Anvil - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

The autobiography of two inspirational fifty-something rockers, still heroically following their dream after thirty years on the road. At age fourteen, Toronto school friends Steve Lips Kudlow and Robb Reiner made a pact to rock together forever. Forming their band Anvil they went on to become the demi-gods of Canadian metal, releasing one of the heaviest albums in metal history, 1982's Metal on Metal. The album influenced a musical generation including the world-dominating bands Metallica, Slayer and Anthrax, all of whom went on to sell millions of records. Anvil's career would take a different path, however, as they slipped straight into obscurity. Almost thirty years later, Lips and Robb, our unlikely musical heroes, are still chasing their dream. Anvil follows the ups and downs of their career and their volatile decades-long friendship, reveals their dedication and unadulterated passion for their music, and carries us along on their last-ditch quest for fame and fortune. Based on Sacha Gervasi's award-winning film of the same name, which appeared at the Edmonton International Film Festival 2008, and published to coincide with its worldwide release, this hilarious yet poignant book reminds us that if you believe in yourself, stick by your friends and never give up, you really can make your dreams come true.
