Anvil - Mothra - Guitar Cover

Anvil - Mothra - Guitar Cover

From Metal On Metal, the second studio album from Anvil, released in April 1982. Classic early heavy metal that doesn't get the recognition it should, IMO. Also an early production work by Chris Tsangarides (RIP), well known for his work with Priest, Thin Lizzy, and many others.

Anvil were rather popular in metal circles back in those days, though, and a number of cover bands in my area played their songs. I was fortunate enough to see them on tour for the follow-up to this record, Forged In Fire, on a co-headlining tour with Talas. Anyone familiar with the Godzilla-verse will know what this one's about - basically, a giant moth. Also known in Japanese culture as a "Kaiju". Although there's a lot more to her legend than that.

Standard tuning.

I'm doing these cover videos purely for my own enjoyment - while I write for several upcoming planned projects that should hopefully take form this year. Thought I'd share for anyone interested. I figure them out by ear, so any mistakes are solely my own. I think they're mostly right. Cheers.
