I recall seeing Saxon on the Crusader tour at Birmingham Odeon, and they had a band called "Battle-Axe" supporting them. Afterwards, the bell went in the bar and the auditorium filled up, the lights dimmed, curtain up and...................<paaaarp> there stood a second support band called...

Another Gibson Flying V here too - a 1979 Tobacco Sunburst. And a Gibson Explorer same year, same finish Also: 1986 San Dimas-made Jackson Custom Shop Strat - Snakeskin graphic (my fave!!) 1986 San Dimas-made Jackson Custom Shop Dinky Strat. (Fire engine red) 1997 Jackson Firebird (Mint...

"Budweiser - The Beer of Kings" - Slogan from Czech brewery. "Budweiser - The King of Beers" - Slogan from A/Busch. Hmmm, probably a coincidence! One is a real pilsner, brewed in the time-honoured way, the other is made with rice. RICE???!!! WTF is all that about????!!!!:yuk: Ooh, and did...

You miss the point, it is not the fact that he didn't pay the fines, it will be the fact he has a criminal record. Anyone trying to enter the US who has ANY criminal conviction flags up as an "undesirable", as does anyone HIV+, or registered drug addicts (I believe they have only just relaxed...

Well, at least she has a fitting surname!

That is the funniest thing I have heard for a long while. I wonder if he is in his shed spraying his latest vinyl LPs gold to hang on his wall, and waiting for the phone to ring about the reunion tour? PMSL, bless him! Oh yeah, "Saxon" - "Stallions..." and "Backs to the Wall", fantastic!!!!

Whoooooooooaaaa!!! There might be some great pics in there but there are also some SERIOUSLY dodgy ones too! I mean, take a look at the second one along the top row - Biff looks a. Very unlike Biff. b. Very erm, well, um, y'know........"light on his feet". Thank God he has aged well!!! (Unlike...

"The Ballad of Jimi Hendrix" by SOD (All 3 seconds of it) LOL

Back when I was 19 I bought a female black and white hooded rat, for what reason I have absolutely no idea. Because zero thought had gone into this, and because my mother would have had a screaming shit-fit, I had neglected to buy a cage, so for the first couple of nights she slept in a box, and...

So where do you folks find out "What's On"? Is there a decent on-line gig guide which encompasses all-sorts of upcoming rock/metal shows? I'm missing out!!!!!!!!

Alas no! He is actually a well-respected and talented sound engineer. We were just talking shop during a show, discussing what juicy jobs we had done/were doing. When he mentioned he had worked with the mighty Saxon he suddenly became my hero, LOL. To be fair, he didn't actually say that the...

Dunno about the kit Biff uses, but I did talk to a chap some years ago who, I think, was Saxon's monitor engineer. He told me that there been problems eliminating an annoying whistle during gigs, something to do with the vocals. Eventually, after much investigation, it was discovered that the...

....and pissing off some of their old ones who were expecting to see them again shortly, and who may read something into Motorheid's final comment.

"Did you listen to the radio, every Friday night?" - Denim & Leather Of course we did. My favourite Tommy story is of the Radio 1 team trying to get the Donington crowd to chant "Rock with Tommy Vance", only the only thing they ended up recording was 60 000 people chanting "Tommy is a...

Crusader, without a doubt is my favourite Saxon track. The solo never fails to send a shiver down my spine, the whole thing just puts a great big grin on my face. All in all, this track IS a classic. The album however, isn't particularly outstanding. It's OK, but not quite as good as TP&TG...
