Saxon are an English heavy metal band, formed in 1976 in Barnsley, <br />
Yorkshire. As leading lights in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal they had <br />
a brief period of UK Top 40 success in the early 1980s, and also tasted <br />
success in Europe and Japan. They still tour heavily and regularly. Their <br />
latest tour is their largest in the UK since the early 1980s. Until this, the <br />
band's fame had been focused largely in Germany for many years.<br />
<br />
There is another incarnation of Saxon featuring two former band members <br />
who hold the legal rights to the name - "Oliver/Dawson Saxon".<br />
<br />
History<br />
Saxon began with a lineup of Peter "Biff" Byford on vocals, Paul Quinn and <br />
Graham Oliver on guitars, Steve "Ponce" Dawson on bass and drummer Pete <br />
"Frank" Gill. Early in their career the band changed their name from Son of a <br />
Bitch to Saxon, and gained support slots on tour with more established bands <br />
such as Motörhead.<br />
<br />
In 1979 the band signed to the Carrere record label and released their <br />
eponymous debut album. In 1980 follow-up album Wheels of Steel spawned <br />
two hit singles: the title track, and the crowd favourite "747 (Strangers in the <br />
Night)". The Strong Arm of the Law album, considered by fans to be one of <br />
their best recordings, was released later that same year, and chart success <br />
continued with singles from their next release, Denim and Leather. The title <br />
track to that album is seen as an anthem of the early 1980s metal movement. <br />
Later legal issues with Carrere negated most if not all of the financial gains <br />
seen during their early success.<br />
<br />
A relentless series of headlining tours around the UK capitalised on this <br />
success, but Saxon were never able to break into the lucrative U.S. market. <br />
After 1983's Power and the Glory album, Saxon went in an increasingly <br />
commercial direction, in an effort to counterbalance NWOBHM music's decline. <br />
This had little success despite signing to major record label EMI. Indeed, the <br />
move did little more than alienate their core fanbase. They were seen by <br />
detractors as the epitome of the heavy metal cliché. Recently, they have <br />
returned to their less overtly commercial roots, and still have a larger <br />
following. Saxon recently did a 25th Anniversary of NWOBHM tour of <br />
Germany beginning in early March 2005. To celebrate the anniversary of the <br />
New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM), the band played songs they <br />
recorded during the 1980s.<br />
<br />
Saxon's latest studio album, entitled The Inner Sanctum, was released in <br />
Europe on March 5, 2007, and North America on April 3, seen by many critics <br />
as their best work in years. In 2007, they started a world tour in support of <br />
The Inner Sanctum. Surprisingly for their age, they will only have 15 nights <br />
off from 60 dates.<br />
<br />
Collaboration with Harvey Goldsmith<br />
<br />
Saxon in Italy, at the Evolution Festival 2006.In 2007, Saxon was the subject <br />
of an episode of Harvey Goldsmith's Get Your Act Together.<br />
<br />
Saxon's popularity had been in decline since about 1983. As part of his <br />
program, Goldsmith wanted to try and restore their popularity and cement <br />
their reputation as a great band once again. He claimed their music was just <br />
like Iron Maiden's and they should have similar levels of success (Iron Maiden <br />
are one of the top selling heavy metal acts of all time). He went on a 6 month <br />
make over of Saxon, including their look, sound and stage set. He drafted in <br />
two new producers to overlook the production of the new single If I Was You <br />
(a song about gun culture), which went straight to number one of the Rock <br />
Charts in over 10 countries (becoming their most successful single for over 12 <br />
years).<br />
<br />
At the end of the programme, Saxon sold out the Sheffield City Hall (over <br />
2,000 capacity) becoming their biggest UK date in over 15 years. Saxon <br />
performed at the 2008 Download Festival on the third stage. Despite playing <br />
on the smallest of the three stages and only having a 40 minute set Saxon <br />
managed to pull in the biggest crowd for the gibson stage and had to take <br />
breaks inbetween songs as the crowds chanting their name were drowning <br />
out Biffs vocals<br />
<br />
[edit] Line-ups<br />
Throughout the band's history line-up changes have been common, but with <br />
Byford and Quinn remaining as constants. Gill left in 1981 after injuring his <br />
hand, to be replaced by his old friend Nigel Glockler, formerly of Toyah <br />
Willcox's band, who was himself replaced twice – briefly between 1987 and <br />
1988 (by Nigel Durham), and, more permanently, following an injury of his <br />
own in 1998. Glockler rejoined the band in 2005 being completely cured from <br />
his injury.<br />
<br />
Gill later went on to play for Motörhead. Dawson departed in 1986 – his <br />
replacement, Paul Johnson, lasted two years before leaving. Nibbs Carter <br />
has filled the position ever since.<br />
<br />
When Graham Oliver left in 1995 (replaced by Doug Scarratt), the band split <br />
into two different Saxon groups - one dominated by vocalist Byford and his <br />
cohort Quinn and the other consisting of original Saxon members Oliver and <br />
Dawson. A period of legal actions ensued, resulting in both groups having the <br />
right to use Saxon in their name (although former member one must be <br />
indicated as "Oliver/Dawson Saxon"). The line-up of Byford's Saxon has been <br />
fairly stable apart from the departure of a few drummers. Following Glockler's <br />
departure, German Fritz Randow took up the position until 2004. His <br />
replacement was former Stratovarius man Jörg Michael.<br />
<br />
The line-up that played on the Lionheart album consisted of Byford on vocals, <br />
guitarists Quinn and Scarrat, Carter on bass and Michael on drums. The <br />
German originally agreed to perform on the album as a session musician, but <br />
following his firing from Stratovarius was hired as a full-time member. <br />
Following the rapid reunion of Stratovarius, Michael departed after only a <br />
year in the job, opening the door for Glockler to return to Saxon. Saxon <br />
recorded The Inner Sanctum after the release of the live album The Eagle <br />
Has Landed - part 3, which features Glockler and Micheal on drums, as well as <br />
former drummer Fritz Randow.<br />
