I really wish I had seen Anvil: The Story of Anvil before the success of the documentary, and then the band, ruined the central emotional element of the film: that these lovable Canadians keep trying even though they'll never get their due.

Either way, it's totes heartwarming that they have:

Anvil, the Canadian heavy metal band that spent more than 30 years in near obscurity before the documentary about its struggles became a surprise hit, is getting the ultimate rock and roll salute this summer. AC/DC, arguably the most successful hard rock band in history, has personally selected Anvil as the sole support act for two arena shows -- July 28 at Gillette Stadium in Boston and July 31 at Giants Stadium in New Jersey.

You have to hand it to these guys for not giving up.
