Release Date: 27 March 2009 Genre: Documentary Cast: Steve (Lips) Kudlow and Robb Reiner Director: Sacha Gervasi Studio: VH1 Plot: At fourteen years old, best friends Lips and Robb Reiner made a pact to rock together forever. Their band Anvil, hailed as the demi-gods of Canadian metal, influenced a musical generation including Met­allica, Slayer and Anthrax. Though Anvil never made it, they never stopped playing or believing. Following a calamitous European tour, Lips and Robb, now well into their fifties, set off to record their thirteenth album, This is Thirteen, in one last attempt to fulfill their boyhood dream.

OMG, back in 1982 I worshiped Anvil like Gods and thought they were going to be rich HUGE rock stars. If someone had have told me back then that in 25 or so years Lips would be riding a BICYCLE to a mundane telemarketer's job, I would've looked at them like they had two heads! I hope this film gets Anvil their just desserts, they've certainly paid their dues.

I want to see this film i think i may even cry because I grew up listening to them and you know when you're a kid you really think of them as heroes and think they are invincible unknowing or what goes on behind the scenes I guess,they never really sold out either they were and still are a proud Heavy Metal band God,it just saddens me to think yeah sure they partied it up too but I truly feel they deserved and still deserve a lot more..

The documentary is excellent, also touching, one can really feel their pain. I feel bad for these guys who are genuine people & true musicians, I also admire their continuous dedication & persistence, wishing them all the success they truly deserve, rock on Anvil !!

Thats dumb that he has to telemarket for money! Man wtf Anvil is like one of the best bands in the freaking world and their singer/guitar player is telemarketing for money? Thats stupid! -_-

I cant wait till I see the movie, its gunna be great.

The movie is very, very worthwhile. The difficulty of telemarketing or preparing school meals and then being a rock god are such opposing worlds!
