Actually that song Wheels Of Steel sounds exactly like the AC/DC song Bad Boy Boogie. Someone call a lawyer.

He sounds more buzzed there than normal. But even if he was young when he came here, would he not still have an inflection from being raised by his parents? I know he sounds much more high speed in some interviews and hard to understand than the others. Could be he was just plain out drunk 90% of the time. lol
Either way, I don't care. I loved him and was truly affected at the age of 15 still when he died.
They were the first band I just loved, and I was heartbroken that my parents took me on vacation to Florida instead of changing the world for me so I could go see the Highway to Hell tour in Roanoke, VA! I campaigned for it for months, but they would have none of it. Damn, if they only knew it would be the last time I got to see Bon!! HA!!! I don't think it would have changed their minds. lol
That's how teenagers think. lol
Yeah I know that but Bon moved to Aussie when he was five or six, his accent is totally Aussie. Listen to this interview. He's actually being interviewed by a Scottish guy so you can hear the difference.

Actually Jimmy, Bon is not originally from Australia, his accent still carried at bit of the brog from his homeland of Scottland, that's why sometimes when he talked you couldn't quit keep up with him in a live interview. Angus and Malcolm were born in Scottland too but came to Australia as children so they don't have that.
Biff is from the northern part of England so it would make sense his accent my have been influenced by a bit of scott as well.
As far as pitch goes, I can see where you get that from. The upper range, which bon rarely hit and held for long, does sound close.
My two cents for the day.

Check out that vid budred posted of Wheels Of Steel, sounds very similar to old AC/DC. Not just Byford even the guitaring on that particular song has a 70s AC/DCish sound to it. The obvious difference are Biffs english accent and Bons aussie accent but to me they have the same kind of voice, power etc. This is not a bad thing by the way, just something I noticed.

Yeah that's an Aussie accent alright, the guy interviewing him has a relatively mild Scots accent but Scots none the less. We pick up on Aussie accents as easily as we do Kiwi ones I reckon lol.

Budred look at this video from 1988 "I Can't Wait Anymore" from the 1988 Destiny album....haha what a sellout! Saxon spanks of poor aesthetics and songwritting in this video,song,album,year and era haha! They don't have golden balls hanging and everything they do isn't equal to everything else. I actually love this band and have an opinion about every song and every album,that is a real "fan". Lame video HA!

Yeah I've seen that before Budred,very cool.
Anybody wants to take a shot at Saxon in this thread so be it,I'm not here to force everybody to like them. If you think they suck then say so,it doesn't bother me as long as that person's intention is about conversation rather than just to post something to irritate people like the unworthy childish Brian_Evans does.

Ha ha,I've just read 3 PMs from other members saying how much you are "obsessed" with everything "J.D.DIAMOND". They think you want a piece of my ass,I think they are right. Sorry,I have a woman already,something you could have if you spent the same kind of effort dry humping everything J.D.DIAMOND. HAHA! Your laughing at me? LOL! The entire forum if laughing thier ass off at you fanboy fucktard.
Well since you keep repeating yourself here is another example of the entire forum is tired of hearing "anything" straight from the horses ass,now put down the picture of J.D. Diamond and drop that lube in your hand. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Brian_Evans from Monday, February 28, 2011 10:47:47 PM)

Oh yeah,make no mistake about it Saxon "fucked up thier career" in the 80's from "crap" like Ride Like The Wind. The band's first 5 studio LPs are cool but they actually have 6 straight albums that are not good from Crusader 1984 to Forever Free 1992 then they turned thier career around starting from 1995 Dogs Of War album till now.
But yeah they really "sucked" in the mid to late 80's man,they were a freakin "joke" but people still think they are like that but they are not. Biff even said he wishes that he never "sold out" to the American market with the MTV glam rock scene,he said he regrets it very much and wishes that those albums were better,he doesn't even like the 1986 "Rock The Nations" album at all,as hecan't stand to listen to it. Saxon's Biff Byford always says that Saxon plays a mix between traditional british heavy metal that fits into the category with Judas Priest and Iron Maiden but they also have half thier albums that is traditional "rock" as well. Slow Lane Blues is a bluesey track off the new album and its a classic.
Thanks to Tina from Walsall England for getting me into Saxon in 2005,Tina you rock!
