Somewhere around South Yorkshire, UK there was a band that started life as SOB during 1976 with founder members Graham Oliver and Steve Dawson. This band joined forces with another local band, Coast, featuring Biff Byford on vocals and Paul Quinn on guitar. The two bands then finalised with a line-up comprising of the then 26 year old Graham 'Oly' Oliver, Steve 'Dobby' Dawson (27), Paul 'Blute' Quinn (26), Pete 'Frank' Gill (27) and Peter 'Biff' Byford (27). The name of the band was Son Of A Bitch. That name was dropped a few years later and the band re-christened themselves SAXON. They were at this time playing the usual rock clubs and concert gigs supporting The Ian Gillan Band and Heavy Metal Kids, amongst others, playing all their own material. Demo tapes we More... (Submit New Saxon Lyrics) (Submit New Saxon Lyrics) Review about Saxon True story? | Reviewer: Ben ------ About the song 747 (Strangers In The Night) performed by Saxon Further to Jonathans review above, I've been trying to find out if Saxon based this on real events for ages!

Still as execellent as it was then. And the bands played on | Reviewer: Cathy ------ About the song And The Bands Played On performed by Saxon Excellent song. I was too young to go to the first three or four Monsters of Rock when this song was released but later on i didn't miss any, and after experiencing the atmosphere there, I would say they wrote this song especially for the Monsters of Rock. Anyone agree? What makes a good song? | Reviewer: Jonathan ------ About the song 747 (Strangers In The Night) performed by Saxon Yeah - great track. Simple riffs are usually the best, and those that stick with you. I hadn't heard this for at least 20 years, but I remembered it and recently got it from it from iTunes. Now I often find myself singing this in my head - always halmark of a classic song. There are also two added bonuses: 1. a superb and memorable opening solo from Graham Oliver - not a speed merchant but a wonderfully crafted melody line that leads you up to the main riff. 2. Lyrics that are unusual and at the same time compelling - they paint a haunting picture of desperation before impending doom and yet leave you feeling there is still more to it than you understand. Bruford's voice is also great. The song sounds like it was based on a real event - I haven't found out what, though - anybody know more?? Heavy Metal | Reviewer: Henrik ------ About the song Princess Of The Night performed by Saxon Best heavy metal song ever!! The first heavy metal song I heard and it still the the best! Saxon Rocks! | Reviewer: Bert ------ About the song Denim & Leather performed by Saxon I see this song as a tribute to all the Saxon fans and maybe even all the other metalheads on this planet. This songs really rocks, Saxon we love you! Metal is forever! Yes, this I like | Reviewer: Kalle in Sweden ------ About the song And The Bands Played On performed by Saxon This is just beautiful.
