Henry Northmore from List.co.uk spoke with Canuck metallers ANVIL about their documentary Anvil! The Story Of Anvil.
Of course comparisons with 1984’s This is Spinal Tap are inevitable: "If you make a documentary about a rock band it’s always going to be compared to 'the almighty',’ explains frontman Steve ‘Lips’ Kudlow. "Spinal Tap is so good because it copies reality, but this is real."
The film hasn’t even opened and already momentum is building. There’s an online petition to get Anvil to open Glastonbury, they are now working with SLAYER’s manager and COLDPLAY’s booker. "We’re coming into the summer of our career, it’s been a long, long winter but the sun’s gonna come out," says Kudlow. "This is the Rocky Balboa of heavy metal, people want to see us win the fight, I’ve been punching sides of beef for 30 years. The most important point is the ending of the movie is not the end, we’re writing that now."
