  • Did he say Choice Childrens Catering? Too funny, \m/

  • that sucks

  • i have seen them twice. They are AMAZING

  • Hell Yeah. Another documentary about a band I know nothing about. And probably no chance of releasing it in Poland. Cheers.

  • Any entrepreneur that ever thinks about giving up needs to watch this movie (it's on @netflix). They should show this in Business 101 classes. What to do/not do. Love these guys.

  • Definitely the most fucking amazing rock band doc in the fucking world, you guys are fucking amazing! You deserves the best!

    Metal on Metal! \,,/

  • see u guys at Metaltown 2011 Sweden! \m/

  • Anvil = Gods of Heavy Metal Spirit, I love this guys, Regards from Spain!!

  • Anvil Rules!!!!!

  • I love these guys Anvil!

  • Such an awesome movie, got it on DVD, a band well before it's time when they released metal on metal

  • I've just watched this film on the BBC in England and I loved it even though I'm not a metal fan. Respect to the band for sticking to their belief's. It's strange though because I'd had heard of Anvil and always thought they were a pretty big band until I saw this film. Good luck fella's and keep on rockin!

  • Loved this movie.. and i saw it for free at Full Movie World . com ... really great stuff.

  • Just saw that movie and it's great. The (REAL!) story of two good friends living for their dream. You definetely have to see this one!

  • ilove this movie

  • Go see this movie, even if you're not a metal fan.

  • They didn't make it, cause you can't make it in Canada, cause the Canadian music industry doesn't give a shit. Canadians have to leave Canada to make it and when you do, you come back some asshole sticks a mic in your face asking you about how great it is to be a successful Canadian Rocker, when the Canadian music industry did nothing at all for you. The Fans are what matter, fuck the rest.

  • @diamonddust22 amen to that. Even Rush had to leave Canada to get taken seriously and they're one of the greatest bands to ever come from Canada.

  • @lemmonorange68 Very true man, I can't wait to leave Canada for Europe. 

  • The only real music left is metal.

  • you sir, you win at life.

  • PureRebelM1ko thanks brother. When Anvil is in the world? We are all winners.

  • I've seen this movie yesterday in a sneak preview. I am totally not into metal and the first two minutes I was not sure whether to stay or to go. but actually it was a great documentary. I really enjoyed it. Perfect story, very "round" story telling...

    give it a shot...

  • The movie score is by David Norland. I could not find it on Itunes but here is a link to his website.

  • same fair plays to them for still going

    great movie man

  • what song does the ending solo belong to?

  • I hope this film wins an academy award! I was moved to tears and will be purchasing the film and their latest Album!

  • I LOVE THIS FILM

  • Just Saw This Movie On VH1 Classic...amazing movie...definitely go buy the DVD the day it comes out

  • came out last year

  • I saw this documentary this weekend and it is SO GOOD. I am so happy for their newfound success after working so hard all these years. They never sold out and they played true metal all this time!

    Anvil is on the Tonight Show October 6 for their network television debut!!! I hope they sell a zillion records!!!!

  • hey , wuts the song at 1:31? thanks (:

  • I am a soldier for Anvil! I'm going to see these guys make it if it's the last thing I do! \m/

  • What a fucking great movie. This is brilliant. GO SEE THIS. Much respect to these guys

  • I remember meeting these guys on the road in the late 70's

    I didn't get my break either....

    But good for them, getting one now, hopefully!

  • Ive got to give it to rob & lips they have stayed true! This shows the real hardship of being in a band!I hope the movie isn,t a parody of the band,because they had the goods!"FORGED IN FIRE"their third album(my favorite) was world class metal for it's time! produce by Chris Tsangaridis Thin Lizzy,Tygers of Pantang,JUDAS PRIEST'S" PAINKILLER"!Hopefully this movie brings them some recognition for so many years of dedication!

  • Oh, it has, man - they're opening for ACDC.

  • "That's dedication pal".... even if you don't like their music, their heart is undeniable- true rockers for sure

  • Absolutely undeniable.

    From age 14 to their 50's ... Lips & Robb Reiner pursuing their dream for over 36 years!

    THIRTY-SIX YEARS!!!

    I have nothing but the utmost respect for them. They didn't get their break when all the other bands in the 80's got theirs.

    Maybe, they finally get their due. I tell ya what, it's probably a helluva lot sweeter in their 50's than it would be in their 20's.

    You don't truly appreciate the summit ... unless you've worked your way up from the very bottom.

  • remind me the great Spinal Tap!!

  • Looks great, I can't really compare this to Iron Maiden's Flight 666 documentary as it up to this point is the best metal documentary I have seen. This one is more of a story about life.

  • cant wait to see them august 6 th ... its going to be insane along with ac dc!

  • what the last song they play?

  • whats it rated?

  • I believe it is rated R.

  • so so so fucking good.

  • whats it rated?

  • I just watched this. Wonderful documentary and a wonderful story. Bless the Japanese for being some of the finest, most underrated metal heads of all time. They always come out in force.

  • What's the name of the song in the background at 1:33? it's a strings piece. It's amazing movie trailer music!

  • To The Stars by Randy Edelman.

  • whats the song at 0:08 - 0:30? someone tell me please as it kicks ass

  • March of the Crabs, I think.

  • To The Stars by Randy Edelman.

  • fuckin love this band. they deserved to be placed up there within the ranks of Metallica and GNR and the Scorpions.

    btw, anyone know what song was playing at 2:08 ?

  • Its amongst the shadows by some Von dillon bloke or something.

    Absolutely awesome film, anyone that can be as dedicated as these guys deserve all they get. It makes you release how easy some of these manufactued bands get it these days.

  • Un documental increible

  • It is a superb film about friendship!! Saw this movie through the Secret Cinema and it was followed by a surprise live set by Anvil. I was always a closet metalhead...I'm so out now!

  • whats the song at 1:31-2:03

  • Best documentary I've seen for sure

  • Just saw this, it's incredible. It's not just about the band, it's about life and friendships with those you love....... Amazing.

  • Great movie!

  • Must see film...about Life...and much more...

    Great work...:) Always Sirtony

  • Can someone please tell me the song at the beginning of this trailer? It kicks so much assssssssSSSSSS!

  • game over off of this is thirteen

  • what is that intro song!!!!

    it sounds so sweet i must get it

    please tell me if u know it

    anvil rules!!!!!

  • This was the best documentary Ive ever seen.

  • Lemme correct! Anvil good and HOLLOWBODY FLYING VEE geetar good too, yes Lemme!?

  • I like the stuff they played in the trailer, to bad they missed the boat for so long. Maybe the buzz from this movie and all us youtubers will get help Anvil in a positive way

  • this trailer gave me chills

  • March of the crabs is the shit!! If you hav'nt heard it check it out, they have alot of other kickass songs as well,but that was one of the songs that caught my attention. also Bushpig is a jam too!

  • I saw this film last night based on one thing - 98% on RottenTomatoes. NOTHING gets 98%! I'm not into Metal at all - nothing wrong with it - it's just not my music. But I loved this film. I know so many hard working musicians, and I know that talent, hard work and dedication just aren't enough - luck, and being in the right place at the right time have a huge amount to do with it as well.

    I loved that the director was aware of Spinal Tap and had a few sly references (Hello Cleveland and 11).

  • man, this is real rock and roll

    one of those band that no one remind...

    and put on the road a legacy.....

  • whats the name of the song at 2:05

  • lissen to HOLLOWBODY FLYING VEE geetar!!!!!!! Lips make good sound yes?

  • I have the 1sr ANVIL LP still in it's cover. Back then I thought I was the only lucky and smartest Drummer to have an Anvil LP. No one Else did at that time!!!!!!

  • is it always in the cover or do you listen to it sometimes?

  • I remember these guys way back in like 1985.But i never heard their music. These guys deserve so much credit never giving up. I think we allstart out like that and slowly band members just give up and quit but this is truely for guys like me nd others who were left standing in the band when all others either quit or died. There is so much more to this movie than just a metal band,it's about having a passion for what you love to do and just doing it because,what else is there to do but that?

  • Best doc this year! (OK I ony saw a few)

  • great movie !

  • the trailers really inspiring. i cant wait to see it!

  • where can I see this movie right now? I'm blown away.

  • It's a GREAT movie, about a really genuine, hardworking bunch of guys that have a helluva lot more inspiration and guts than the vast majority of us. You come away from it really admiring what they do, even if it ain't your kind of music. A MUST SEE...if it's the last think you do. They'll be blowin' out the windows at the Academy Awards, I'm sure. I can't wait!

  • after 13 albums and misfortune they simply deserve a good price for their last album.

  • whats the song that starts at 2:03?

    Its driving me crazy

  • "amongst the shadows" by Dannel Vonn Dillon

  • haha i like the first like 10 seconds of this when the guy shakes his hair ! lol.

  • I'm no metal fan, but an old friend of mine loved this film and I've heard nothing but good things about it - I'm going to go see it tonight - good job boys!

  • whats this song called that they're playing during the trailer? I cant find it :[

  • Modeled after the Scorpions?

  • one of the best movies i have ever seen

  • agreed. great great movie I loved it....

    everything except lars. fuck lars.

  • It looks really sad...

  • GREAT HOLLOWBODY FLYING VEE!!!!!

  • I saw this the other day. It had the similar feel of Mickey Rourke's "The Wrestler". You get to see what happens to faded heroes.

  • That's great company to be in, thank you! Tell your friends to check us out, we are surviving on fan word of mouth. The "big" news guys have already moved on to new 'shiny things' and we want to keep on rocking for a loooong time!

  • Oh ya, I'll tell all my friends. It was a fantastic documentary and we're still metal heads at heart.

  • i'm 45....i was there.......i remember....i still have my Metal On Metal album sitting about 3 feet from me right now under my desk with my other 200+ metal albums from back then......noone was thrashing like you guys back then,you were always a part of my personal "metal Compliation" cassette tapes i would carry around,my band never made it either,but i still play,never cut my hair,and i still havent given up either...its in your blood or it isnt,period,you guys are the real deal,always were!!

  • What a shtty thing to say...

  • HEY MAN I HAVE HIGH RESPECT FOR PEOPLE who does that for a living! they can still make it someway! I have two words for you PAL! Trent Reznor! from NIN he did mop Toilets for a living! and bring Coffee to people at his early time but inside a music studio, very low paid until he had that one night to himself to record music for no reason and showed it to his boss AS A JANITOR! Anvil can do the same, anything is possible!

  • Comment removed

  • Yeah, but this movie is positive. The Wrestler broke your heart it was so down on being hardcore about your dreams. The guy dies trying for pete's sake.

    Anvil is uplifting and warm. You are so ready to keep the rock going after seeing this. The whole movie is a rock anthem.

  • Sorry kid, I thought about that just after I pressed the post button. Gettin old ya know.

  • Sorry, I turned out being the real douche =(

  • Great great great movie!

  • I just saw the movie last night in San Diego and Anvil played live after the movie! It totally rocked!

  • oh my god, that . solo b4 the end is so amazing.does any1 know the name???

  • Anyone know the rating of this movie (R, Pg-13, not rated)

  • It's not rated. There's some cussing if I remember right. (Shocker - haha)

  • Can anyone let me know what the song that starts at 0:08 is? Thanks.

  • See the Pink Wafers on youtube, can we have our royalties please. Mike.

  • Whats the tabs for 2:04 - 2:17 thanks

  • whats the solo song name

  • what is that freakn solo sombody answer me ha

  • Everbody needs a dream and a purpose in life,Anvil never got there due accolades.What pisses me off is those rockbands hating publicity and utograaphs,,ect. Hey Metallic,Kiss,Bon Jovi,Motley Crue,,all you bad asses help these guys out!???Take them out on tour to open for you. Damn it!!

  • Thank-you, Sacha, Steve & Robb for making this movie. You guys are so nice, a rarity in the business.

  • Man, you're the Alpha and Omega.

  • Shut the fuck up, I saw ALL those bands during the 80's and Anvil fuckin ROCKED live like nobody's business.

  • B freakin' S... Metal on Metal? Mothra? Forged in Fire? Trust me, when Priest was putting out crap like 'Parental Guidance' - these guys were putting out Backwaxed!

  • inspirational.....

  • If anyone can tell me the song from 2:04 - 2:17 thank you so much if you can

  • Saw the show tonight at the Metro, awesome stuff guys, keep it up!

  • Tonight in Chicago baby!!!

  • i heard them do and interview on liquid metal on serius and they said that dustin hoffman was bopping his head at one of the screenings

  • It's like Spinal Tap meets Flight of the Conchords meets The Wrestler, and I'm pretty sure that sounds like the greatest thing ever.

  • I aspire to be a failed Rock Star some day, with better teeth and skin than these guys.

  • man this movie is gonna make them bigger then they ever were

  • First the Wrestler with Mickey Rourke and now this...

    The Greek tragedy has returned to the mainstream, capturing the zeitgeist of 2009; providing us with a good cry as opposed to a bad cry.

    Only some of us will star the sky and only believers in death will die.

  • nice... well said.

  • wow.. this movie looks great!

  • I saw this at the Trocadero in Philly this week. The movie was amazing, the live performance was amazing, the Q&A session was amazing. I can't say that I knew alot of Anvil before...but after seeing this and speaking to these guys...i sincerely admire thier dedication and positive attitudes toward life and music. These may be the "realest" people i've ever met....EVER. They should be held as an inspiration to everyone out there.

  • saw this today. it was GREAT.

  • I wish that this film was playing around me, if it doesn't all get on DVD

  • I mean the song from 2:04 - 2:17 ...thanks

  • At the beginning of the clip, right after Slash speaks, what is the song that starts to play? The guitar riff is great.

  • Just saw the movie; it's great!

  • Seeing them in Philly tonite at the Troc!!!!

    Someone make a movie about Raven next!!!

  • Sweet! Life imitating art - This Is Spinal Tap parodied this movie before this movie ever existed!

    I used to work with a guy who's band open for Poison or Whitesnake or somebody up on Sault Ste. Marie (Ontario Canada) back in the day... I wonder how many stories there are like this one?

  • Looks very intriguing.

  • If anyone can tell me the song from 2:04 - 2:17 thank you so much if you can

  • hi "NHLWWEUFCNFL"

    have anybody answer your question??? do you know which songpart of anvil this is?thanks , lilly

  • I NEED TO KNOW AS WELL

  • Can't wait to have it in Mexico!

  • What, Spinal Tap? What the fuck?

  • Hey if Ronnie James Dio can play Metal and tour past the age (67) when most of his peers are ready for rocking chairs, then why not Anvil achieving some success in when they are in their 50's. As the title of an AC/DC song from the 70's said "Its a Long Way to the Top (If you Want to Rock and Roll)" ; In Anvil's case 30+ years long.

  • what a movie... holy crap, this is awesome!

  • Is there a name to the last track being played at the end of the trailer?

  • Looks great , I hope it shows in OHIO Theaters , if not , looking foward to buying it on DVD
