With nothing much to do over the weekend and the TV also not helping, I stumbled upon this documentary called - The Story of Anvil. Anvil's a canadian heavy metal band which started waay back in the 1970s and never got their due. Its a heart-aching underdog story of a heavy metal band whose members truly epitomize the metal attitude. Its a struggling tale of Lips and Robb who never give up despite getting sh*t from everyone. The story starts off as them being a quintessential metal band of the 80s with loads of promise but they just die down because of poor management and straight up bad luck. Struggling through 30 years, they still go out in front of meagre crowds and perform just for the love of the music.Its fascinating just to see how positive these guys are and how strong they believe in themselves despite of the things that happened to them. There's this amazing scene where Lips breaks down saying "We are gonna get there. We are gonna f*cking do it. We're gonna be rockstars! Its our f*cking dream. I'm gonna make it come true!" An amazing feel-good inspiring movie.
