In the early seventies, when Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath ruled
the world, Steve "Lips" Kudlow and Robb Reiner, two young Jewish
boys from the northern suburbs of Toronto, vowed to rock together
forever. A decade later, their band Anvil released one of the
heaviest records in music history, "Metal on Metal," which
influenced a whole musical generation, including the
world-dominating bands Metallica, Slayer, and Anthrax. Yet while
these bands went on to sell millions of records, Anvil slipped
straight into obscurity.
Was it too much sex and drugs and not enough rock 'n' roll? Was
it the menagerie of pets that accompanied them on tour? Was it
Lips's penchant for using a dildo to play his guitar (with
integrity) and writing political songs like "Show Us Your T***"? Or
was it their uncanny knack for setting themselves on fi re whenever
a record company executive was watching? Now, almost thirty years
later, like a real-life Spinal Tap, these unlikely musical heroes
are still rocking, and still chasing their dream. Written in their
own words, "Anvil!: The Story of Anvil" charts the rise, fall, and
eventual triumph of two men whose indestructible friendship,
talent, and determination took them on a unique journey in the
world of rock. A bittersweet and frequently hilarious hymn to the
human spirit, played loud in power chords, it is a story of true
brotherly love, being a lifer, living the dream, and never giving
up.
