Rocking With Rob Reiner Of Anvil In Toronto
Post by Robert Campbell on Apr 07, 2009
On Friday April 3rd, 2009 Rob Campbell was in the right place at the right time to rock out with Rob Reiner, the drummer of Anvil. There I was strolling through the movie theatre lobby when i spotted the rock legend holding court at the base of the escalators. He was surrounded by some attractive leather clad, middle aged groupies with big hair.
Anvil: The Story of Anvil
At fourteen years old, best friends Steve Lips Kudrow and Robb Reiner made a pact to rock together forever. Their band Anvil, hailed as the “demi-gods of Canadian metal,” influenced a musical generation including Metallica, Slayer and Anthrax. Though Anvil never made it, they never stopped playing or believing. Following a calamitous European tour, Lips and Robb, now well into their fifties, set off to record their thirteenth album, “This is Thirteen,” in one last attempt to fulfill their boyhood dream.
