TIME STAMPS: Hawt or Nawt (16:30), C.A.R Metallica (25:55), MAIN EVENT (51:40)

 

Hello listening friends we're back with another god damn long episode (we try to make them shorter but we fail). On todays Main Event we watched the 2008 rockumentary (dumb word) on Canada's underground heavy metal darling's ANVIL!!!! With the documentary "Anvil! The Story of Anvil". But before we start reviewing that mess of a band, your hosts James and Edward for the cold open talk about disasters at the work place with yuppie coworkers and playing a live set with major equipment malfunctions (good rants here people). Then to start the show proper~

 

HAWT OR NAWT:

• for this week Mr. Hawtornawt sent us a high energy trap track by the artist Gameboy Jones with their song "REV IT UP"
• was the song HAWT OR NAWT?
• was the song nerd cringe?!?!

CLASSIC ALBUM REVIEW:

• we're still on the Metallica journey as this week we reviewed 2008 "Death Magnetic"
• some say this record was their comeback album or return to classic form, we have some disagreements on that statement
• but how does this record compare to that classics? listen to our (un)professional takes

MAIN EVENT:

• for this week we review the critically acclaimed 2008 documentary "Anvil! The Story of Anvil"
• listen as we figure why a band like Anvil never made it big for the 1980s heavy metal scene
• some have speculated this documentary is fake on how satirical it seems but nope this is a wacky bunch of delusional rockers
• does Anvil finally get there big break? only one way to find out

Rad show as always, enjoy friends~!
