Anvil? Little town just down the road from Kvatch and Skingrad, on the coast?

Nice enough place. Pity what happened to their temple. Big mess. Very sad.

I am becoming fascinated by the misadventures and bad luck this band has suffered over the years. They shoulda been big... but it all went wrong. Seems now, however, things will turn for them in the twilight.

Who?

I've seen a lot of buzz about the film. I'll check it out when it comes out on DVD.

Watch the trailer. These guys could've been big, but everything bad that could've happened, did. Their album "Metal on Metal" is considered by some to be one of the greatest metal albums of the early 80's. They toured with the best bands in the world... but...

This is the real life "Spinal Tap".

:)

(It was sarcasm)

Oh man, this trailer was painful to watch. Pathetic and sad.

I wouldn't miss this for the world!!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean seriously, the drummer's name is Robb Reiner. Wtf.

I'm really looking forward to seeing this. The reviews have been fantastic.

No one at all knowledgeable in metal music thinks that.

That said, pretty much everything Anvil ever put out is above average to good in quality.

I just listened to some of their stuff on Rhapsody- ehh. Pretty generic 80's metal fare. Nuthin to write home about IMO.

Well, there are metal fans, and metal snobs, I suppose.

A Miller Light's fine for one guy, while others can't live without Fat Pirate Raspberry Tire Chocolate Ale.

Same thing.

Miller Light is ****ing terrible. Meanwhile, a craft beer as complex sounding as the made-up one you mentioned is probably awesome.

I'm not just speaking in metaphor, either. I'm a music "snob" and a beer "snob."

In the words of CM Punk, that makes me better than you. :D

I just watched it again. Showed up on VH1. The whole movie is a lesson in human nature. Two guys that have been jammin' together since they were 14, and now they're in their early fifties. They almost broke through in the 80's, but not quite.

There is agony after agony... but in the end... well, I won't ruin it for those who haven't seen it.

I saw this the other day. It was like I was watching Spinal Tap, but it was REAL! :doh!:

My Fav part was when he threw the owner of the bar in Prague up against the wall because he wasn't going to pay him for the gig.

The film is sad but hilarious.

It is like watching a 90 minute clip of sports cliche's all slung together with music being the key instead of scoring.

Watched it last month. Some funny, some sad, and some very heartwarming parts. Definitely see this movie.

Just watched this the other night. Painful in parts, you really feel for these guys but admire their persistence. Did they ever break through after this movie become popular?

So.....I've been listening to their stuff.
There were probably thousands of bands with better stuff. I think they're lucky that they got to do the shit that they did.
