Yeah, that Anvil doc got a ton of praise at Sundance a short while back.

"Metal on Metal" is right up there with Razor's "Evil Invaders", as far as influencing a generation of Canadian metal fans in the 80s.

(BTW, were you actually hoping for more responses from non-Canadians? I can fuck off.)

Sundar, Friday, 1 February 2008 22:03 (sixteen years ago) link

Well I figured mostly Canadians would post.
But I wanted to find out some Canadian bands are highly popular worldwide.
Excluding the obvious.

(If you can't read the album title, it's "Stand Tall")

Jeff Treppel, Friday, 1 February 2008 22:11 (sixteen years ago) link

I'm not Canadian at all, and most of the posts in this thread are from me, so I wouldn't worry about it.

Jeff Treppel, Friday, 1 February 2008 22:12 (sixteen years ago) link

I just thought it would be fun to see what it was like to be Scott Seward.

Here's a classic Baz pic from his Toronto scenester days, from an old issue of Metallion:

What was supposed to go in the "one of the greatest Canadian metal albums of all Time" broken image, Adrien?

Jeff Treppel, Friday, 1 February 2008 22:24 (sixteen years ago) link

I hate hate cryptopsy mainly for the singer, and IF you could understand what he says, the lyrics also.

Oops, that's Simply Saucer's Cyborgs Revisited. An unbelievable album, part of which was recorded live on the roof of a Hamilton, Ont. shopping mall...and produced by Daniel Lanois.

Whoever sings on Once Was Not

All music calls it "an earth-shatteringly important record," but unfortunately it's going for between $40 and $70.

Jeff Treppel, Friday, 1 February 2008 22:29 (sixteen years ago) link

They had a rather interesting synth scene for a while:
Men Without Hats
Kon Kan
Anything Box

Get it? Get it?

Jeff Treppel, Friday, 1 February 2008 22:35 (sixteen years ago) link

Anything Box are from New Jersey. That's in the United States. Not Canada.

Jeff Treppel, Friday, 1 February 2008 22:37 (sixteen years ago) link

Yeah! Hat's are overrated.
The fashion accessory that is.
The band is kick ass.

Simply Saucer's out there for cheap, it was reissued by Sonic Unyon in 2003 or so. Well worth it!

A. Begrand, Friday, 1 February 2008 22:39 (sixteen years ago) link

So it was! I'll keep an eye out.

This thread is a lot of fun. Unearthing a lot of cool stuff. Who knew Canada was such a fertile country for ROCK?

Jeff Treppel, Friday, 1 February 2008 22:46 (sixteen years ago) link

I most certainly didn't!
Quite an eye-opener for me.
