Comment if you'd heard of Anvil BEFORE you heard about this movie


Tilte says it all. Just wanting to see how well known thwy actually were. I was only aware of them by name.

It's not easy having a good time. Even smiling makes my face ache.

I uses to listen to Anvil when I was in my teens along with all the other glorious trash metal of the time.

Hidyho!

I remember Anvil from back in the day, but only a couple of songs (Metal On Metal, Scenery, Back Waxed, Blood On The Ice, Toe Jam). I finally got around to seeing the documentary after several friends told me how good it was. I saw it on Netflix and after watching it I HAD to get the DVD. I found it online and downloaded the Metal On Metal album (yes, legally). Really wish I'd listened to them more back then, but like a previous poster, I get to seek out some "new" old bands and catch up on what I missed.

Buy this movie!

I have heard the band Anvil by name prior to the movie but never really listened to them until afterwards, I remember I wanted to get into them back in the early 2000s but didn't get around to buying their music

I heard of them back in the 80's after my friend showed me a taping he'd made of their "Mad Dog" video. I thought the song rocked and the video was hilarious. Unfortunately I didn't really follow them otherwise and hadn't thought about them until I heard about this documentary.

I heard of Anvil before the movie. I knew their song "Metal On Metal", they are Canadian, and had been around a long time.

I did, I saw their pic on a mag once

I heard of Anvil in the mid 90s, when i watched a MuchMusic special about history of Heavy Metal. After that got their first 3 albums.
