Get To Know Matty C In 13 Music Docs

I run through a baker's dozen of my favorite music docs. Do you have a favorite?

Anvil! The Story Of Anvil (2008)

I don’t enjoy metal, but I love this doc about Canadian metal band, Anvil. The story centers around Steve “Lips” Kudlow and his bandmate Robb Reiner who make up the core of Anvil. We are witness to the band’s early heights, including co-headlining the 1984 Japanese Super Rock Festival with Bon Jovi, Scorpions, and Whitesnake who all went on to huge success. The film then jumps twenty years forward to a pair of fledgling friends trying to corral one last shot at rock and roll stardom.

The story is inspiring, desperate, harrowing and hilarious. Whether you dig heavy metal or not, it’s hard not to be charmed by the band, their friendship, and their own aspirations and doubts. If you want to know the truth, this is what rock and roll really looks like.
