	MySpace.com - Saxon - Barnsley - Metal / Rock - www.myspace.com/saxon747band
		Somewhere around South Yorkshire, UK there was a band that started life as SOB during 1976 with founder members Graham Oliver and Steve Dawson.
		The two bands then finalised with a line-up comprising of the then 26 year old Graham 'Oly' Oliver, Steve 'Dobby' Dawson (27), Paul 'Blute' Quinn (26), Pete 'Frank' Gill (27) and Peter 'Biff' Byford (27).
		He was very impressed and recommended SAXON to Claude Carrere as candidates for his new label on the British scene, Carrere Records.

	Saxon (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Saxon is a British heavy metal band, formed in 1976 in Barnsley, Yorkshire.
		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.
		Saxon is currently embarking on the "25th Anniversary of NWOBHM" tour of Germany beginning in early March 2005.

	Saxon - SmartyBrain Encyclopedia and Dictionary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Some Saxons, along with Angles, Jutes and Frisians, invaded Britain in the early Middle Ages, giving their names to the kingdoms of Essex, Sussex and Wessex (the lands respectively of the East, South and West Saxons), which with the shorter-lived Middlesex eventually became part of the kingdom of England.
		A majority of the Saxons remained in continental Europe, forming from the 8th century the Duchy of Saxony.
		The label "Saxons" was generally applied to German settlers who migrated during the 13th century to south-eastern Transylvania in present-day Romania, where their descendants numbered a quarter of a million in the early decades of the 20th century.

		Sky Saxon (vocals) and guitarist Jan Savage formed the Seeds with keyboardist Daryl Hooper and drummer Rick Andridge in Los Angles in 1965.
		During the early '70s, Saxon re-emerged as 'Sky Sunlight', fronting several combinations known variously as 'Stars New Seeds' or the 'Universal Stars Band', before retreating from society and moving to Hawaii.
		Saxon reunited the original Seeds for a short tour in 1989 and in the late 90's, made still another resurgence, having become a cult icon to the international psychedelic crowd.

		Not many bands have actually done this right, the only one that comes to mind right now is Overkill with their excellent "Wrecking Everything Live" DVD.
		Not only was this filmed at night, but the filming is top notch most of the time, and the band was playing on huge stage with a great set of stage lights - very impressive, and something we definitely don't see that often.
		Disc 2 is quite loaded, first with a "Saxon on Tour" home video (shot by the band), which shows the band travelling across various countries on tour - not bad.

		Saxon is and always has been (for 25 years already) an undoubtedly "must see" Heavy Metal band, a steady value when it comes to live performances.
		The band did what it knows best for almost 2.5 hours, leading the crowd to a pleasant exhaustion (I know I was dead meat after the show had ended), taking all of us on a headbanging journey through the band’s loaded discography.

		The Seeds were a 1960s rock and roll band whose raw and abrasive energy and simple, repetitive lyrics came to exemplify the garage rock style.
		In the 1980s, Saxon collaborated with several bandsâ€”including Redd Kross and The Chesterfield Kingsâ€”before reforming the original Seeds in 1989 to headline "The Summer of Love Tour", along with Big Brother and the Holding Company, Arthur Lee and Love, The Music Machine and The Strawberry Alarm Clock.
		Saxon now remains the only original member of The Seeds, currently augmented by the aforementioned Collins as well as organist Ryan Maynes, guitarist Nate Greely, and drummer Justin Smith.

		Saxon’s remembrance of JFK, “Dallas 1PM” sounds just as profound and timely today as it did when it was released—it’s impact is only accentuated when placed along side such classic metal celebrations as “Denim and Leather” and “Never Surrender”.
		It’s not that this is a bad rendition of the tune—it’s just that the band would have been better served to have placed this song on the first disc replacing this second disc slot with one of their live staples instead.
		Saxon is a prime example of one of the best NWOBHM bands not to get their commercial due in the U.S. The first time I saw them in concert was at the Whiskey-A-Go-Go in L.A.back in 1981.The opening act for that show was a then virtually unknown thrash quartet called...Metallica.

	Welcome to Auburn Records
		The band dedicated "Blood Money" to original lead vocalist Jim Hamar early in their set, a nice gesture to the former front man who left the band suddenly this past January.
		Saxon closed out the evening with a 2-hour set that included just about every Saxon song any fan would expect (except this writer's favorite "And The Bands Played On" - figures!).
		Both the Saxon band members and their crew were a pleasure to work with.

		Saxon was one of the early leaders of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, along with Iron Maiden and Def Leppard.
		The band was formed in Barnsley in 1977 by vocalist Biff Byford, guitarists Graham Oliver and Paul Quinn, bassist Steve Dawson, and drummer Pete Gill.
		He was replaced by Paul Johnson and Saxon limped through the rest of the decade recording weak pop-metal albums in a desperate, but futile, attempt to connect with American fans while slowly corroding their European fan base.

		It was accepted that, like most bands, Saxon was a partnership at will, that is a partnership for as long as all the partners wanted to stay together.
		It followed that it was Biff Byford and the current members of the band who owned the name and the fresh goodwill which they had generated themselves and were therefore in a position to prevent Graham Oliver and Steven Dawson passing themselves off as Saxon.
		This is a possible and worrying implication of the judge's decision: upon the departure of one band member, in the absence of agreement, the remaining members cannot continue under the band name.

		He is quickly accepted by SAXON's fans and becomes a permanent member touring during the latter part of 1988, proving to be a dominant, competent songwriter and general SAXON stage maniac.

		Vocalist Biff Byford is still in the band and he does a great job mixing up the various aspects of his vocal talents on this album.
		Saxon has a large following of dedicated fans that they've maintained for twenty five years now, and to those fans my suggestion for them to go get this album would be kind of useless because they will likely be getting it anyway.
		My suggestion then would be better used appealing to non Saxon fans, those Saxon fans of old that have lost interest of the band, and fans of traditional heavy metal who have yet to hear Saxon to go out and get this album as soon as they can.

		The result is a garage band with a substantial body of work; there's that and the singularly strange odyssey of a young man from Utah who became Sky Saxon, leader of the rudest, meanest, most primitive, and openly druggiest band in America.
		The band was quite drugged at this point; the result is the punk of the debut with a psychedelic hypnotic overlay.
		Saxon had become involved with a sect called "Ya Ho Wha", formed in 1969 in the Los Angeles area by one of the most eccentric freaks of the time, a middle-aged beatnik called Jim Baker who believed himself a god and went by the nickname of Father Yod.

		Saxon has always been one of my favorites and I want to see a reunion...Saxon has put out some good albums since Dawson, but nothing even close to Power and the Glory or The Eagle Has Landed (the first one).

		Wherever Saxon appear, their fans are treated to a brilliant show full of classics with a timeless atmosphere, rendering the question of possible trends and fashions purely rethorical.
		Saxon once again shows why they've been around for 30 years, as they could do in their sleep what many younger acts wish they could do with all their guitar effects and studio tricks, deliver the goods.
		Saxon is at their metalhead best when they stay away from restricting themselves to a singular musical concept, and this album does it with just good old fashioned hard rock.

		Not band footage of the band, but I found it quite annoying that they kept sticking in those candid shots during the live footage, even interrupting the music every now and then for some backstage tom foolery.
