Anvil: The Story of Anvil

Watch Anvil: The Story of Anvil

I saw this movie a while ago on an airplane. Amazing.

This is the story of the greatest metal band that never made it. With interviews with guys like Slash, Lemmy, Metallica, and other metal greats, the evidence is clear on how good these guys were. But why didn't they make it? With great albums like Hard and Heavy, Metal on Metal, Forged in Fire, Worth the Weight, Absolutely No Alternatives, no one actually knows.

It really hit me when the lead singer was shown working at his job delivering food to elementary schools in the frozen tundra of the Greater Toronto Area. These guys went from superstars to below average. As the documentary goes by, you'll start to love these guys more and more. Seriously, check this out.
