I'm trying to understand.Is it the case that they may be only permitted a visa for a limited number of days?I know The U.S. as other countries probably have tighter restrictions now,but I just don't get it.On a different note,I called Double D's,according to them,"SAXON is definitely coming."Perhaps they are only coming for 5 shows,because of a possible limit as to the time they may be allowed here,they had to can the Texas gigs.Please shed some light if possible.

they probably got a b-1 visa, and the length of stay is usually determined by the immigartion official beforehand or at the point of entry. doesn't seem like 7 days would make much more difference than 4 or 5, but with the heightened security measures it may...only thing I can't understand is that Saxon has a lot more fans in Texas than in NJ or Wisconsin or Cleveland. Not to put those other locations down, but sounds like the Texas crowd who planned on going to those shows are gonna be pissed.
 
Enjoy the Saxon-shows in the USA. Don't forget this: If in case there should come a world-wide bird-virus-pandemic a lot more borders will be closed in the world ...certainly the USA-borders.. So I ask all USA Saxon fans to take this opportunity to see Saxon.. (This is seriously meant..) You people deserve a band like saxon and of course all those heavymetal kids in Canada too.

I guess they won't be taking the EAGLE then :lol:

:grin: Haha Fingers that is very funny..Imagine ..Biff goes on stage and says: "Sorry dear fans, but the eagle didn't survive the bird-virus-pandemic...:)

But besides that I am really scared of that virus.. My grandfather has suffered the spanish-pandemic, gladly he didn't die, but it nearly killed him and the little-brother of my grandmother really did die because of that spanish-pandemic..., it just gives me a bad feeling..lets hope it will not strike again in another disguise and when it comes I really hope that there will be enough anti-medicine...
 
well, keep the fingers crossed! My tickets just arrived this week for the NJ show. So far, so good I guess.
