Anvil/Osaka,Japan 2010

Thanks to the hit movie “Anvil! Men Who Can’t Give Up on Their Dreams,” ANVIL in 2010 made its name known to the general public. An original recording that allows you to experience the best of their performance in Japan is now available. This work is recorded on “April 21, 2010: Shinsaibashi Club Quattro Performance.” It is a superb audience recording. Speaking of “Men Who Can’t Give Up on Their Dreams,” the surprise gig at the preview screening has become legendary, but that was in 2009. This work is a record of the solo Japan tour that was realized after that. First, let’s look back at the schedule at that time. April 14th “Anvil! “Men Who Can’t Give Up on Their Dreams” DVD Released April 18th: STAGE-1 (In-store event) April 19th: Shibuya Club Quattro April 20th: Shibuya Club Quattro April 21st: Shinsaibashi Club Quattro ←★This work★ April 22nd: Hiroshima Club Quattro All four performances + α. In fact, this was a visit to Japan to coincide with the release of the DVD of the movie “Men Who Can’t Give Up on Their Dreams”, and an in-store event was also held in Tokyo. The main part of the tour was a style of visiting Club Quattro in various places, and this work is a live album recorded at the Osaka performance. This work recorded at such a show is a superb product with “super”. After all, it was handled by Mr. “Western Japan’s Strongest Taper”, who is familiar to us. When it comes to recording HR/HM, he is one of the best in Japan… no, he is a master of masters who boasts outstanding skills worldwide. Moreover, this work is a special grade even in that “strongest” collection. There is no sense of distance in the thick core, and the guitar, bass, and vocals are completely intimately attached. If you listen to it microscopically with headphones, you can smell the sense of space in the sound of the snare, but it’s so good that you get the illusion that they’re all lined up on the stage. It’s a transcendent sound that goes “like a soundboard,” including cheers that are farther away than the sound of the performance. He is a master at recording with the best sound in all situations, from huge venues to small live houses, but his true talent is in clubs. He is particularly familiar with the clubs of Western Japan (as the name suggests), and this work shows his amazing skills to the fullest. The thick, rough sound depicts the full show of ANVIL, which brought about the times. Let’s organize the set here. METAL ON METAL (5 songs) March Of The Crabs / 666 / Mothra / Metal On Metal / Jackhammer Other classics (4 songs) HARD ‘N’ HEAVY: School Love FORGED IN FIRE: Winged Assassins / Forged In Fire STRENGTH OF STEEL: Mad Dog After that (4 songs) STILL GOING STRONG: White Rhino THIS IS THIRTEEN: This Is Thirteen / Flying Blind / Thumb Hang … and so on. The classics of the 80’s are concentrated and reduced, centering on the masterpiece “METAL ON METAL”. The latest work at the time, “THIS IS THIRTEEN”, which was also featured in the movie, is also sprinkled on it. And the performance that spells such a set is full of spirit. They are full of spirit to enjoy their era that has finally arrived, and yet they do not collapse like young people. In the movie, Lars praised Rob’s drumming, but the drum solo in this album seems to prove that those words were not just polite words. The world of that movie unfolds right before your eyes. And the MC gives a sense of the era in an unexpected place. Looking back on his memories of seeing BLACK SABBATH in Toronto in 1977, he talks about Ozzy, who was drunk on stage with a bottle of whiskey, and Geezer, who played amazingly. At the same time, he also mentions Ronnie, saying, “I’m fighting cancer, but I believe he’ll come back.” Unfortunately, Ronnie will pass away 25 days after this film, but even though he has a premonition of such a future, the scent of an unknown era wafts from the speakers. ANVIL, who stuck to his clumsy beliefs and achieved success in an unexpected way. This is an original recording that allows you to experience the full show that was realized in such an era. This is not a soundtrack but a (super cool) live album, but as expected, many famous scenes flash back and warm your heart. A super-class audience recording of the “Shinsaibashi Club Quattro performance on April 21, 2010”. This is an original recording by our familiar “Western Japan’s Strongest Taper”, and there is no sense of distance in the extremely thick core, and the guitar, bass, and vocals are completely in close contact. It is a superb sound that goes “like a sound board”, including cheers that are farther away than the performance sound. The show is centered on the masterpiece “METAL ON METAL”, and is a concentrated and reduced version of the classics of the 80s, and is also sprinkled with the “THIS IS THIRTEEN” song that was featured in the movie. It is a super-realistic live album that flashes back to the famous scenes of the movie.
