Lips of ANVIL - Exclusive Interview

Interview w/ Lips of ANVIL
August 4, 2009


WLM: Lips you are on with JB Martell, Vince Steele, and Heavy Metal Momma of welovemetal.com. How are things going

Lips: Amazing! In one word amazing. Miraculous in another word. (laughs)

WLM: Were just a Metal site that doesn't claim to be anything but fans that write for fans. We are based in the Maritimes Canada and the Metal scene has exploded out here on the East Coast, so were pretty honoured to talk to you because you documentary is a big reason why people are starting to get back into Metal.

Lips: I'm really glad to hear you say that. I hoped it would be and if its perceived as being that way then I guess some more of my hopes have come to pass.

WLM: We know your very busy but we have a couple of questions for you if you have time

Lips: Sure

WLM: A sort of off the wall questions, but what is a question you would like to be asked that has never been asked of you

Lips: I don't think there's any questions left.

WLM: So you've had quite a few then and had to answer them all. (laughter)

Lips: Literally thousands and thousands of questions.

WLM: In the documentary Lips you are very passionate and emotional and it appears to us you are really like that. Is that what your like in real life

Lips: Its extraordinarily accurate, the only thing that is edited is most of my despair. You know what I mean, they got rid of some of the negative side. The side that is in constant worry. The level of worry is not always depicted but is extremely prevalent in real life. But in every other aspect is extremely accurate with the stuff that really happened.

WLM: What kind of music have you guys been listening to Is there anything new that you have tried

Lips: I generally live in my own little world where I listen to the same music over and over again. Its pretty much what you grew up with and that's in everyone. Every once in a while something newer creeps in. You drive in your car and listen to the radio, but to me there is only two kinds of music, good and bad. Its doesn't even matter which genre it is, if its something that catches my ear, well… it caught my ear.

Also meeting some of these big bands and celebrities has led me to be inquisitive enough to try to find out who and what they do. Once such example would be Chris Martin...
