ANVIL frontman Steve "Lips" Kudlow is featured in a new interview with WeeklyDig.com correspondent Dave Wedge. An excerpt is available below:

Q: Any regrets about not joining MOTÖRHEAD back when you were asked, in 1983?

Lips: "What's the point in wondering about something you never did? I don't waste my time thinking about things like that. Do I regret not being in Motörhead? No. I'm in Anvil."

Q: Do you have any resentment toward other '80s metal bands who made it while you guys struggled?

Lips: "I never questioned it, never was bitter about it, didn't care. We never tailored our music to be that way. To me, that kind of success is asking for big kinds of trouble. It ends all your freedom to do what you want because everyone is riding your back to make money off of you. That's not fun. Watch the Lars [Ulrich] interview [in the documentary] and he'll tell you all about it. He says I've probably had a better time than he has, and he's probably right. I've never had a head of a record label telling me to write a song for the radio. I've done what I've wanted, when I've wanted to and how I've wanted."

There's more Anvil tour news. Originally, The Anvil Experience concerts were going to open with a screening of the Anvil! The Story of Anvil documentary followed by the band playing a live set. However, according to Anvil's guitarist/vocalist Steve "Lips" Kudlow, "We've been so fortunate with the success of the film and then the DVD, so many people have already seen it, so we've decided that this tour is going to be all about the music, we're just going to play our set, and just rock with the fans. The Anvil Experience will be an evening of pure, unadulterated rock'n'roll. Local bands will open the shows.

The 27-date concert tour - the band's first major tour in more than a decade - is in support of Anvil! The Story of Anvil, as well as the band's latest album, This Is Thirteen which one rock critic called "Anvil's "best record in over two decades."
