I saw this band play at a bar in downtown Chicago over the weekend and I have to tell you they rocked harder than any band out there! Just the three of them got on stage and played like they were at a sold out Madison Square Garden! They earned my respect and I salute these hardcore mother fuckers!

The thing I admire about Anvil the most is that they never folded or changed despite being jerked around by record labels and hampered by financial struggles. They continued to make records and do tours above all this. They have also outlasted many more commercially successful bands who sold stacks of albums but no longer exist by the number of records to their discography and their sheer longevity. Can't wait for the new album coming this month!

Went to a Turnstile gig last night (April 24 in Austin) and couldn't believe I saw an Anvil flyer! I'm moving to Ft. Worth in 2 weeks so I'll drive an hour to see Anvil in Dallas.

One word : ANVIL!! 👄

METAL ON METAL !!! , please pass my chardonnay . Saw an ad for a local show and had to look it up and here we are . Still rolling in 2024 good on them .

In 1983 at 17 years old, 2 friends of mine had tickets for Zebra at the Palladium in NYC. I wasn't a big fan of them but they were okay and it was a night out. I had never heard of the band that opened for them and usually didn't pay much mind to opening bands anyway (bad move.) But they were so freakin' heavy! The song "Forged in Fire" was as heavy as it got! Keep in mind this was before some of the heavy bands came out. This song was heavier than Maiden or Priest songs because it was just so dark. Lip playing guitar with that vibrator was another attention getter. I've been an Anvil fan since.

There is something incredibly metal about the 747 landing while Lips is shredding out the main solo and then the guys chilling out backstage with refreshments etc. Just absolute prime raging Canadian Steel here. Also the main riff is the perfect example of the Phrygian Mode in action.

This is one hell of a Metal Anthem.

I met Anvil in the 80's when I was a teenager, then I stopped hear about this band for many years until I watched That Metal Show talking about the premiere of the documentary many years ago. Being a drummer in a rock band in the late 80's and early 90's in my country and my band fell apart, seeing the dedication, the most heroic effort and the love of these guys about they do, made my eyes watered when i watched the documentary. They deserve an award, they are one of the forerunners of Metal.

Saw them live in Orlando several years back and they still were awesome!

My Brother Jeff had this album in 1982 and was a BIG fan, he had an Anvil patch on his jacket next to his Judas Priest. He virtually promoted this song and band in CT before anyone new who they were. I love you brother and wish I could have been there when you made that choice. RIP Jeff.

I played at a show in Iowa at wildwood and these guys headlined probably my favorite set I've seen in a long time

This song and album was my anthem. Saw them live in '83, before Forged in Fire was out...METAL ON METAL!!!

Robb was and still is one hell of a drummer!

Even if you don't want to follow them musically, follow them in the sense of how they felt about music. They WOULD NOT give up even though they never became famous at all. They didn't give 2 shits if people didn't like them, they just wanted to keep playing tunes. I love Anvil and they are a pretty great example of dedication.

Canada's finest. Anvil's metal on metal was one of the first LP's I bought & one of the best. Love it. Especially when played super loud.
