Loved Anvil cheese n all since 1984. One of the most fun, rockin live shows i've ever seen. Lips got on top of our table in the middle of the room & rocked with that great big grin of his. Out of the hundreds of shows I've been to, one of the best nights ever had. Hands down Metal on Metal & Forged in fire are two of my most beloved albums & Badass rock N roll got my head moving. If you like what your doing keep going guys, my thumb will always be up for you.
I admire their persistence and tenacity. They are doing what they love and not bending the knee to anyone........They made their choice and living it, breathing it and doing what ever they can do to keep working at it. Bravo!!! Cheesy or not its still rock.
I totally agree... Not my absolute favorite band, but they believe in what they are doing and love their fans. If any band have given more than 100% of their energy, rock'n'roll and love for their fans, it must be Anvil and I give 100% love back to them for that. Let that Anvil forever cling with that Metal sound! Metal on Metal is the deal!
Still love these guys 🤟 after all these years. I remember seeing them for the first time and that was it for me 👍. Look forward to many more years of ANVIL!
These dudes worked their asses off and should have been among the titans but for some reason they just did not get huge. It's great seeing them still fucking working hard to accomplish their dreams. \m/ ANVIL!
now your talking. they did and still do work their asses off. right on dude. these things on here showing no respect for them. wtf do they know? i was at some of their concerts was a great time.
Rick Blais There is a great reason for it, its called Sharon Osborne. You do realize that she attempted to take control of Randy Rhoads's estate right? Or that in 02 she rerecorded the bass, and drum tracks on Blizzard and Diary, while still billing it as the original recording so she didnt have to pay Lee or Bob? I suggest you dig deeper into it man.
Bad Ass Drummer. Watch Robbo do a half stick twirl in between snares. That is somebody who has played so much over the years that he had to come up with something else to do to keep from getting bored. Robbo is a Great Drummer.
They've influenced more metal bands than most would like to say. I personally think that they're great at what they do! It's just good old fashioned Heavy Metal! Some call them boring and terrible, I call them ANVIL!
Always wanted to see them live, Ithink these guys deserve to be in the rock n roll hall of fame. Hardest working band. Every album they have has been great. They should have been huge, because they are one of the first for thrash metal. Horns up to you Anvil.
I really hope that all is going well for these guys since the Anvil documentary came out. This is a kick ass new song! It shows that they've still got alot more quality music left to give all of us Metal fans!
yes the Anvil documentary really helped Anvil big time man. I have a Canadian website called www.themetalpit.net & I interviewed lead singer/guitarist Steve 'Lips' Kudrow & we had a really great conversation about a lot of stuff with the music industry. He truly believes in his music & doesn't care what the mainstream is all about, he writes music that he wants to write & let's the other things take care of themselves. I don't know if you've seen the documentary but in the movie Lips & drummer Robb Reiner go to a huge record company here in Canada & the guy puts in their recent demo tape & you could immediately tell the guy didn't dig it or even listen to it for that matter to give it an honest listen. He just wants that modern sound or one hit wonder song & the look on Lips face said it all when that guy just put the demo tape in & the guy barely listens to it & shuts it off. But i gotta give Lips credit man, that dude doesn't give up & has a Heart of Gold!! & I'm proud to say their Canadian like myself.

I listening this again and again and again and again and I can't get enough of this!
Damn this song instantly makes me think of The Beastmaster movie. Thats what I see in my head. Keep on keeping on Anvil. You should see their tours dates this year...jeez they just dont sleep!
"Bad ass rocking roll, a window to your soul". They had to be pulling our collective legs with lyrics like that...out-leveling everybody from day one...
I sort of feel bad for him. He could’ve ripped it up with any of the bands that hit big. The problem seems to be that he’s kind of loopy and got caught up in lips’ perennial mediocrity. Don’t get me wrong, lips is a great riff writer but man....his singing and those lyrics. Fuck me running, those lyrics. Why no one tackled him and dragged him out of the studio when “having fun is our goal” happened is completely beyond me.
This douche “Lips” (stupid fucking name) and his juvenile lyrics is the reason why Rob never made it . I saw the documentary, and it was just sad. These guys are way too old to keep trying to be “rock and roll stars”. When you’re still broke and unsigned after this latest....whatever you call it, maybe it’s time to hang it up, and get real jobs.
Anvil were always sub-par. The only reason why they temporarily made it in the 80's was because they were first and they were outrageous. Everyone else got inspired by them and released better music so Anvil got completely forgotten by the metal community. I mean, not even their hits were hit quality compared to the other metal bands of the 80's. Also, the fact that they self-published their albums for 20 years with crap quality didn't help either. Rob could've been at the top of the world right now. He could be one of the greatest metal drummers both in skill and stature. If Lips could put his ego aside and have Anvil get a proper metal singer and they actually exercised proper quality control they could be great.
when i was a kid i found one of their cds at a flea market never been open. i listened to it as i got home and my pops and i have been fans ever since. Metal on Metal as always! lml,
Went and Anvil on a whim in March 2017 in Houston; less than 2 dozen people in attendance so I guess that documentary the band starred in still hasn't brought them a large audience. Despite that they still put on a pretty good live show for the few of us in attendance and I would recommend checking them out live if you are a metal fan at all next time they come to town. Lead vocalist and guitarist Steve "Lips" Kudlow has some pretty good stage raps and a good sense of humor. Good stories about touring with Lemmy from Motorhead.
OMG. Just came across this video. Truly one of the original True Metal Bands. Fuck, I might be in my late 50’s but damn this shit still sounds good! Not bad for a group of old dudes. Saw these guys with The Rods and Def Lepard, when Lepard was heavier, Lol, and Heaven. ROCk ON!
I feel like i have been living under a rock for 30 years b/c i just saw the documentary yesterday and no one had ever mentioned this band, like, ever??? Wow!!
Love it. Been to a concert in Hamburg this month. Didn't expect much, boy, was I wrong. Fucking awesome. Superb live act, they love to play and you can feel it. A glorious 10minute solo from Rob, epic. The realy got me. Go and watch the show
Keep up, stay that way, remind us the time we were all heard that music with that attitude. Never Forget who u are, Remind us who we were, thnx for all. Thumbs up!
the best music experience i've ever gone through ... ANVIL... NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE GET IT, BUT THE ONES THAT CONNECT WITH QUALITY ROCK/METAL WILL FUCKN' UNDERSTAND ANVIL
Bought one of their albums years ago when I was young. Was not into them. They had some nice riffs but passed on them. This song and some others from their most recent album I will spend my money on!
You got that right Craig. I'm Canadian & they were a HUGE part in my musical up bringing.As well as other great Canadian bands like Annihilator,Sacrifice,Killer Dwarfs,Dayglo Abortions,The Tea Party,I Mother Earth,Razor,Voivod,Monster Voodoo Machine,among many others.
george kemp:Heck ya before that movie came out I've heard countless musicians mention Anvil as there up bringing as what they listened to. Lemmy of Motorhëad said he's always been a fan of Anvil,Lars Ulrich,Slash. Just because the movie came out & obviously put them on the map FINALLY doesn't mean that musicians all over the world & fans of metal didn't listen to Anvil or appreciate them. Even in the 90's i would see Anvil t-shirts in the crowd & fans & musicians mention Anvil as a favourite of there's.

I was brought here because of Canadian storage wars I'm Mexican and never heard of this band and I love rock and metal i heard about almost to every music from pink floyd all the way to Motley Crew but this band kicks ass In going to add them to my play list
These boys are a few years younger than my dad so I showed it to him....he loved it! Clearly they ain't old, writing BANGERS like this. It put a smile on my dad's face....you can be a bad ass MF'er no matter your demographic!
Like the title of the song says: Badass Rock&Roll. Great video clip, classy drummer, talented front man, good metal band! Underrated? Who cares? The music & sound they create is what counts. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.
lips may not be the best lyricist or singer but those riffs while no one can really come up with 100% original riffs in this subgenre i really think his tone and riffs are really good
Fuckin' awesome!! Superb riff, and i love the production on this. I watched the last third of the 'This Is Anvil' movie as it was shown on tv here in the UK last night (i have the dvd already), and as usual, i got tearful. It moves me, the passion and love that Lips & Robb have for the band and each other. TRUE friends! Such nice, honest, down-to-earth, gentle souls. Lips, in particular, is such a sweetheart. What's not to love! And they really can fuckin' play! The band deserves to be more successful than they are. They are easily as good as a lot of bands who made it 'big' over the years, and even better than a lot of the others(!!) So never stop rockin,' Guys. You love it, we love it... just keep on keepin' on. Anvil fucking rocks... \m/ (:o)
The music business can be cuthroat-no doubt. I am fans of these guys, I am a 51 year old metal fan from San Antonio TX, and I had "Metal On Metal" when I was a kid. A sad fact is that they will probably never see the recognition they deserve, the music industry prefers younger bands it seems. It is all about marketing, and 90% or more of the total people worldwide who buy cd's are under the age of 25. So it is easier for the record companies to sell a band of fresh young faces than it is to sell an album of older men, yeah it sucks, but that is the way it is.
