Talk:Saxon (band)

message: Just noticed that vyvyan in The Young Ones wears a saxon tshirt through the series. Could be added somewhere but iono
Err..
Saxon *are* Spinal Tap.. in a way..
It was Saxon that Rob Reiner, et al, toured with, and it was Saxon who got Lost Backstage, etc...
This should be mentioned.
also (ex-)Darkness bass player Frankie Poullain owes much of his style to Steve Dawson.
This article is good, nice seeing you covered a lot of the members as well! But a little update couldn't be wrong (Dubai as said below) Grinder0-0 14:56, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: Why isn't the Dubai thing mentioned in the article? Surely it is a topic that should be mentioned when discussing the band. A banned band in 2006? Surely worth a mention. 82.181.208.26 10:12, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dubain controversy 

message: The article consistently calls them a metal band. I think that's misleading, as they're a typical late 70s hardrock band that was obsoleted by metal when that took over around 1983.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 167.202.201.4 (talk) 14:17, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Metal ? 

message: We must end about this confussion. Hard Rock is only a subgenre of Metal. I don`t care if a lot of people today wants to separate the Hard Rock of the rest of Metal because it`s sound is no stronger like the Extreme Metal. Today we can say Extreme Metal is Metal, but if the things change...¿will be renamed "cumbia"?¿Flamenco?
The Hard Rock is the first genre to be named "Heavy Metal"in the last sixties, and now, Hard Rock has an evolution like Metal, because, for example, like the rest of Metal, sounds harder than years ago. Compare the last albums of Whitesnake with the Hard Rock of the seventies, compare the sound of Wolfmother with the Black Sabbath music of that times... it sounds much harder, and the guitars have influences of the last metal(more notes, more wah-wah, and more importance of "solos"). 
Saxon is an exemple of Hard Rock/Heavy Metal band, and Hard Rock is Metal, the first subgenre to born.
I`m sorry about my english, i`m spaniard.

thread_title:  Yes, Metal is

message: Hi, I'm a freelance Stagehand.  I've worked with a Sound Engineer called Bruce Gaines.  He claimed to be ex-drummer from Saxon, but we are not sure - he did not seem to be that profficient a drummer.
Can anyone clarify?
I met Bruce a few times and heard the same thing,he said he played session and live for them a few times but i can find no reference of him anywhere.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.43.168.90 (talk) 08:41, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Is anyone going to add anything about the collaboration as seen on TV in "Get your act together"?
-I'm going to edit this section soon. That programme was absolutely appaling - a complete straw-man argument if ever there was one. Saxon have played to much bigger crowds in the past 15 years than the 1800 the Sheffield Arena can contain, and in England too no less. Xzamuel 02:10, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Saxon Logo.png

message: ...is listed in the brief note about the Harvey Goldsmith show as 20,000. Think it is more like 2,000 ant this is either a typo or just an error. Short of Earls Court/O2 arena I don't think any indoor venues hold 20,000 in th UK. Does anyone know the actual capacity of the venue? Sanctuary73 12:21, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Needs it's own page. I put information in here, in the hope of splitting it up later. But I've ended up not having time (stupid Van Halen reunion ruining my attempt at fixing up the Van Halen page by dramatically upping the workload).
