Who saw Anvil on Conan?

I watched their performance on FB thanks to a clip FF posted and I personally thought it was a tight and fun performance.

Maybe in 2009 it seems a little corny to some but even if I hated their music I admire their dedication and their spirit.

Thanks for posting the video. I missed it. Sounded great to me!!!

That's so cool the Conan had them on.

Yeah, it is. I wonder how that all came about? Does Conan have some kind of connection to those guys somehow? Is he an old metalhead???

it's because their documentary was being released this week and it has gotten quite a bit of notoriety.

Here's hoping the documentary is better.

I saw them. I thought it was great! KISS was on Letterman the same night so I watched them on youtube the next day.

I am glad these guys are getting some attention, but for sure they will never be considered as metal Gods, and I think they are not planing to achieve that. As Mentioned before here some comparisons with Spinal Tap. That should be a joke, since Spinal Tap sucks musically, rather than Anvil has some great albums on their career, even their last one is a good one.

Anvil has some very fast material. Robb Reiner is a monster drummer. Take a listen to the fast footwork of a song like Dr. Kevorkian or Park That Truck.

The guys in Spinal Tap can play rings around a lot of "real" bands IMO.

Yes, he is! I've seen him live and it's amazing to watch!
