Maddergascar Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 yeah, off to see them tommorrow in Manchester. Some of their songs are really good, up their with Judas Priest and Iron Maiden. I tend to get the feeling that old bands either get dumped in the "legends" category or the "failure/cheeseball" category, and this is kinda unfair, cause their are tons of good bands who, for whatever reason, had transient success, but at the time, were up their with peer that are well remembered today. Anyone else know them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceman24 Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I don't think there are multiple Saxons. Anyway, they're an awesome band. Especially live. I've seen them twice (and even touched the bass player) and I've seen Maiden once, and I can say, Saxon is live way better. One of the best bands you can see. And the new album rules.

The Sandman Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I don't think there are multiple Saxons."When Graham Oliver left in 1995 (replaced by Doug Scarratt), the band split into two different Saxon groups - one dominated by vocalist Byford and his cohort Quinn and the other consisting of original Saxon members Oliver and Dawson. A period of legal actions ensued, resulting in both groups having the right to use Saxon in their name (although former member one must be indicated as "Oliver/Dawson Saxon").
