Oh mann, Metal on Metal. So i'm a poser unfortunatly and DIDNT know about Anvil till this whole movie buisness came out about them "Anvil: The story of Anvil" A touching story of the band Anvil and their journey over the past 30 years. They apparently inspired thrash metal and all sorts of shit but got all their ideas ripped off and have spent the past 30 years in relative obscurity. Now with the help of MTV2 and VH1 Classic they're being hyped even more than Guitar Hero: Metallica and hopfully are getting enough exposure to make it big. I believe they're going to tour with someone big eventually.
However their best song in my opinion is
METAL ON METAL, or maybe
MOTHRA or
666. You definatly get a feeling for how Spinal Tap one could see them as with the names of their songs, but I really just don't understand how they've lied in obscurity for THIRTY FUCKING YEARS??? Everyone claims they influenced Metallica and Slash said he liked them and all this shit on the commercial, but no one's said "HEY LETS TAKE THESE DUDES ON TOUR". The problem is they're cheesy as fuck. The live video i saw of them playing in 84' brought back images of
Stonehendge and dancing migits.
I guess you be the judge.
