		Biff Byford and Paul Quinn came over from another band, and when Pete Gill signed up, the classic lineup was born.
		They changed name to Saxon right before their first album, and by the time of Wheels Of Steel they were regarded as one the leaders of the fledgling NWOBHM movement.
		A final court settlement was reached in October 2003, awarding naming rights to Biff's group, with the other faction allowed to continue as Oliver Dawson Saxon.

	Biff Byford tragedy - Planetblaze.com Forums
		Biff was able to rescue his wife and their four small children.
		Unfortunately it is impossible for Biff to leave his wife and kids alone at home, because the children have suffered a traumatic experience and they are frightened that there will be more fires in the future (the youngest are 5 year old and cannot understand of course).
		as for biff byford he must be so gutted because you cant replace sentimental value items and he is so lucky to have everyone come out alive but i really feel for him.

	Saxon
		The days of the group seemed numbered with the end of their recording contract and for the next two years things were quiet in the Saxon camp, until they emerged in 1991 with a new deal with SPV and the release of 'Solid Ball Of Rock'.
		Biff Byford still sings like he's got his left nut trapped in his leather strides and guitarists Doug Scarratt and Paul Quinn whip up a veritable storm - both 'Dragon's Lair' and 'Running For The Border' are especially feisty.
		Saxon, featuring original vocalist Biff Byford, fellow remaining original member guitarist Paul Quinn, second guitarist Doug Scaratt, and the rhythm section of Nibbs Carter (bass) and drummer Fritz Randow (ex-Victory and Sinner) have confirmed a UK tour in October.

		This lineup features the ageless Biff Byford, together with guitar mainstay Paul Quinn, and their last recording with disgruntled guitar player Graham Oliver.
		Although Oliver is listed on the album’s credits, the liner notes by Biff state that his last show with the band was New Year’s Eve 1994, and guitar on the record was played by Rainer Haensel.
		Biff’s crystal clear vocals sail around the wailing dual axe attack, the drums and bass hold up the whole thing like Atlas with that big blue marble.

	Saxon Interview
		I was fortunate enough to hook up with lead throat Biff Byford this past October for a chat about the past, the present and the future of Saxon.
		Biff: American radio took certain rock songs and labeled them "heavy metal," but many were a far cry from metal.
		Biff: Actually, our first time in America was on tour with Rush...that had to be around 1980, during the Wheels of Steel tour.

		Fortunately Biff was able to rescue his wife and their four small children.

	Saxon (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Their original line up consisted of Peter "Biff" Byford on vocals, Paul Quinn and Graham Oliver on guitars, Steve Dawson on bass and drummer Pete Gill.
		Early in their career the band changed their name from "Son of a Bitch" to Saxon, and gained support slots on tour with more established bands such as Motörhead.
		Dawson has claimed that the character of Derek Smalls from the spoof-metal band Spinal Tap was strongly influenced by him, particularly his prominent facial hair and his penchant for playing to the gallery by fingering his bass with his left hand while throwing a mano cornuto with his right.

	OLIVER/DAWSON SAXON - It's Alive - METAL DREAMS REVIEW (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Graham Oliver (guitar) and Steve Dawson (bass) are on one side and Biff Byford (vocals) and Paul Quinn (guitar) are on the other.
		Byford and Quinn continued as Saxon long after Dawson exited the fold, and did the same after Oliver was supposedly sacked.
		He certainly isn't on the same level of Biff Byford, and it's a glaring weakness for Oliver/Dawson Saxon, especially when they perform so many Saxon songs.

	Saxon lose name in court battle!!!! - Bowl of Flakes
		I talked to Biff about that a long time ago and he said it wasn't the name they were fighting over it was money.
		Biff Byford should get it because he was the most visible member of Saxon, but Oliver and Dawson make up more of the band than him alone, so does numbers alone make the difference?
		But with Saxon, Oliver and Dawson started a band and Paul Quinn and Biff Byford joined and then they became Saxon before their first album was released.

		It was definitely a huge surprise that they even bothered coming over as Biff Byford already announced in the early stage of the gig that they loose a lot of money when coming over, but it is great to see the wild and enthusiastic crowd.
		That seemed not to dismiss the general atmosphere of the gig at all, just on the contrary as becoming and turning to be quite intensive especially when Biff encouraged and demanded people to bang their heads.
		In general as for the vocalist Biff Byford's stage appearance, he really is a showman in every meaning of the word.

	Metal News - Saxon Album Update And Tracklisting ( Metal Underground . com )
		Saxon frontman Biff Byford recently spoke to the U.K.'s long-running magazine Terrorizer about the group's brand-new album, "Lionheart," due on September 20 through SPV Records.
		Pretty much the same can be said of every aspect of their new, haunting album, "Lionheart." From their impressive songwriting with its powerful sounds and ambitioned lyrics about witch hunters, King Richard Lionheart and the attitude of British soldiers towards war, to their striking cover artwork, Saxon unequivocally stand by their origins.
		Byford rightly explains: "Lionheart is the most powerful album we've ever recorded.

		Vocalist Biff kicks you while you're down, his voice carrying like a foghorn in a peasouper and capable of shattering bullet proof glass at 60 paces.
		Biff then goes on to explain about the anti-violence, anti-war aspects of 'Street Fighting Gang' and 'Machine Gun' and I'm intrigued by the various unexpectedly subtle points that Saxon are trying to put across.
		Biff doesn't agree, but I argue, that if Saxon really want to be the 'loudest band in the world' then it won't matter what the hell he vocalises, it's all just going to be one almighty noise anyway.

	SAXON Interview by Shan Siva
		Biff: "We played to 4,000 people in Belgium last night where the metal scene is fantastic but sadly we don't actually spend a lot of time in the UK cos its more pop orientated and Heavy Metal is basically a dirty word here isn't it?
		Biff: "I think our music in America at the time was considered far too heavy for the radio.
		Biff: "Nah, the tea drinking was all part of the publicity machine at the time but yeah, I do still like bikes but nowadays (looking at his wife beside him - SS) I'm into having babies.

		However, when I finally got hold of him in front of Pumpehuset, he said that that the plans had been changed and that Nigel Glockler was doing the interview instead.
		I guess I must have looked very disappointed, because Biff changed his mind and asked me to come along to the thai restaurant he and the tourmanager were going to and do the interview there.
		Apart from feeling a bit sad that the show was on a Monday night, he seemed in a good mood and ready to play.

		Στα συν η εναλλαγή στα 2μισι λεπτά, με το Byford να βάζει τη σφραγίδα του.
		Σχεδόν 50άρηδες οι Byford και Quinn συνεχίζουν ακάθεκτοι απ’ότι φαίνεται, αλλά έχουν και στη πλάτη τους δίσκους σαν το Wheels of Steel για να θυμίζουν στους πάντες το θρύλο του Βρετανικού metal όπως διαμορφώθηκε πριν από 20 χρόνια, και όπως συνεχίζει να κάνει αισθητή τη παρουσία του σήμερα.
		Line up (1980): Biff Byford (φωνητικά), Graham Oliver (κιθάρα), Paul Quinn (κιθάρα), Steve Dawson (μπάσο), Pete Gill (drums).

		The only problem was that when I eventually found this goddess a couple of years ago, she came in the Earthly form of a meth addled three-time divorcee who was missing her left front tooth due to what I found out later was a domestic altercation with her second husband.
		I guess it didn’t matter though because I knew that regardless of her pronunciation she was still very well acquainted with the fact that Byford is the lead singer of Saxon—one of the most important metal bands to come out of Britain during the eighties.
		Those two bastards walked out of the band seperatly and Biff Byford was the only one to stick around and keep this kick ass band going.

	BLABBERMOUTH.NET - SAXON Name Dispute Settled
		The long-running legal battle over the SAXON band name between the group's current vocalist Biff Byford and fellow original members Graham Oliver and Steve Dawson appears to finally be over.
		"This now settles the ongoing dispute over the name in Biff Byford's favour as in effect the Order which was approved by the Court on 25th September 2003 enables Biff Byford's band and that band alone to use the SAXON name by itself, together with the traditional SAXON logo and SAXON eagle.
		This should bring the long-running battle over the name to a significant conclusion and Biff Byford and the rest of the band have declared themselves very satisfied indeed with the outcome." View the court-issued "Consent Order": Page#1, Page#2, Page#3.

		This was particularly evident during an extremely strong live set at Jaxxs, a Virginia nightclub, in which the band proved to be energetic, melodic and heavy enough to bridge the generational gap of 80's and modern day metal.
		And, at around 53-years of age, Byford's voice still carries the same power that it did in the Denim and Leather days.

	ROCKSTAR :: traccia del giorno
		NWOBHM è una sigla mostruosa che sta per “New Wave Of British Heavy Metal”, la nuova generazione di metallari inglesi che si abbatterono fra la fine degli anni Settanta e l'inizio degli anni Ottanta non soltanto sul Regno Unito ma anche su tutto il resto del mondo.
		Tra le varie band appartenenti a questa schiera c'erano i Saxon di Biff Byford; a dire il vero, il nome originale della band era “Son Of A Bitch”, con buona pace delle madri dei componenti.
		Dopo aver moderato un po' il nome, la band realizza il proprio debutto discografico nel 1979 con un disco omonimo che rivela il potenziale ma non solleva entusiasmi, al contrario di “Wheels Of Steel” dell'anno successivo.

		As many of you may or may not know Saxon fronted by Biff Byford and Saxon fronted by Graham Oliver and Steve Dawson have been waging an intense battle for the last few years regarding which camp has the right to use the name Saxon.
		Even though there was a decision in the case in march which basically left the name in the hands of the Byford fronted Saxon, Oliver/Dawson have released this disc which consists of live versions of old Saxon and Son of a Bitch songs.
		The song is played perfectly and I would expect nothing less from a group of guys who consider themselves as “sharing” the Saxon name with Biff Byford’s unit.
