I guess the great\u00a0 things about these festivals is for a band such as Saxon to be playing to audiences made up of most likely 3 generations of fans\u2026.<\/strong><br \/>\nWell yes definitely. \u00a0Given it was our 30th anniversary this year, we have got 3 generation of fans definitely. \u00a0There are young fans now who have just gotten into the music and then fans who have been with us from the 80&#8217;s. \u00a0It&#8217;s a good place to be actually, bands like us and Maiden, Mot\u00f6rhead, Priest, Slayer we all have a huge fan following from all generations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You are travelling to most of Australia&#8217;s major cities, I dare say you will get a small amount of time to check out some sights&#8230;anything specific on the list?\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nWell we might be actually playing a couple of extra shows maybe. \u00a0I think they want us to headline a couple of shows, because we are on quite early at the festival aren&#8217;t we? So that would be good to play a few shows with the longer set. \u00a0We had a good look around Sydney the last time, didn&#8217;t get to Perth however and we get to go to Adelaide this time as well. When we came last time we did Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/maytherockbewithyou.com\/mtrbwy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Saxon+_band.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-2574\" title=\"Saxon+_band\" src=\"http:\/\/maytherockbewithyou.com\/mtrbwy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Saxon+_band-199x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"199\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maytherockbewithyou.com\/mtrbwy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Saxon+_band-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/maytherockbewithyou.com\/mtrbwy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Saxon+_band.jpg 356w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px\" \/><\/a>With 30+ years worth of material to choose from\u2026.what can we expect to hear whilst you are out here in Australia?<\/strong><br \/>\nWell we might play a couple of new songs which would be the first time we have played them in Australia which would be kind of cool. \u00a0It will be a bit of a mix between the last few albums and the classics from the 80&#8217;s, a power set really! We won&#8217;t be playing that long anyway given we are on early, so we will try and squeeze in as many as possible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Of particular interest to me because I will be there\u2026.for Sweden Rock 2011 \u2013 I read that you will be playing the entire \u201cDenim &amp; Leather\u201d album and at Monsters of Rock you played \u201cWheels Of Steel\u201d.<\/strong><br \/>\nYes we did, which was great!\u00a0 Oh are you, that will be great, it&#8217;s an awesome festival Sweden Rock. \u00a0That&#8217;s a very mixed festival as well, very mixed bill. I think we have got the full production there too with the eagle and everything as we are headlining the rock stage aren&#8217;t we? \u00a0It will be a very big gig for Saxon. \u00a0The promoter asked as a special favour if we would play the\u00a0&#8216;Denim and Leather&#8217;\u00a0album as it&#8217;s his favourite album. \u00a0We will be playing some other songs as well, not just that album.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here in Australia we don&#8217;t exactly have the metal festivals of Europe which you have played many many times!\u00a0 What are some of Biff\u2019s tips for surviving my first European rock festival haha?<\/strong><br \/>\nWell you need three things in big supply&#8230;water, toilet paper and some beer haha! \u00a0That&#8217;s all you need&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>We just dont have that festival culture here!<\/strong><br \/>\nWell in Europe everyone camps out in a tent. \u00a0Each festival has these huge camp sites which they call villages, but they are more like cities. \u00a0People have a great three or four days together, then head back to their homes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you come to be associated with Bullet?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Well we had played together on a few festivals and gotten to know them. \u00a0They are a good band, good time rock, almost like a Swedish version of your Australian Airbourne, you know what I mean? We know Airbourne, we did a lot of shows with them a few years ago when they first started to rise. \u00a0They are good lads, we like them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You earlier released a mega DVD compilation, \u201cHeavy Metal Thunder \u2013 The Movie\u201d, with documentary, footage from a show in Germany during 1981, a St. George\u2019s Day gig from 2008, interviews from the Crusader era, film of the band recording the Innocence Is No Excuse and Into The Labyrinth albums.<\/strong><br \/>\nWe like that DVD, it&#8217;s got some great reviews and its just been voted the 3rd best DVD of the year, so yes we are very,very pleased with it!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ok, looking back over your career\u2026not that I am saying you have already done it all, but what&#8217;s still high on your list of things you want to achieve from music that you haven\u2019t yet done?<\/strong><br \/>\nWell we aren&#8217;t really a band that&#8217;s going to make a lot of surprises really or suddenly change and do a four CD concept album haha! \u00a0We are recording the new album with more of a live feel to it, trying to get a bit more passion into the recording. \u00a0It&#8217;s pretty much Saxon through and through really, no big suprises in store.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is there anywhere that you haven\u2019t yet had the opportunity to play live?<\/strong><br \/>\nWe keep getting asked to play various places, with India coming up a lot. \u00a0So we might head down there and get a nice curry!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where many artists have come and gone, what do you attribute Saxon\u2019s longevity in music to? \u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nI think we have the fans to thank for that for sticking with us for so long. \u00a0That&#8217;s what it&#8217;s all about really. \u00a0I think we have also managed to keep the lineup very strong and release strong albums. \u00a0We are always pushing to write great songs, we don&#8217;t just want to write and release a bunch of rubbish.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Biff, thanks for taking the time to chat, and all the best with the visit to Australia and recording the new album!<\/strong><br \/>\nThankyou, well remember you will also be seeing Saxon at Sweden Rock!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yes indeed I shall, I will be getting a double shot of Saxon in \u00a02011! \u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nA double shot of Saxon haha, just like a double shot of Jack Daniels!!<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Essential Information<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Fom:\u00a0<\/strong>UK<\/p>\n<p><strong>Band:\u00a0<\/strong>Biff Byford &#8211; Vocals,\u00a0Doug Scarratt &#8211; Guitar,\u00a0Paul Quinn &#8211; Guitar,\u00a0Nibbs Carter &#8211; Bass, keyboards,\u00a0Nigel Glockler &#8211; Drums<\/p>\n<p><strong>Websites:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.saxon747.com\">www.saxon747.com<\/a>\u00a0&amp;\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.soundwavefestival.com\">www.soundwavefestival.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Latest CD Release:\u00a0<\/strong>Heavy Metal Thunder (DVD)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saxon &#8211; one of the pioneers and long lasting bands from the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) era that spawned the likes of Iron Maiden and Judas Priest will be soon heading to Australia to take part in the Soundwave Festival tour.\u00a0 2010 saw the band celebrate their 30th year and sees the Saxon legacy as strong as [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2573,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,5,4],"tags":[1008,1007],"class_list":["post-2572","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-7","category-features","category-interviews","tag-biff-byford","tag-saxon"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
