Anvil! The Story Of Anvil sequel to bring about world peace, hopefully
The 2008 documentary Anvil! The Story Of Anvil reintroduced the world to the sadly forgotten, influential Canadian heavy metal band, and the world graciously said, “Welcome back” (that is, after some of it said, “Why is your drummer’s name Robb Reiner, and does that mean this is all some sort of Spinal Tap homage?). Now, to repay the world for its hospitality and helping Anvil overcome years of bitterness and stagnation, the band hopes to solve all of the world’s problems: Reiner and bandmate Steve “Lipps” Kudrow have announced plans for a sequel, Anvil 2: The Quest For World Peace, which will continue the mission first mounted by Superman. But rather than tossing all nuclear weapons into the sun or battling guys with evil fingernails, the members of Anvil have set the far more attainable goal of playing a concert in Israel—“in a No Man’s Land, like by the Wailing Wall,” Kudrow says, which, no, that’s not a very good idea. Perhaps pick another, more appropriate location for your heavy metal festival besides one of religion’s most sacred prayer and mourning sites, such as on the Pope’s face.
