Mickey Mouse Saxon alert!!!!!

[Black Lagoon]

They've only gone and got the Dio support slot ain't they!
(The Oliver Dawson Saxon in case your wondering)

 

[Twisted Tony]

Wonder if Ronnie knows it ain't the real Saxon!!!

 

[saxon747]

Unlikely, as when we tried to get Biomechanical the support - we were told a "big" UK Metal act had the gig(??????????)

Still waiting to hear who this metal act is!

 

[Heart Collector]

I hope there will be some sort of mass booing whilst they are on!

 

[CONQUISTADOR]

We saw ther oliver\dawson version in Lochgelly in Scotland about 30 months ago and they were o.k. They really should change their name to something else though as they dont resemble Saxon of old (or new). They were like a good quality tribute band playing a few classic songs with half a dozen of their own numbers thrown in for good measure.:Spam:

 

[Lord S]

hmmmmmmmm that'll be weird if it happens

 

[Black Lagoon]

It is true. Check out the gig listing on there home page.
They did a load of support dates with Dio before and apparently they are good friends.

 

[Paxoman]

Maybe Ronnie doesn't realise that this 'big UK metal act' isn't actually the real Saxon, and he actually thinks that Saxon ARE playing. The annoying thing is that most of the crowd won't have a clue either.

Pax.

 

[Caroline]

I think the crowd will soon realise when it's not Biff that walks on stage!!

How weak. Those guys should just do their own thing... How could Nigel play for them?

Strange.

Saxon - Heavy Metal Thunder!Yes, here in Chicago. Thank goodness for the internet shops.

 

[Bloodstock]

Just to clarify - The Nigel who plays for them is in fact Nigel Durham (drummer on Destiny album). Not the mighty Glockler who still works with SAXON in a song-writing capacity!

 

[jmillion]

DUH! Thank you for the clarification, Bloodstock. I should have taken a 2nd look. It didn't make sense to me... now I know why. Yeesh, I'm a newbie.

Set straight & happy about it,
-Johnny

 

[Paxoman]

I'll do a banner saying "Piss off you fake bastards!"

 

[Black Lagoon]

Go on Pax. That would bring a touch of class to the evening!

Or make one saying "Where the Fook's Biff!"
