes from obvious places, one being led zeppelin.
john's influences are blatantly obvious also. hendrix anyone? i think the main reason they included jack white is have that 90s garage rock element in the doco. but yeh john is the better guitarist but jack is the better artist/musician. jack white is almost single handedly keeping rock n roll alive.
John really wears his influences on his sleeve, but in my opinion- just my opinion- I think John's a better artist/musician. His stuff in RHCP may not be as creative and as innovative as Jack's stuff, but have you heard his solo albums? I've never heard anything like them. Nothing like you would expect from the chili's guitarist, and in my opinion, he's better than white in most areas musically.
But I'm a little biased, and I don't listen to much of White's work, I just never got him.
I agree, John would have been a better choice, but Jack White has a much more mysterious and quirky personality. He would be much more entertaining to watch in a movie. Plus, he has more acting experience, did you see him in Walk Hard?
I think its funny how all the metal heads are like toni iommi!!! randy rhodes!!!! what a joke.... I think the three of them offer so many different stylistic differences. All three of them are incredible players. The film would have been retarded if it was all the shredders. Also all of the metal guitar players / shredders have no ear for tone usually. Also if you wanna see that crap (aka masturbation) go watch the G5 videos. All in all this is definitely the best mix of players.
90's check out nick mcabe from VERVE..no-ne has ever played like he does and create sounds like him.. areal genius which all the other guitarists are too.
yes could,nt agree more if u wanted more classic rock angus young or richieblackmore are available or if you wanted someone like randy rhodes then van halen perhaps
they are all old though, the point in this movie is to get the classic influence of Jimmy Page, The 80's comeback vibe from the Edge and the modern ideas from Jack White. all guitarist's from different eras.
So has anyone seen this yet? Is it even going to come out? What a waste for it to just be sitting there...I really want to see it, hopefully it gets distributed or something...
with regards to Jack White, everyones going on about "ohh such and such a guy is a better guitarist"
i dont think its necessarily about absolute skill. Jack has brought back to basics heavy handed blues back to the mainstream, and slide guitars. Whenever theres a white stripes song in the UK charts, there is nothing at all like it from 1-999..
Im a hardcore zep fan, but i respect jack white massively. Like page too, hes a real gent.
Bad quality, but exellent movie! Wonder if there is the full movie on Youtube.
Also it seems kind of weird to me (in a way) these three guitarists are all pretty good and in a way (or soon) legendary, but Jack White, The Edge and Jimmy Page don't seem to fit togheter. Maybe it's only a thing of different generations...
A strat. Jimmy Page was revolutionary with the Yardbirds and Led Zeppelin using these incredible licks for nearly every song. Jack White is very talented and understands blues and classic rock and has renewed it in todays world. The Edge uses semi-simple stuff and adds tons of effects to make music, but he is still sort of noteworthy for this movie.
Edge is NOT generic..how dya come to that conclusion?? jimmy page and white are blues based guitarists .Edge comes from a completely different universe.tho for all the edge bashers outhere BB KING said the edge was one of the best rythym playes he had ever played with in 40 years.
This is awesome! Two of my favorite bands of all time. I love Led Zeppelin they were amazing and I beleive the white stripes is one of the only modern band that still plays true Rock n' Roll. I think they both Represent their generation perfectly, but I don't really get why the edge is on here. I like U2 but isn't their a better guitarist to represent the 80s? Slash maby? well anyways could anyone tell me were I could get this movie? I couldn't find it at Wal-Mart, and I would love to see it....
oh man. you can tell immediately when people have no idea what it means to play guitar. jack white is the most technically gifted rock guitarist of the modern age, save john frusciante. you've got those two, then maybe derek trucks, then it all goes downhill. all three of these guys are legends in different ways, and i'm excited for this film. and stop hating on jack!
hmmm. bellamy can play for sure. maybe i should rephrase. there are a LOT of great musicians out there. if you arent seeing them, then you have your head stuck in the mainstream. but the difference is that there was once a time where the great musicians WERE the mainstream. and i just dont think muse has had nearly the kind of impact the chili peppers or the white stripes have had on this generation. thats why they chose edge instead of satriani. its about more than just skill.
i think great choice picking led zeppelin, jack white is the one with a shorter career so people may not like him but i actually im so glad he plays great the fusion of blues and all the simplicity and the way he plays is very raw, but i really dont understand why Edge i mean he has a totally different thing going on compared to the other 2 guitarist... and i think they could have picked a better guitarist, but i dont know just he doesnt fit int he picture..
Everyone sees that, but I don't see whay it should change. Jack White can't be compared to Jimmy in a way too. It only depends on the way you see the way of the selection of the musicians for the documentary.
Even though, I don't se who could have been at his place, definitly not like Slash or Angus Young... see?
jack white is far from emo, he's one of the only guitarists active today that have taken the blues to someplace different, and done a good job. i laugh when people talk about young guitarists like Mayer and they've never heard of White or Shepherd (Mayer's a good player but i don't think he stacks up).
i was not going to offend his musical tallent...in my humble opinion he's brilliant composer, good guitar player but he is not improviser..however he's best guitar player in U2 :) happy New Year
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I have to see this movie. Most of all, to find out why in the HELL Jack White was selected to appear. I cannot understand the fascination with him. There are so many better writers and players out there. His music is garbage. I guess the producers needed someone to appeal to younger crowd. Maybe the movie will open my eyes to his dazzling virtuosity, but I doubt it.
You are so right! I have thought several times that Jack/WS should do a CD of just blues. Death Letter is one of my favorite WS songs. And of course, Boll Weevil.
Is this movie out yet? Is there a trailer? I just found out about it yesterday and almost died...A documentary about my favorite thing ever. And it has one of my favorites, Page! I must see this now!
Don't know how they got The Edge in there though. I guess he is underrated, but his playing is the type that blends with music, not really meant to stand out, even if its got tons of effects.
I could think of an amazing bunch of players to feature in this, but I'm still curious and I wanna see!
The Edge <3

Lol! I don't know. let's call this. i think i've gone on waaaayyyy to long here. I respect your point, and i've made mine. cheers!
drumdude46 2 years ago
@drumdude46 what "NEW, Fresh tunes" has U2 made in the how however long? The only reason anyone even remembers them beyond 'Still Haven't Found' and 'Angel of Harlem' is because Bono has been a high profile activist. Both bands have been over the hill since the 80's. This debate is silly, it seems both of use would take Zeppelin or White Stripes over U2 or Van Halen any day. But I will say this, at least Van Halen rocked a little. U2 is soft rock, or as Nirvana put it: "moderate rock".

(con'd) U2 on the other hand, are still here. all original members. Van Halen unfortunately, is now a joke, after everything they put themselves thru ( Wolfgang on bass? are you kidding me. Gary Cherone, Hagar, etc, etc.. all the embarassing, Lame changes the band has undergone, and not to mention having to endure one of their shows. shit, I'm an Old Van Halen Fan bro. loved "Most" of their stuff. but now? it's sad. I'd rather see U2, ANY DAY, over Van Heflin. they are finished.
drumdude46 2 years ago
To be quite honest, I don't really care much for either band. They've both been lackluster for the last 20 or so years. Someone recently replied to a comment I posted like 7 months ago, so I replied back - that's why it appears "strange". Have you seen this documentary yet though? The Edge claimed punk rock on several occasions and came off as a complete dufus the entire time. Plus, Page & White seemed to bond, and the Edge ended up being the third wheel. It was a bit embarrassing to watch.
lusidghost 2 years ago
well, Van Halen hasn't officially "Been" a band (all of them, Roth and/or Anthony included) since about 1985 or so) what i meant about U2, is not so much that they've remained vital or "important" over the last 20 years ( which, in fact, they HAVE) but was just weighing in on your comment about the song, "1984" which i have NO love for. and most other tunes from that record. no a good period right there for them. u2 however, has continuted to generate HUGE hits, all these years.

Guys... In terms of creativity, these three are clearly among the best... You can't put Van Halen and Steve Vai in the same category. They're awesome as guitar players, like REALLY awesome, the kind of awesome you'd realise when you gather friends to watch Youtube videos altogether; but they would never come any close to write songs like, not to name the most popular ones, When the Levee Breaks, There's no Home for you here or UltraViolet...
therealspiritious 2 years ago 2
I'm not a huge Van Halen fan, but 1984 was full of stand out songs. Eddie is no joke. Hot For Teacher is blazing guitar work. The intro is probably my favorite riff ever. I'll take Van Halen (or even, ack, Van Hagar) over U2 any day.

@lusidghost uh i'd like everyone to listen to what i'm about to say to this guy: "lusidghost" you can't be serious. your actually comparing a 1984 album by Van Halen ( who i DO like) but an album in my opinion that was Fairly weak, Music Wise, compared to most the rest of their body of work ( come on, "Jump? Top Jimmy? garbage dude) and your asking the question: What has U2 Done that is THAT GOOD? !!!!! LOL!!!! Oh my Fucking god. your an Idiot. U2 has produced such better stuff

( were you literally speaking of the Actual Van Halen Record of the same title? I assumed so.) yes, i'm my opinion ( and.......mine only) that '84 record was no so great. so you understand, I'm perplexed why you would draw any parallel between the two ( U2/Halen) as i said, i DO like Van Halen. but they haven't really lasted, have they?

SirJackRyan 2 years ago 5
What good are you if you need large amounts of technology to make a worthy song. It's not that he's bad, it is just that he is kind of uninteresting. He doesn't really mix it up very much, and I don't think he has the ability to take any guitar, amp, or whatever and make it sound good. Page and White are geniuses with anything.
danizzlesnizzle 2 years ago 2
I can't believe people continue to diss 'The Edge'. Is he not 'rock' enough? I challenge any dreamer here to write a rock song better than he. There is not one other person that could recreate his sound even with all his pedals. And anybody that tries to is recreating HIS sound. Not their own. He is an innovator. He isn't a sheep. Just like a great singer, drummer, they bring something new to the table.
hutcheasties 2 years ago 6
All three of these guys are in great bands and have written amazing songs... But to call any of these guys the greatest guitar players alive or of all time makes you look foolish for not having seen Chet Atkins with a guitar in his hands. And of all time, NO WAY, I'm sure all three would say Robert Johnson was the king.
snapcult 2 years ago
The greatest ever is surely heavily opinionated. Many would say Jimmy Page others Hendrix and fair enough other may well say Robert Johnson. Again Chet Atkins being the best guitarist alive is your opinion and makes you look foolish telling people they are wrong to be entitled to a differing view. I myself think that Jimmy Page is better the Chet though i don't say you're an idiot for thinking differantly
fohawk31 2 years ago
One can't talk about greatest ever guitarist without giving a shout out to Jeff Beck, but you're right, everyone is entitled to an opinion. But also, Atkins and Page are just in different leagues. Atkins may be the greatest for the style of music he played, but it's a little apples and oranges. And not to get nit picky here but Chet Atkins has not been with us since 2001.

totally agree with John musically, but have you seen him in interviews? dude is permafried, i'm glad they picked white only because he can speak properly lol. but frusciante definitely has a more innovative and influential sound. white is good, but his guitar style comes from obvious places, one being led zeppelin.

john's influences are blatantly obvious also. hendrix anyone? i think the main reason they included jack white is have that 90s garage rock element in the doco. but yeh john is the better guitarist but jack is the better artist/musician. jack white is almost single handedly keeping rock n roll alive.

John really wears his influences on his sleeve, but in my opinion- just my opinion- I think John's a better artist/musician. His stuff in RHCP may not be as creative and as innovative as Jack's stuff, but have you heard his solo albums? I've never heard anything like them. Nothing like you would expect from the chili's guitarist, and in my opinion, he's better than white in most areas musically.
But I'm a little biased, and I don't listen to much of White's work, I just never got him.

Also if you wanna see that crap (aka masturbation) go watch the G5 videos. All in all this is definitely the best mix of players.

with regards to Jack White, everyones going on about "ohh such and such a guy is a better guitarist"
i dont think its necessarily about absolute skill. Jack has brought back to basics heavy handed blues back to the mainstream, and slide guitars. Whenever theres a white stripes song in the UK charts, there is nothing at all like it from 1-999..

A strat. Jimmy Page was revolutionary with the Yardbirds and Led Zeppelin using these incredible licks for nearly every song.

Everyone sees that, but I don't see whay it should change. Jack White can't be compared to Jimmy in a way too. It only depends on the way you see the way of the selection of the musicians for the documentary.

jack white is far from emo, he's one of the only guitarists active today that have taken the blues to someplace different, and done a good job. i laugh when people talk about young guitarists like Mayer and they've never heard of White or Shepherd (Mayer's a good player but i don't think he stacks up).

I have to see this movie. Most of all, to find out why in the HELL Jack White was selected to appear. I cannot understand the fascination with him. There are so many better writers and players out there. His music is garbage. I guess the producers needed someone to appeal to younger crowd. Maybe the movie will open my eyes to his dazzling virtuosity, but I doubt it.
