I absolutely love these guys...They're so inspiring, all heart and soul.I have the utmost respect for what they do...Thank you Lips, whenever I need a little pickme up and hope I look around youtube for you. You're more than a musician, your positive spirit is just amazing. Rock on fellows, you deserve all the good things coming to you.

Passion for music kept them going for 30+ years.

Even with all the shit they got the music kept them going,buy the docu.

They should have been bigger then Metallica.

i feel 4 these guys .ive watched the film and just finished readin the book..its obvious they did hav sum bad luck, but at 1 point they were on the verge of real success and then it just faded out , theres nothin more tragic than a lost dream ..regardles of how good the recent albums are supposed 2 be .their still past 50 and makin no real money from their music..they live 4 the music they make ,thats clear 2 c but they must both still hav a deep pain in the hearts that they didnt "make it"

[vandaahl1965]

I was a big fan in the 80's...lost sight of them later...saw this doc. and totally like ém again....I am 46 years old, one kid...still love metal and still have an acient tattoo of Anvil on my shoulder since the beginning of the 80's.......I love these guys...they are the real deal...:-) And I am fuckin' happy for them, they now get the success they deserve for years.....well done Anvil...:-)
