It would be great to see some young 'uns at future Saxon gigs. I was 11 at my first Saxon gig. But lets have some common sense and some respect. By all means going f*****g crazy, because I will be. But don't go slamming into people who don't want to know, or try throwing people into the middle of a mosh pit. This is all stuff I have seen many times at gigs, and always done by kids. But I havent seen it at a Saxon gig, and I don't want to thanks very much.
Although many years ago (I am 45 on 9th November !!) bottles of p!ss being thrown amongst the throng was a regular feature of a metal gig in my youth (better than the gobbing / phlegming at the punk gigs of the same era !). My tour jackets can stand up on their own due to the amount of p!ss they have soaked up over the years (and I can now get a seat on the Tube because of the stench !!). They are now so old and shrunken / I have got so fat - it looks like I have nicked them from a child ! I have had many bottles of p!ss shatter on my German steel helmet at AC/DC, Saxon and Iron Maiden gigs in the past. Remember the mayhem at Donnington / Reading etc. in the halcyon days gone by when there were bottle fights between the different stages ? I got hit on the head by a Swede (vegetable - not nationality Metal Dude !) when Gillan was on stage with Black Sabbath in 83.
I look forward to seeing a new generation of fans at future Saxon gigs. However - be warned ! We old uns have been there, seen it and done it - and know all the tricks ! If anyone crowd surfs above us - beware of the consequences !!


Staying out all night
Learning to fight
I got the dirty
I was tough, I was mean
When we learn to fight
When we start to roam
Then you'd better stay home
'Cause I'm a member of the street elite
You know it's trouble to all we meet
I'm in a street fighting gang
Street fighting gang
I'm in a gang
The gang.
(Only joking !)
Welcome to a fantastic experience. Saxon are the very best live band around - and the fans, as you can see from this Board, are a close knit Family. You can meet a Saxon fan at a gig - and be friends for life.
See you at the front


Cheers,
Goss.
