    Journalist Dismisses SAXON Documentary As 'Coffee-Table Television At Best' - Mar. 20

    I can't say that I'm not surprised by this. I have to admit that I have fallen by the wayside for some years, but by reading the postings on this site, I can see that the passion is still there for you and I can fully appreciate your feelings when people start taking the piss out of this...

    Old knacker signing in...........

    The gig in Dortmund, was that the one that was a sort of indoors bike track. I saw them there in the mid 80's along with Whitesnake, Motorhead and a few other bands (think it was their version of Moster of Rock).

    SAXON's BIFF BYFORD To Publish Autobiography - Feb. 8, 2007

    just hope he lets bygones be bygones and we can celebrate the 30 or so years of the pioneers of NWOBHM. Of course he has to mention the split, just hope it doesn't end in another bun fight.

    World Record attempt - Update.

    I've kept my opinion quiet about this, as I was hoping it wouldn't fall flat on its face. It does beg the question, who's idea was this and did they research the potential outcome? Attempting an air guitar stunt at half time during a football match does not to me seem a sensible thing to do...

    When was your 1st time and was it good for you?

    I remember the knife gimmick (for Street Fighting Gang). Saw them on the Wheels tour (Dixie Land Showbar) supported by Lautrec. Still have the programme (milk is cool). This was when they had the Oldsmobile Regency for travelling around in.

    When was your 1st time and was it good for you?

    To be honest, I've been meaning to get this done for some time, so you've given me a good excuse to get my finger out and do something about it. Off to the loft to dig them out and then asking mates who's got a scanner. Watch this space

    When was your 1st time and was it good for you?

    I'll have to find someone with a scanner so I can get them loaded onto my PC. If and or when I can get sorted, I'll put a posting on this site. Cheers
