I'm going to see Anvil January 12th, in Buffalo. Will I be able to get Lips autograph? Are they a good band live? I'm not familiar with their music at all.

You should expect to have a helluva lot of fun! Anvil are a whoop ass live act. I saw'em once years back and they blew the roof off the joint.

Expect a light show that rivals Pink Floyd with bombastic explosions and.........I can't lie. It will be 3 guys on a little stage with combo amps and duct taped wires.

...and a guy using a vibrator as a guitar slide during his solo.

Seriously, Lips does that. I've seen it. It was hilarious.

I read they are doing a signing at a Best Buy in my neck of the woods on the 17th. It might be cool to check out if time (ie wife) allows.

I'm in Philly and they are gonna be at a mall Best Buy out in the 'burbs. About a half hour away, I'd guess. Here's the story...

Quote :: Canadian metal legends ANVIL will take part in a signing session at the Oxford Valley Best Buy in Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania on January 17 between 1:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m.They will be signing copies of the "Anvil! The Story Of Anvil" DVD and "This Is Thirteen" CD. Items must be purchased at the Oxford Valley Best Buy the day of the show in order to be signed. There will also be a raffle set up in the store shortly to win an autographed guitar and two pairs of tickets for the show that evening at the Theater of the Living Arts in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

I saw them years ago and thought they were really bad. Their drummer is pretty good though.

Cool! I'd love to meet the band. I've been a hardcore fan since 84. I'd be taking a bunch of vinyl to get signed.

I may be able to see them when I am in New Orleans in two weeks. Need to go online and get the tix!!!!

I got to go to last night's show in CHarlotte and it was fantastic!!!! They played roughly about an hour and a half. I can't remember the set list in order but they kicked it off with March Of The Crabs with Lips coming right out in the audience. They played alot of my favorites like 666, School Love, Winged Assassins, Mothra, Forged In Fire, Mad Dog, Metal On Metal and set closer Jackhammer. They also played This Is Thirteen, Flying Blind and Thumb Hang from their latest cd. After the show was over the band came out and talked with the fans, took pics and signed stuff. I really enjoyed the show and think any other Anvil fan here would enjoy it as well.

I will see them in Germany the next July.

Someone told me that Anvil on stage today plays very bad, but I don't care, I Have to see them live one time in my life!

Administrator Number of posts : 19452 Age : 57

I'm sure they aren't the same band they were on stage in 1985, but like you, I don't care. I've been a diehard fan since I bought Metal on Metal as a new release. Can't wait to see them for the first time.

I agree with you.
I like Anvil because in my opinion they have a deep spirit underground in their musice/attitude.

Well, I saw them and it was the worst show I ever seen. Lips should not attempt falsetto vocals. My friend kept going out for smoke breaks outside,and he has asthma.The homeless guy outside was more entertaining. I thought Pantera was bad;Anvil was pathetic...WORST BAND EVER!!!!

I guess if you are unfamiliar with Anvil's music, seeing them now past their prime may not make you a fan.

I've read mixed reviews. It seems that some people are loving their live shows, others are hating it. I guess it's better to be loved and hated than thought of as mediocre and "generic". Wink
