Anvil's Story: A Long & Grinding Road to Realize Dreams of Metal Stardom

(10/5/09) Anvil founding members Steve "Lips" Kudlow and Robb Reiner remark on their improbable second chance at Heavy Metal fame and maybe a little fortune.
The band's emergence from obscurity has come after the well-received documentary, "Anvil! The Story of Anvil" told of their struggle and unwillingness to give up on a dream of greater success, even as the odds and advancing years were against them.

Anvil the movie is awesome. They are true artists that just want to play and love their fans. ROCK ON ANVIL!

[@ronehler9014]

Hanz Krypt is another band with a great story of a band never giving up

[@tbnterprises]

Shit, opening for AC/DC is a way better gig than opening for Maiden - the economy could be as fucked as possible and AC/DC would fill an area. I know they aren't really "Metal", but I promise you in America - the AC/DC gig is a much bigger gig as far as turnout and money. I hope Anvil make enough to set themselves up for good.

Hahahahahahahaha....Anvil will never get big.

Actually it worked out better this way, for them and the fans. We all get a lesson in priorities! Not necessarily music but about not giving up. And they fuckin rock!! Plus they didn’t get caught up in the beast and burnt out. 👍❤️

[@markusaurelius777]

Better? Playing to 30 people a night ? LOL

[@guzzilee9757]

One of them used to deliver fish in Toronto to a restaurant where I worked. He was very nice and would keep me posted when they played. I remember he was a very nice person.

Angus saw the movie and asked what he could do to help - opening band!

[@kentpirate2411]

Legends on legends!

I think that was Katz deli they were eating in in the last scene. Good corned beef and pastrami.

Christ😂

[@FunkKlock]

no no no no acdc...should open for anvil

[@markusaurelius777]

Keep drinking that tainted Kool-Aid.

[@nitrojoe9]

when they said opening for the biggest metal band on earth, a band that isnt metal is not what i was hoping for. i was expecting iron maiden or something

[@Patrick_0n]

They are remastering the anvil movie in 2022 because after like 10 more shit albums since the anvil movie came out no one gives a fuck about this band again.

[@likkidixx]

Wato problemo

[@markusaurelius777]

Yep, the founding members are jerks too. After 3 albums, they went down the toilet.

[@AudiophileTommy]

The world IS a much better place with Anvil in it 🥹
