I might actually, finally, be getting to see Saxon!
They've announced a second UK tour going around all the places they didn't go last time, including Leeds Academy, which is just a short car trip from university in Sheffield! I am SO stoked, haven't even booked tickets, in fact may not even BE in Sheffield in November (Uni place isn't confirmed, but whatever).

Well.... the core of the band have been together for some time now. Yeah,they had some changes but it was for the better...
Vocalist Biff Byford and guitarist Paul Quinn are the only 2 members that were on the first Saxon record from 1979..............
Biff Byford,Paul Quinn,Doug Scarratt(guitars) and Nibbs Carter(bass) this group of 4 have been together since 1995
when Doug joined the band replacing Grahm Oliver on guitars. Steve Dawson left the band in 1986 and was replaced
by Paul Johnson on bass. Paul Johnson left in 1988 and was replaced by Nibbs Carter on bass. Nigal Glockler the drummer
joined Saxon in 1982 and was on the 1983 "Power & The Glory" album,and had stayed with the band all the way up
till 1999...he left but came back and has been back since 2005. X guitarist "Grahm Oliver" and X bassist "Steve Dawson"
joined up together and formed the ridiculous outfit called "Oliver & Dawson's Saxon".!!!! What a JOKE!!! They at first were
using the original Saxon logo....and when they did a show ,some people thought that they were going to see the "REAL" Saxon
only to show up and see the "Oliver & Dawson's Saxon" with a shitty vocalist who could not come close to Biff!!! Well,none the less
Biff & the real "Saxon" took them to court and now they can't use the original Saxon font logo.........what a bunch of losers!!!!! LOL!
