I saw this band play at a bar in downtown Chicago over the weekend and I have to tell you they rocked harder than any band out there! Just the three of them got on stage and played like they were at a sold out Madison Square Garden! They earned my respect and I salute these hardcore mother fuckers!

The thing I admire about Anvil the most is that they never folded or changed despite being jerked around by record labels and hampered by financial struggles. They continued to make records and do tours above all this. They have also outlasted many more commercially successful bands who sold stacks of albums but no longer exist by the number of records to their discography and their sheer longevity. Can't wait for the new album coming this month!

[@vinaymulukutla358]

I can’t believe I posted this comment as AnvilHead213 that many years ago and that it’s still here! I still love Anvil and heavy metal by the way \M/

[@rawkguy4896]

I think its cool that they're still around releasing albums but idk about the rest. In their documentary they desperately wanted any record label to sign them. They weren't really jerked around due to lack of interest instead of integrity for their sound imo

Saw these guys last week. They are still amazing. It was a very small venue and maybe 30 people there. But they still played their asses off like they were in front of a crowd of 50,000 at a stadium. The best part though, is you can tell they were truly having a fun time playing.

[@TommyLent]

In 1983 at 17 years old, 2 friends of mine had tickets for Zebra at the Palladium in NYC. I wasn't a big fan of them but they were okay and it was a night out. I had never heard of the band that opened for them and usually didn't pay much mind to opening bands anyway (bad move.) But they were so freakin' heavy! The song "Forged in Fire" was as heavy as it got! Keep in mind this was before some of the heavy bands came out. This song was heavier than Maiden or Priest songs because it was just so dark. Lip playing guitar with that vibrator was another attention getter. I've been an Anvil fan since.

[@vinaymulukutla358]

There is something incredibly metal about the 747 landing while Lips is shredding out the main solo and then the guys chilling out backstage with refreshments etc. Just absolute prime raging Canadian Steel here. Also the main riff is the perfect example of the Phrygian Mode in action.

I'm into hardcore and punk, but bands like Anvil (and other 80s thrash bands) are what led me to punk. So it will be with great pleasure that I will go see Anvil in Dallas on May 19th, 2018. Went to a Turnstile gig last night (April 24 in Austin) and couldn't believe I saw an Anvil flyer! I'm moving to Ft. Worth in 2 weeks so I'll drive an hour to see Anvil in Dallas. Man, they've got to be in their 60s and still doing this?! Well, I'm 50 & still in the pit & stage diving so I guess age is only how you live/think/feel.

[@BolognaSkinBandit]

Even if you don't want to follow them musically, follow them in the sense of how they felt about music. They WOULD NOT give up even though they never became famous at all. They didn't give 2 shits if people didn't like them, they just wanted to keep playing tunes. I love Anvil and they are a pretty great example of dedication.

[@alejandro711ve]

I met Anvil in the 80's when I was a teenager, then I stopped hear about this band for many years until I watched That Metal Show talking about the premiere of the documentary many years ago. Being a drummer in a rock band in the late 80's and early 90's in my country and my band fell apart, seeing the dedication, the most heroic effort and the love of these guys about they do, made my eyes watered when i watched the documentary. They deserve an award, they are one of the forerunners of Metal.

[@dmjc]

Went to their live performance last night. They are fucking awesome. Still better than most bands I've seen. The Live energy was insane, the music was dead clean. I've heard worse audio at professional concerts not held in small venues like the one they played in Melbourne.
