Concert Review: Anvil, San Francisco, CA, The Fillmore, 02-06-10 (Saturday)<\/p>\n


Anvil reminds me of Levi\u2019s jeans and Twinkies, brands that have weathered a sea of trends.\u00a0 Regardless of current music and clothing trends, Steve \u201cLips\u201d Kudlow (\u201cSK\u201d) plays and wears what he desires with a carefree dismissal of whether he is hip or fashionable.\u00a0 Any doubt about SK\u2019s disinterest in musical trends is laid to rest by comparing Anvil\u2019s first two records, Hard \u2018N\u2019 Heavy (1981) and Metal on Metal (1982), with Anvil\u2019s latest record, This is Thirteen (2007).\u00a0 These records sound similar.\u00a0 Any doubt about SK\u2019s carefree attitude about clothing trends is laid to rest by his appearance.\u00a0 SK continues to wear the metal head regalia that came to prominence in the early 1980\u2019s, sneakers, snug fitting black jean pants, rock t-shirt, and denim jacket with optional sheepskin interior lining.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, February 6, 2010, Anvil played The Fillmore in San Francisco.\u00a0 Anvil played 13 songs during an 83-minute set from 9:22 to 10:45.\u00a0 The festivities, or more appropriately, metalities, are discussed in greater detail below.

1. March of the Crabs \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 (Metal on Metal record, 1982) was the first of four songs Anvil performed off Metal on Metal, an instrumental that clocks in at over 2:30 seconds.\u00a0 I admire Anvil for having the confidence to play an instrumental as the opening song.\u00a0 Most bands would not venture to perform an instrumental song, particularly as the set opener, because it leaves them \u201cexposed and naked.\u201d\u00a0 [Neither alarms SK.\u00a0 After all, SK displays his family jewels in \u201cAnvil! The Story of Anvil\u201d documentary (2009).]\u00a0 The lack of vocals that otherwise adds a layer to the musical canvas means musicians have to be confident in their musicianship to rely solely on their instrument playing skills.\u00a0 SK masterfully ran off a battery of riffs on his battle scarred, black flying V guitar, one of two that has comprised his arsenal for at least 21 years, while Glenn Gyorffy (aka Glenn Five\/G5) (\u201cG5\u201d) played a maroon five-string Gibson Thunderbird bass.<\/p>\n

2. 666 (Metal on Metal, 1982) is a powerful, fast paced song clearly demonstrating the band\u2019s thrash roots and why Metallica, Slayer, and Anthrax cite Anvil as an influence.\u00a0 At the conclusion of the song SK displayed the sign language version of the song title, his open right hand displaying five digits and his left hand displaying, what else, the middle finger.

3. School Love (Hard \u2018N\u2019 Heavy, 1981).\u00a0 Before School Love SK said, \u201cWe are so lucky to play at this venue.\u201d\u00a0 SK wore a black muscle shirt with the phrase, \u201cfreaken eh\u201d printed in white and red lettering on his chest, black jean pants, studded belt, white sneakers, and a black sweatband on his right arm.\u00a0 Anvil launched into School Love, a song with a catchy chorus and verse.\u00a0 This is a fairly light rock song, Anvil\u2019s lightest in an otherwise heavy set.

4. Winged Assassins (Forged in Fire, 1983).\u00a0 SK introduced the next song as \u201can anti war song.\u201d\u00a0 Robb Reiner (\u201cRR\u201d) started the punishing song by subjecting his floor toms to some heavy handed beating.\u00a0 RR wore a black snap button leather vest, long sleeve black cotton shirt, black jeans, and a black bandana atop his head.\u00a0 RR played a black colored ddrum drum set with double bass drums featuring the Anvil logo and lightning bolts in each bass drum head along with the word \u201cRobb\u201d in one drum head and \u201cReiner\u201d in the other.\u00a0 Winged Assassins has an Iron Maidenesque quality to it.\u00a0 After SK\u2019s solo, RR and G5 provided rollicking drum beats and bass lines, with G5 spreading his legs and using his fingers to nimbly pluck his bass strings without a pick a la Steve Harris (Iron Maiden bassist).\u00a0 [G5 looked as if he was stretching for a heavy duty sumo wrestling session.\u00a0 I anticipated seeing G5 take his pants off to reveal a white mawashi (i.e., cloth worn to cover the private area), clap his hands, stomp his feet, and throw salt over his shoulders.]

5. This Is Thirteen (This is Thirteen, 2007).\u00a0 Before This Is Thirteen SK said, \u201cI do not fit your typical rocker stereotype.\u00a0 I am a music fan.\u00a0 It sucks when musicians do not come out and meet their fans.\u00a0 After the show I want to meet everyone.\u00a0 You have been to my house.\u00a0 You know my mother\u201d [referring to scenes from \u201cAnvil! The Story of Anvil\u201d documentary].\u00a0 I felt bad for the fans who paid the additional money above and beyond the $17 face value ticket price for a pre show chance to meet the band, including obtaining a copy of This is Thirteen, \u201cAnvil! The Story of Anvil\u201d DVD and Anvil fanny pack.\u00a0 However, judging from SK\u2019s graciousness and friendliness when I met him, he likely would have reached in his pants pocket and refunded the money requested by any disgruntled fan.\u00a0 [Given RR\u2019s onscreen penchant to casually smoke marijuana as if sucking on tic tacs, it is safer for SK to perform this task because RR may inadvertently pull out a roach in lieu of currency, and not of the insect variety.]

Anvil performed This is Thirteen, the first of three songs off This is Thirteen, a song with an eerie vibe featuring a straightforward introductory drum beat by RR and a plodding chord progression by SK reminiscent of Black Sabbath.\u00a0 This is a powerful song with an evil tinge.\u00a0 [The song is so dark and brooding I thought SK would come out on stage dressed in a hooded cloak worn by the grim reaper or The Emperor from George Lucas\u2019s science fiction film, \u201cThe Return of the Jedi\u201d (1983), light a candelabra, and summon spirits using a ouija board.]\u00a0 During SK\u2019s guitar solo, G5 went back to RR\u2019s drum set and placed his foot on the one foot high black-colored drum riser.\u00a0 G5 wore a black t-shirt with the phrase, \u201cDirt Bag\u201d printed in grey letters on his chest, black jean pants (with two chains extending from his belt loop to his back pocket), studded belt, green Converse sneakers, and green sweatbands.\u00a0\u00a0

6. Mothra (Metal on Metal, 1982) is an up tempo song with a chugging riff.\u00a0 SK\u2019s voice struggled during the first verse, but was then in fine form.\u00a0 SK effortlessly played a guitar solo.\u00a0 [SK played with such fluidity he would have been able to crochet while wailing on his flying V.]\u00a0 G5 periodically used his right fist to slam on the body of his bass.\u00a0

Following SK\u2019s guitar solo, SK played power chords galore.\u00a0 RR played three drum beats on his floor toms after which SK and G5 stopped playing.\u00a0 SK lifted his guitar to his mouth and repeatedly shouted \u201cyeah\u201d into the guitar pickups, using them as a makeshift microphone.\u00a0 Interestingly, SK\u2019s voice reverberated through his guitar amplifiers in a muffled tone prompting the audience to shout \u201cyeah\u201d back.<\/p>\n

SK pulled out his weapon of choice, a silver dildo from his right rear pants pocket.\u00a0 With a sly grin from ear to ear, SK held his trademark weapon in the air, basking in the moment as the dildo shimmered in the spotlight.\u00a0 [SK held the dildo with such pride and poise he looked like the final runner in the Olympic torch relay given the noble task of running to the cauldron placed atop a grand staircase and using the torch, in this case a dildo, to signify the commencement of the Olympic Games.]\u00a0 SK sat on a stage monitor stage front, gripped the dildo with might in his left hand, much as he has done for at least 26 years, and ran it up and down his guitar neck, substituting the dildo for a guitar slide.\u00a0 SK switched the dildo to his right hand, demonstrating his dexterity as he tapped the dildo on his guitar strings while strumming chords with his left hand.\u00a0 Some of the audience members had a mesmerized look on their face, akin to the look on the faces of those who witnessed Jimi Hendrix light his Fender Stratocaster guitar on fire at London\u2019s Astoria club (03 31 67) and the Monterey International Pop Festival (06 18 67).\u00a0 True, SK\u2019s antics are not as earth shattering as Hendrix\u2019s, but how many guitarists are able to captivate an audience by playing a guitar with a fake penis?!

SK got up from the stage monitor and returned his weapon (i.e., dildo) to its holster (i.e., rear pants pocket).\u00a0 SK played a two-minute guitar solo that included a chugging chord progression he played progressively slower.\u00a0 I would have omitted this latter solo as the highlight was the solo with the dildo.\u00a0 The subsequent solo caused the song to drag a bit and took away the momentum created by witnessing SK a man play a guitar with a prosthetic penis.\u00a0 At the end of the song SK went back to the four guitar amplifiers located at the rear of stage left for guitar feedback a la Ritchie Blackmore (former Deep Purple and Rainbow guitarist).<\/p>\n

7. Flying Blind (This is Thirteen, 2007).\u00a0 Before Flying Blind SK said, \u201cI am glad to be alive guys!\u201d\u00a0 [The joy and enthusiasm contained in the intonation in SK\u2019s voice and expression on his face were patently clear.\u00a0 SK\u2019s sincerity was as obvious as the stench of manure at a rodeo and beer at a fraternity keg party.]\u00a0 SK asked, \u201cHave any of you ever been on a blind date?\u00a0 I got blisters!\u201d\u00a0 SK\u2019s jovial nature demonstrated his sense of humor and ability to connect with the audience on a personal level.\u00a0 This natural ability is partially responsible for Anvil\u2019s newfound success and ability to maintain a devoted fan base since 1978.\u00a0 Admittedly, Paul Stanley (Kiss lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist) used a similar catch line when asked by a journalist to describe his firs sexual experience during the Australian leg of Kiss\u2019s Unmasked tour (1980).\u00a0 Paul quipped, \u201cI got hand blisters.\u201d\u00a0 Regardless, like a classic Rodney Dangerfield joke, SK\u2019s joke was still effective.

The band performed Flying Blind, an up tempo song with a country tinge and \u201cshuffle\u201d feel.\u00a0 G5 impressively played a black 12 string bass, his picking fingers nimbly moving across the strings with great speed akin to Tom Araya (Slayer bassist) flailing away the frenetic bass lines to Slayer\u2019s Hell Awaits from the Hell Awaits record (1985).\u00a0 It was impressive to see a metal band pull off such a song, but it did not quite fit in with the rest of the set.\u00a0 [I expected to see Garth Brooks stomp on stage with his 10 gallon cowboy hat and begin line dancing with SK and G5.]<\/p>\n

8. Thumb Hang (This is Thirteen, 2009 (re-release)).\u00a0 Before Thumb Hang, SK caught a black bra in mid air and mounted it on his microphone stand as if proudly displaying his trophy.\u00a0 [Given the gargantuan size of the bra I was surprised the stand did not sway like the Leaning Tower of Pisa.]\u00a0 After regaining his arm strength from mounting his enormous prize, SK paid homage to one of his heroes, Ronnie James Dio (Black Sabbath and Dio vocalist).\u00a0 \u201cEver since I was a kid I listened to Black Sabbath.\u00a0 Forty years later I am still a kid and still listen to Black Sabbath.\u00a0 I got to know the guys in Black Sabbath because Anvil opened for them.\u00a0 Ronnie James Dio is home undergoing chemotherapy.\u00a0 He is beating the [stomach] cancer.\u201d\u00a0 The audience enthusiastically clapped.\u00a0 SK introduced Thumb Hang as a song \u201cinspired by the boys\u201d (i.e., Black Sabbath).

Thumb Hang begins as a slow tempo song with plenty of \u201caah\u201d \u201caahs,\u201d and, approximately 90 seconds into the song, shifts to a fast tempo followed by a fiery SK guitar solo on his flying V accompanied by G5 on his maroon Gibson Thunderbird bass.\u00a0 After SK\u2019s solo, the tempo resumed a slow pace.\u00a0 Anvil was wise to add this strong rocker as a bonus track to the version of This is Thirteen re released by VH1 Records in 2009.<\/p>\n

9. White Rhino (Still Going Strong, 2002).\u00a0 Before White Rhino, SK said, \u201cIt is time to recharge.\u201d\u00a0 SK unplugged the guitar cord from his guitar so he could switch to his other axe.\u00a0 Before plugging the cord into his second guitar, SK inserted the cord into his mouth, much like a sword swallower.\u00a0 When the metal end of the chord struck SK\u2019s tongue it created crackling and feedback in his amplifiers.\u00a0 SK jokingly pointed to his mouth and said, \u201cThis is my new guitar!\u00a0 [In such a case, SK could add \u201cLoudmouth\u201d as another nickname.]\u00a0 I have been friends with Robb since 1973.\u00a0 Nothing makes him happier and to smile than to hear the crowd.\u201d\u00a0 The audience roared as the spotlight shined on RR.\u00a0 RR stood up behind his massive drum set, displaying a beaming smile, something that, by RR\u2019s own admission, he does not often do.<\/p>\n

Anvil performed White Rhino, the second instrumental of the set and the only song from the 1988 to 2006 time period.\u00a0 My admiration for Anvil grew further.\u00a0 Most bands would not dare perform one instrumental song, much less two.\u00a0 Anvil could care less about convention.\u00a0 [SK would rather raise his middle finger right before launching into whatever song his heart desired, be it an instrumental, a polka tune, or a waltz where he decides to embrace RR and gracefully dance across the stage in a flowing sequin dress.]

White Rhino is an up tempo song with a thrash feel.\u00a0 RR delivered a solid drum beat with drum fills for flavor.\u00a0 G5 pounded away on his bass\u2019s body.\u00a0 SK got on his knees and burned on his flying V.\u00a0 White Rhino included a two-minute RR drum solo during which G5 left the stage.\u00a0 However, SK maintained a nondescript presence in the rear of the stage by his amplifiers tuning his guitar.\u00a0 After he was done tuning, SK walked within a few feet of RR\u2019s drum riser and intently watched and listened to RR\u2019s impressive solo with admiration and glee, refusing to take his eyes of his metal brethren since high school.\u00a0 When RR struck the last beats on his snare drum and floor tom, SK clenched his fist signaling that RR had \u201cnailed it.\u201d\u00a0 SK exclaimed, \u201cHow amazing is that!\u00a0 Robb Reiner rocks man!\u00a0 No.\u00a0 San Francisco rocks man!\u201d

10. Mad Dog (Strength of Steel, 1987).\u00a0 Before Mad Dog, a song for which Anvil recorded a music video that received a fair amount of air play on MTV\u2019s \u201cHeadbangers Ball,\u201d SK said, \u201cI used to own a bulldog named Beast.\u00a0 Beast liked strangers.\u00a0 He would mount them and ride!\u201d\u00a0 SK told a brief story about how he sold Beast to an unsuspecting girl in a pet store.\u00a0 \u201cI wrote a song about my bulldog.\u00a0 It is called Mad Dog.\u201d\u00a0 Mad Dog is an up tempo song with a catchy chorus and chugging riff.\u00a0 At the end of the song SK shouted, \u201cSan Francisco, I am just a mad mad dog!\u201d<\/p>\n

11. Forged in Fire (Forged in Fire, 1983) features a wicked riff and ominous guitar trill (i.e., rapid alternation of two adjacent tones).\u00a0 G5 played his 12 string bass.\u00a0 During the mid section of the song G5 and SK approached each other center stage, stood within a few feet of each other and jammed.\u00a0 Forged in Fire, along with This Is Thirteen, were undeniably the heaviest songs Anvil performed.\u00a0 These songs celebrate what is metal in its purest form, loud power chords and drum beats that hit the listener in the gut with such force he is left breathless.

12. Metal on Metal (Metal on Metal, 1982).\u00a0 SK introduced Metal on Metal as the \u201clast song for you.\u201d\u00a0 Metal on Metal is prominently featured in \u201cAnvil! The Story of Anvil\u201d documentary and features a catchy chord progression.\u00a0 Following SK\u2019s solo, SK and G5 raised their hands above their heads and clapped, encouraging the audience to follow suit.\u00a0 As the stage lights shined into the crowd, I looked back at the audience from front row and was pleased to see the 1,200 seat theater approximately 75 percent full, a much healthier turn out than the handful of fans in attendance at Anvil\u2019s Munich, Germany show captured on \u201cAnvil! The Story of Anvil.\u201d\u00a0 At the end of the song SK said, \u201cSan Francisco, I had a magnificent night.\u00a0 Thank you and god bless.\u201d\u00a0 The band left the stage at 10:40 and returned in one minute to play one additional song.<\/p>\n

13. Jackhammer (Backwaxed, 1985).\u00a0 SK resumed his entertaining storytelling ritual.\u00a0 \u201cI used to share a hotel room with our [former] bass player.\u00a0 He was a ladies man.\u00a0 One night he brought a sleazy lady to the hotel room.\u00a0 I woke up and she asked if she could do me!\u00a0 Her name was Jonah but I called her Jackhammer.\u201d\u00a0 Jackhammer, along with 666, were the fastest songs of the night featuring a frenetic guitar chord progression and guitar solo.\u00a0 SK sang the verses and chorus in rapid (i.e., \u201cjackhammer\u201d) fashion.\u00a0 Jackhammer was an excellent choice to close the set.

At 10:45 the band took a bow ending the metal onslaught.\u00a0 SK came up to the microphone for one last time and said, \u201cGive me five to 10 minutes to towel off, and I will come out and meet each and every one of you who hangs out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Two flashback memories are worthy of mention.\u00a0 First, I recall seeing guitar maestro Yngwie Malmsteen perform at The Independent (\u201cTI\u201d) club in San Francisco on November 9, 2005.\u00a0 In contrast to SK\u2019s minimal stage gear comprised of four mid size guitar amplifiers for a 1,200 seat theater, Yngwie elected to place 14, yes 14, 100 watt Marshall amplifiers and Marshall heads on the tiny stage of the 375 seat club.\u00a0 After I reached front row at TI and observed the mountain of Marshalls within 20 feet of me, I began to salivate at the impending audio onslaught.\u00a0 I knew one strum of a power chord by Yngwie on his Fender Stratocaster would reduce my teeth to fine enamel dust.\u00a0 Upon closer inspection I realized Yngwie only had one of the 14 Marshall amplifiers and heads turned on.\u00a0 In contrast, SK did not feel a need for visual deception.\u00a0 Four road weary, mid size guitar amplifiers sufficed for a venue three times as large as TI.

Second, the bewildered look on SK\u2019s face when we met and he first took a gander at my karakul hat (i.e., hat made from sheep fur) and cherry red Dr. Martens combat boots reminded me of the look on the faces of airport security officials.\u00a0 SK certainly had no ill intentions because he demonstrated bewilderment, not suspicion.\u00a0 Regardless, SK\u2019s prolonged stare brought back fond memories of the \u201cspecial treatment\u201d I receive at airports, dating back to the 1980\u2019s, long before the heightened security implemented after the unfortunate September 11th terrorist attacks.\u00a0 The special treatment is a fun way for me to keep myself amused during boring trips to the airport.<\/p>\n

I recall one occasion in July 1991 where I gave my older brother and his then wife a ride to the airport.\u00a0 The lovely newlyweds were in a relaxed state looking forward to a pleasant Florida honeymoon.\u00a0 My brother stood at the airline ticket counter.\u00a0 I stood approximately 10 feet behind my brother.\u00a0 In my periphery I noticed a security guard donning a plastic badge staring at me.\u00a0 I got bored and decided to entertain myself at the security guard\u2019s expense.\u00a0 I started flashing glances at the guard with an insane look in my eyes, similar to the one Jack Nicholson flashed as he chopped through the bathroom door in Stanley Kubrick\u2019s psychological horror film, \u201cThe Shining\u201d (1980).\u00a0 After the third gaze, I noticed the guard getting uneasy, whispering something to his colleagues via his walkie talkie shoulder speaker.\u00a0 The guard walked toward me, prompting me to non chalantly walk up next my brother positioned between the guard and me.\u00a0 The guard sternly said to my brother, \u201cWhere are you traveling to?\u00a0 Let me see your passport.\u201d\u00a0 My brother, who has a thinner skin for differential treatment and was oblivious to the mental stamina test I subjected the guard to, became infuriated and shouted, \u201cI am only going to Florida!\u00a0 Why would I be carrying my passport!\u00a0 What do you want with my passport!\u201d\u00a0 [My brother\u2019s complexion morphed so quickly I thought he was a chameleon trying to blend with a bed of deep red roses.]\u00a0 The guard, who was now joined by two of his colleagues, thereby comprising The Three Stooges, passively nodded, ignoring my brother\u2019s tirade, and repeated, \u201cJust let me see your passport.\u201d\u00a0 I gently tugged on my brother\u2019s shirt and, with a feeble attempt to control my laughter, whispered the pre interrogation events to him.\u00a0 My brother rolled his eyes and, with a stern frown and beads of perspiration on his glistening forehead stated, \u201cCan\u2019t you ever behave?!\u201d

Venue: The Fillmore (\u201cTF\u201d) is a historic San Francisco theater that, in the mid 1960s, under the direction of legendary late Bay Area rock promoter Bill Graham, was the site of psychedelic and rock music and counterculture.\u00a0 TF\u2019s early days featured acts such as Led Zeppelin, The Who, Pink Floyd, Cream, The Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix Experience, and The Doors.\u00a0 TF is a 1,200 seat capacity venue with a standing room floor similar to an oversized dance hall.\u00a0 Positioned above the floor are 10 chandeliers.\u00a0 The second floor contains a bar and box seats, specifically, six box seats stage right and another two, along with the mixing room, across the stage.
Opening Band: Attitude Adjustment.
