Did any of you guys watch the BBC programme monday night about the Canadian outfit Anvil, hilarious, id watched 3/4 of it and i still couldnt decide whether it was Spinal Tap or "real" the amp setting of 11 and the megabust ups, love ins and stress releases all added to the mystery.

Awesome dudes ( or should that be man )

:lol:

I presume it's the Anvil docu released in NA last year?

Great movie, heart wrenching and honest.

Yeah could be, was about the making of their 13 album and mostly some bloke called "lips" and the drummer Rob Reiner.

It was pure grit and determination to carry on for so long, very much theatre, missing gigs, not getting paid etc etc, right at the end they played Tokyo to loads of screaming Japs and it made you glad for em.

Classic stuff.

Agreed, how they held on for so long to the dream is incredible. And for a wife to hang on as well? I liked the flick but really, after a while you can't help but wonder why anymore?

I've got an autographed DVD of their movie

And ever since I saw the movie, I've been a fan of their heavy metal music. How they kept going is a mystery to me, and that they kept finding the money to keep releasing cd's that nobody really knew about. Their story inspired me and has made them an influence on what I play on my Starcaster :wink:
