You have no idea how happy it makes me to find out Anvil is still rocking it

[@lovecraftmusic8717]

same! Lips is too cool!

[@tymanngruter1808]

The band that changed metal! 🎯

[@jerveman]

This guy is probably the coolest metal dude I've ever heard in an interview! Kudos to Kudlow!

[@Mike4metal]

Anvil Deserves All The Success and Recognition They’re Finally Getting! Thrash On Boys!🤘🏻🔥🔥🔥

[@giuseppmetallic8872]

I saw anvi last friday Steve played guitar in the crowd in the begining of the show after that show he came again in the crown to make pictures with us i am so happy cause i hold his hand he is a really cool guy WE LOVE YOU Steve "lips"

[@thekillingspeed]

LIPS! He's a true legend. The embodiment of living your craft.

[@RaiderX948]

Lips is a true Rock N Rolla, keep kickin' ass

[@gabaghoul6759]

The way these guys keep grinding is inspiring.

[@blatantlocalism1041]

These guys absolutely BRING IT live. LONG LIVE ANVIL!

[@budgetguitaristcom]

Love these guys!!! If you like rock, you need to see "The Story of Anvil". It's just awesome to see this band get successful again because of the movie. You really want to root for them.

[@hazysativa3045]

"Heavy-Duty-ize" I love Lips... I learn a new term every time I hear him talk. That Tokai is under rated! I was about to say how tired he looked but then he mentioned this is the last night of a 40 gig run and I'd say he's looking pretty dapper'

[@musicmagnet100]

It's cool how simple his guitar setup is, he just found a sound that worked and stuck with it for all these years. I would never have guessed he was using Fender twins.

[@maidenslayer]

I have every single cd they've done. Something warm about Anvil.

[@antney6745]

God Damn Lips, Your gears seen some miles! All the best, Rock on Bro🤙

[@jeremyhardt4073]

I love this guy and the huge balls he swings everywhere he goes. Inspiration to constantly do what you want to do.

[@Songslayer]

Hits me right in the feels. Such a sweet man working so hard all these years to bring his metal passion to us all. Criminally underrated. I hate using the P word but ANYone calling themself a metalhead that doesn't wave the Anvil banner high n' hard is an absolute fucking poser in my books

[@magnusjarl9575]

Same setup as early Ted Nugent .First Anvil ”Hard n Heavy” from 1981 lissen to the solos ,Sounds a lot like Nugent 👍👍🤘

[@revivedfears]

You're right! He loves early Nugent. His original reasoning for using the hollow body guitars was to differentiate himself from Nugent as he was so influenced by him he didn't want to be perceived as a copycat. I remember seeing him say that decades ago now

[@AudiophileTommy]

The absolute HARDEST working band EVER 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@avelinosilvadias]

All hail the mighty "lips"🤜🤘🤛

[@Verum_X]

Anvil is inspirational! You gotta love em

[@Derazed85]

I´m not a big fan of Anvil to be honest. The movie made me to listen to their catalog after Metal on Metal. And I´m still not a great fan. But I really admire their dedication, probably the most hard warking band ever. Huge respect for this band! I really hoping they are doing well financially now... Fuck 9 to 5!

[@TheMack]

I saw the Anvil movie on TV but didn't know anything about the band and I haven't really listened to more than a couple of songs. But I like the attitude, just raw balls to the wall hard rock. Just look at that equipment, it's back to basic, slam your fist hard! =)

[@jonkerrmusic]

Had the pleasure of catching Anvil last month - very fun show and they still bring the fuckin' rock & roll!

[@seagullpoet]

He’s definitely a road warrior. Touring Canada in the wintertime? -20.0. No way.

[@georgelorence1089]

These guys are the real deal. So underrated!!!

[@bretthansen3560]

From Wisconsin! U got the Geneva theater in lake geneva and the Vixen in McHenry Illinois { 30 minutes from each otherrrŕr rock on brothers

[@xhannesx8881]

Love anvil one of the first heavy metal bands I started listning to along with Black sabbath, slayer and Ozzy!

[@snakeskinns8192]

Very informative! very cool! and he and I both use some of the same gear in common. Wow! Rock on, Steve! 🤘😎🤘

[@tymanngruter1808]

Anvil is the backbone off metal! MOOOOOORE

[@Friday13thMetal]

My buddy who I've known for years now I'm teching for the band . Love theses guys

[@clopper3753]

Great Great band! Keep on rockin!

[@CellarDoor_Stino]

OMG this made my day!!

[@fuzzmountain7583]

Lips is the man

[@duncandistortion]

I've always like his lead work.

[@klauth_Yksyn]

This was cool! Always wondered what he ran for amps.

[@StratsRUs]

Semi-Hollow Flying V. That is cool.

[@iggrut]

Lips is a great guy :)

[@SGED392]

Interesting Never seen a metal dude playing fender twins

[@benvad9010]

I just came her by chance and I find this very interesting regarding his equipment and what they are. I haven’t a clue of what he’s talking about b

[@baudryalain8034]

Lips in his bus very intelligent music show he Is one of the best

[@hairycat6095]

thumbs up for Lips

[@bretthansen3560]

It's this year

[@ENGlishJELLo-yk7up]

Lips might be the only metal guitarist to use Fender amps!

[@HammerHed13]

LOL, I'm one of those "old" fans

[@revivedfears]

Wow! Amazing to see Anvil on here. Did you by any chance film a bus invaders episode for them?

[@digitaltourbus]

We did not. We tried, but they weren't interested in showing off their vehicle.

[@revivedfears]

@@digitaltourbus is weed legal where you are?

[@digitaltourbus]

@@revivedfears yes

[@rudycastillo6369]

so a clean amp with a dirt box u really dont see that anymore

[@RockyRMR]

Peace, LIPS! A real legend 🤘

[@bretthansen3560]

2 birds with one ...

[@geet77777]

Thank they make an action figure of this guy already?

[@CBT5777]

He has no fingernails. 4:22 Weird, I've never seen nails cut back that far.
