ANVIL! The Story of Anvil
September 3rd 2009 01:09
ANVIL is the biggest rock band you’ve never heard of. Formed in Toronto, Canada in 1978 by best friends Steve 'Lips' Kudlow and Robb Reiner, they influenced the likes of Slayer, Metallica and Anthrax, but fame and fortune somehow eluded them.
However, Kudlow and Reiner never gave up, and this engrossing doco follows the 50 year olds as they prepare to release their 18th album. Along the way, they must endure a disastrous European tour, financial troubles, and a commercial music industry that wants nothing to do with them. The film includes interviews with Lars Ulrich (Metallica), Scott Ian (Anthrax), Slash (Guns n’ Roses), and a host of other heavy-metal heavyweights.
A very human tale about the importance of perseverance and following your dreams, Anvil! is equal parts hilarious, sad and inspirational. Rock on!
