I wouldn't go as far as claiming Anvil did much of anything groundbreaking. They were and are very much a heavy party rock/metal type band. I wouldn't go anywhere near mentioning them in the same breath as Sabbath, Thin Lizzy or Rush. While Anvil aren't bad musicians, there's no way I can say Anvil tunes like "Tag Team Matches" or "The Apartment" rank up there with immortal classics like Lizzy's "Emerald" or Sabbath's "Into the Void. As for paving the way for thrash, I'd have to point more towards Diamond Head, Angel Witch, Venom and Motorhead. Since my post was just an email copied and pasted on the blog by Dan, it wasn't meant to be an enormous history of metal. Just a rambling rant. Thera,

I think there is a conspiracy going on here, godammit! I neglected MANY bands there, not just Bedemon. This thing was conceived as a reply to an email, so it's just kinda cursory. My Bedemon/Pentagram feature ran in three different mags. Has anyone else ever interviewed Randy Palmer? I'm curious. I don't think so... Moxy, not Moxie.

And no mention about Randy Palmer's dark as fuck BEDEMON. And yes, all of those dinosaur bands are sooo unmetal as well as you are. Go listen some Lamb of God, Children of Bodom and Bullet for my Vallentine. Those are TRUE metal! :D:D:D Hey Perry that’s a great post, though you just mentioned one of the heaviest acts: The almighty PENTAGRAM. And no mention about Randy Palmer’s dark as fuck BEDEMON.

Don't think i've met many if any who share your knowledge and love for classic metal and rock. Fuck them. Fuck them in their stupid arses. Always enjoy your ramblin my friend. RAMBLE ON!

Max Webster is not bad at all. Geddy Lee had a guest spot even! I'm more partial to Rush, Moxie and A Foot in Cold Water. More hosers, eh? How 'bout Trooper? LOL "Roller Rink" has to be one of the funniest hard rock tunes of all time. I like my share of early April Wine and early Triumph as well. A bit of Pat Travers. Hawk!
