Steve "Lips" Kudlow & Robb Reiner of the legendary metal band ANVIL join Jay Jay this week! Steve & Robb are currently celebrating the rerelease of their documentary 'Anvil! The Story of Anvil.' Steve & Robb discuss the documentary & their remarkable journey in music. This episode is a must listen for all metal fans.

ANVIL! THE STORY Of ANVIL follows Canadian heavy-metal band Anvil as they delivered a highly influential 1982 album Metal on Metal that would inspire the likes of Anthrax and Metallica, and then dropped off the map to begin what would become decades of toiling in obscurity. Director and former Anvil roadie Gervasi follows guitarist Steve "Lips" Kudlow and drummer Robb Reiner as they stumble through a harrowing European tour and reflect on failure, friendship, resilience and the will to follow even the most impossible of dreams. Check out the teaser HERE.

Featuring appearances by an array of heavy metal icons, including Metallica's Lars Ulrich, Guns N' Roses' Slash, Motörhead’s Lemmy, Anthrax's Scott Ian, and Slayer's Tom Araya, ANVIL! THE STORY OF ANVIL (2009) received widespread critical and public acclaim following its release. The film is tied for 6th place as one of the highest rated documentaries of all time on Rotten Tomatoes with a 98% certified fresh rating, and a 90% audience score with over 5000+ votes. It was named one of 2009's best documentaries by numerous film critics associations, including Chicago, San Francisco, Toronto, and Las Vegas, as well as the International Documentary Association, the Online Film Critics Society, and the National Society of Film Critics. It also made the year-end Top 10 lists in publications such as the New York Times, Washington Post, Newsweek, Village Voice, and many others.
