They cut off the part when Rob was handing over an Anvil T-shirt & CD to JD!
Great movie!
I'm looking forward to Anvil ruling the world!

Great interview but I wish John didn't say how the last concert turned out in the film. When I watched it, it gave me goosebumps all over my arms, I was speechless.
Great dream that came true.

This great band deserves a lot more recognition., We have
followed them for years. The movie was great.. One of the best
percussionists I have seen in my 75 years. I attended a recent
performance and I have never seen them perform better after
all these years.. GOOD LUCK BOYS.

WoW...I'm really not into heavy metal, but I'm an instant Anvil fan and supporter. These guys shows us what pursing the dream is all about. We should never give up hope because if we can make it through the night, there's a brighter day.

I was in struggling bands for only 15 years of my life & i swear this movie nails it !!!
I love the honesty that non-band member people get to see. This is way most bands struggle & succeed, going back 2 steps after stepping one forward.
There were so many real / goofy people & situations that made me laugh so hard it hurt. I have to admit i teared up a few times, the friendship between Lips & Robb reminded so much of my friendship with my bands lead guitarist / vocalist....

This movie / story is an Oscar nominee for sure in my book !!!

THANK YOU ANVIL !!!!!

Wingnuts of the week

What's a Wingnut? Someone on the far-right wing or far-left wing of American politics. In a polarized two-party system, they have disproportionate influence and too often define the terms of debate. With "Wingnuts of the Week," commentator John Avlon tries to take that power back.
