Synopsis

At 14, best friends Robb Reiner and Lips made a pact to rock together forever. Their band, Anvil, hailed as the "demi-gods of Canadian metal, " influenced a musical generation that includes Metallica, Slayer, and Anthrax, despite never hitting the big time. Following a calamitous European tour, Lips and Robb, now in their fifties, set off to record their 13th album in one last attempt to fulfill their boyhood dreams. –IMDb

Two words: Thumb hang. But seriously, pair this with the docu Young at Heart and you won't necessarily hope you die before you get old.

ok documentary I guess, but come on, do you really expect me to care or feel sorry for 2 looser-ish characters bordering on 100 years who can't get their s*** together ? why ? because they acted badass a while ago and made 40 albums which sound the same ?

Good documentary. Predictably quite sad(trying to reclaim their 15 mins of fame for decades on end, and failing . )

This is a wonderful and very moving documentary about actual artists. Not those shitbags you'll see in the papers or on tv. It is also a documentary proving that the music industry is fucked. ... and I didn't cry because it was sad. I cried because I had the feeling that I might end up like these guys. Which is great and very depressing at the same time.
