Lick My Love Pump, eh?

(occasional DJ Laure graces us with this one)

Last week at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah, the surprise hit was a music documentary called ANVIL! THE STORY OF ANVIL, the story of which can be summed up as “Spinal Tap in Real Life” (Stonehenge even makes an appearance). Anvil, who die-hard late-80s metal fans (and possibly no one else) will recall as precursors to Megadeth and Slayer (and contemporaries of the Scorpions and Whitesnake), never “made it” like many of their peers and acolytes- yet they have soldiered on, playing the rawk for 35 years. What happened? Is it just, as several interviewees suggest, the obvious problem that they are Canadian? The band, having been passed over yet again by major labels, despite a record produced by Chris Tsangarides, is self-distributing their new album This Is Thirteen. Check out the film to find out how many hankies a real metal band needs to make a record- Metallica has nothing on these guys.

hahaha... i'll admit to walking around my 'hood, w/ a head full of dirtweed & this crankin' on my walkman.

oh, to be 13/14 again. good times!

Metal on metal
It's what I crave
The louder the better
I'll turn in my grave

Metal on metal
Ears start to bleed
Cranking it up
Fulfilling my need

Metal on metal
Shakin the place
Blows back your hair
Caves in your face

Metal on metal
Feeling the grind
Up go the hammers
A victim to find

Metal on metal
Heads start to bang
Denim and leathers
Chains that clang

[ Lyrics found at www.mp3lyrics.org/crk ]
Keep on rockin
Keep on rockin
To this metal tonight
Keep on pounding
Keep on pounding
Join the heavy
metal fight

Metal on metal
Gets you so high
Excitement and action
Won't pass you by

Metal on metal
The hardened breed
True to the end
A fire to feed

Metal on metal
Heat starts to rise
Kickin it out
With screams and cries

Metal on metal
Never will die
Parties and concerts
Keep it alive

Metal on metal
It's the only way
To hell with tomorrow
Let's live for today
