Always made me laugh how in the opening all these metal stars waxed poetic how good and how big Anvil was/is. They should put their money where their mouth and have Anvil open for them now and help them out.

Actually they did. They opened for a bunch of acts and they actually are performing routinely now

@@FranciscoSilva-bv9qq yeah, they do OK now playing small gigs around the world. There was a long time though where they were not doing OK! And all these bands that made it big that say anvil influence them tremendously could’ve saved them by letting them open for them! Metallica wasn’t interested, Guns N’ Roses wasn’t interested all the big bands that were influenced by Enville were not influenced in saving them when they had a chance! That’s a fact

the only reason why anvil made it somewhat in the end was merely because of this pity documentary in which they get on their hands and knees and beg the music industry to give them a shot.

You realize they found success DURING the documentary, right? Read this next part very carefully: The documentary hadn't been released by the time the thousands of diehard fans in Japan showed up to see them. How exactly would this movie help them before anybody saw it? I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Anvil means more to metalheads than "josetrisan8646" means to anybody.

@@Jeremy252 that show was part of a three day festival though. You can't expect everyone there to be "die hard fans" , as opposed to people who just happened to be passing by waiting for other bands. What really gets me is the whole pitiful demeanor they adopted in the documentary to make viewers feel sorry for them. They came out with a genuine feeling of entitlement for recognition they don't deserve. It's very annoying to hear all the people in their crew saying that they deserve success. Deserve what? They've been a band for 40+ years and people never responded. Has anybody ever given YOU anything? This childish tendency to victimize yourself when you don't get what you want is really sickening. If this guy lips really love music he would be ok playing for his friends and family in their local town. Instead he is just this old entitled man child who has to put on a tantrum, even to the point of begging his crying sister for money to go record an album. He's craving for fame has consumed him comometely. Anyway... And as for your last sentence, yeah, nobody cares about me but at least I dont get on my hands and knees and beg the industry to give me a chance, pretending to be something I'm not.

Ok. Fair point. That show was part of a three day festival though. You can't expect everyone there to be "diehard fans", as opposed to random people who were just passing by waiting for other bands. Regardless of that show, however, what really gets me is their whole entitled persona as a band. It was really annoying to watch this and have to continuously listen to how they deserve recognition. Deserve what? Why should they deserve anything? Has anybody ever given YOU anything? Musicians are only as good as the music they create. They've been a band for 40+ years and people never responded. I think that speaks pretty much for itself. They created this self-victimizing documentary in order to make people feel sorry for them, which is lame. If this guy Lips really loved music he would be ok with playing music for his family and friends. Instead, he's just this big man-child who throws a tantrum because he wants to be a touring rockstar, even to the point of asking his broken/crying sister for money to record and album. They are not an example of success because they did not make anything out of merit, but rather pity. Anyway... And as for your last sentence, yeah, nobody cares about me, but at least I don't get on my hands and knees and ask anyone to grant me anything pretending to be something I'm not. @@Jeremy252
