ANVIL ALERT!

Rent this movie!
It’s not a Spinal Tap knock-off. It’s the real-deal documentary on a truly seminal metal band that never quite made it.
Entertaining, thought-provoking, misty-eyed and funny! It’s a sweet, charming and touching story of a very real Canadian metal band that hasn’t put down the drum stick or picks for 30 years. You just want to grab them and give them a big, heart-felt hug through the whole fick.

I’ve seen the movie trailers for this film, but have yet to see it. It’s been on my not-so-short list of things to do though. Thanks for the reminder!
Seriously, Stu, I know you’ll enjoy it. I barely remember these guys. I think, over the years, their spirit and influence morphed into 20 other better-known metal bands. They’re in their 50’s now and get out and kick major metal ass!
I sort of remember the name Anvil. I had a crew of headbangers working for me and this band among others was commonly heard upstairs where they worked. Can’t say that I remember them “standing out” in any way but I love documentaries about musicians so I will definitely check it out.
