(Playlist) ANVIL ('81-'83)- In 40 Minutes

The first time I witnessed Anvil (twice in one night!) was at The Danforth Music Hall when they opened for Motorhead on their Ace of Spades tour. Lights went down and a mop-topped crazed guitarist ran through the crowd in full guitar-on-stun mode by way of introduction. They definitely got my attention ... so much so that I still call myself a fan some 44 years (and counting!) later. (In fact, this seasoned concert goer hasn't seen any other band as many times as I've taken in these Canuckleheads in a live setting.)

Here The Mighty Decibel curates the Canadian band's best 40 minutes from their first three classic albums for your listening and headbanging pleasure.
