the reason why they didnt make it is cuz theryre canadian. if you ask me. USA just really dont like canada, we support our own, no matter how good theyre, if your from a diffrent country its hard to gain american attention, unless its english, for obvious reasons..maiden, priest, shit like that...... like SCORPIONS, they were huge in Japan before ever being popular in america, alot of it had to with the Virgin Killers original album cover, which is absoloutley disturbing, if you havnt seen it.
i agree...they had good songs but not all...and to be honest lips isnt the best singer...his playing is great but metal on metal for instance, signing doesnt go with the playing
how can you say they didnt make it because they had songs that were just too average..... there are so many musicians who ARE making money or HAVE made money at one time off of shitty music. Like they said, it just depends on how lucky you are in that business.
the only reason they didnt make it they way they should have is like BonzerPilot said, the music industry. they recorded on a lot of indie labels and have had some bad management
..i just put my 3 young boys to bed..completed and tender and emailed it off and now I am going into my car and blowing my ear drums out to this going down the highway....yes honey just going to get some milk...Metal on Metal wasn't just an album for me but a way of life...fuck those days were great and man does time fly
yeah I rember when the metal scene was new bands like Slayer , avil, exodus, Venom, motor head , and it ment some thing to be a head banger . but the main streem tryed to kill the ''REAL'' metal bands and made it go further under ground . long live the proud!
Yeah, I can't understand it. I mean great melodies, genius lyrical content, and the best display of musicianship ever. Wierd dude. Really wierd. ANVIL!!!!!!
yes , old Anvil fans are very happy. I was into the first three but was also happily please in the 90's when they came out with Worth the Weight..Killer album. Bush Pig/ Infanticide.
It's so cool seeing Anvil being mentioned again. I used to look them up on the net over the years and the band didn't even have a website. Now by some miracle, a documentary is out and interest caught up. I was a young teen in the late 70's, and Anvil's first two albums defined who we were. I'll never forget these summer days listening to School Love, Mothra and all the rest with my friends. We really believed the band would reach worldwide status. These days are the best for old Anvil fans.
This is fun stuff. The early 80s metal before the spandex hair band thing perpetrated by
MTV ruined it all. I liked Exciter too. Raw Canadian proto thrash. I grew up in this time, the underground metal bands were mostly lower income kids high on imagination and energy. It was the real punk over here. I
t was genuine. It's naivete and simplicity is the best thing about it. I love it.
my cousin wrote and directed a movie about this band! it won the LA film festival!! I partied at his house in Hollywood Hills with the band and I stayed there for 5 nights!!! IT was so awesome! ANvil played live after their movie at the LA film festival. Lips (The lead singer) is so nice and Robbo is also really nice and same with G5
Saw them in the mid 80's while they were a bar band. They definitely were light years ahead of any other band. Those days were awesome, the "pretty boys bands" couldn't get a gig and Anvil would play in front of sold out crowds. Sadly MTV showed up and you know the rest. I hope we get to hear real music again soon.
Hard and Heavy F**king amazing the boys were unreal and Rob pounded the hell out of his drum kit the track is from the early self produced Lips album. They killed LIVE
hard and heavy was by far their best album with paint it black and bedroom game shredding awesome lead guitar solo,s this was as heavy as it got in those days, pretty mellow now compared to todays thrash metal.had all their albums liked everyone of em.
ANVIL RULE..
