Anvil's Story: A Long & Grinding Road to Realize Dreams of Metal Stardom

(10/5/09) Anvil founding members Steve "Lips" Kudlow and Robb Reiner remark on their improbable second chance at Heavy Metal fame and maybe a little fortune.

The band's emergence from obscurity has come after the well-received documentary, "Anvil! The Story of Anvil" told of their struggle and unwillingness to give up on a dream of greater success, even as the odds and advancing years were against them.

Corporate assholes don't know shit about music. All they know about is selling little plastic disks. They don't know shit about music. They control music and brainwash the public into beleiving the shit they push out is good, like Britney and Ashley Simpson while real artists with actual talent don't get shit. That's what is so good about Anvil. They defied the odds and rose to the top despite being ignored by EVERY record comany out there! Now look at them! Fuck the record companies!

when they said opening for the biggest metal band on earth, a band that isnt metal is not what i was hoping for. i was expecting iron maiden or something

Why is it that G5 isn't too well interviewed as Lips and Robbo? He's been in the band for more than 10 years now

Record companys wouldn't sign them up...

Shows you what the fucking corporate assholes know about music.
