SAXON Frontman Comments On METALLICA Performance: \'It Was F**king Cool\'

Vocalist Biff Byford of British heavy metal legends SAXON offered a brief comment to U.K.'s Metal Hammer magazine regarding his appearance with METALLICA last night (Thursday, April 2) at Palais Omnisport de Bercy in Paris, France to perform the SAXON classic "Motorcycle Man".

According to Biff, he found out he was going to be performing with METALLICA only a short time before the band hit the stage.

"I didn't know until 15 minutes before (they went on)," said Biff. "It was fucking cool though!"

Watch professionally filmed video footage of the performance below.

When METALLICA played Sheffield Arena on February 28, 2009, they invited as VIP guests former SAXON members Graham Oliver and Steve Dawson.

At the Sheffield gig, Graham, 56, met up with METALLICA's James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett and Lars Ulrich — who remain huge fans of SAXON's early-1980s heyday.

"In 1982 SAXON played the Whisky a Go-Go on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood," Graham explained to SouthYorkshireTimes.co.uk. "It was sold out and Steve and me were asked if we would pick out a support band from a pile of cassettes sent in by young metal bands. METALLICA were far and away the best and even though it was only their second-ever gig; we saw their potential and picked them out to play. We have been friends ever since.

"They have always had a soft spot for us. Over the years they have cited us as a big influence and we are always welcomed at their gigs around the world.

"METALLICA have played Sheffield three times and they always treat us as VIPs.

At Rock Am Ring — Germany's biggest rock festival — they played part of our song 'Princess Of The Night'. I wrote that riff in a council house in Dryden Road. Back then we were just some kids from Mexborough who once had a dream.

"To be supported by the band which became one of the biggest in the world, I think that is pretty special.

"We were sat in the auditorium at Sheffield and they played the old SAXON track 'Heavy Metal Thunder' as their intro track. Kirk Hammett (METALLICA guitarist) told me he loves the solo in that. They played in the round and it was very loud but it was a very pure sound.

"James Hetfield (the singer) is a lovely bloke, but their drummer Lars Ulrich is probably the biggest SAXON fan of them all. He told us that our 1980 album 'Wheels of Steel' is his favorite and said it was a benchmark for them. It is hard for someone of my generation to see that. When I meet someone who played at the Woodstock Festival I am enthusiastic about it — I suppose it is the same for them.

"We were one of the bands to play in the first Donington Festival and METALLICA were a bit in awe and asked us what those days were like".

так Grahаm Oliver и Steve Dawson не являются учасниками Саксонов, они уже давно ушли из группы

Та кто с Метлой играл Бифф или Оливер с Доусоном???? Вместе они не могли так ка они перегрызлись между собой и даже судились за название Саксон

"Я написал рифф этой песни в доме консула на Dryden Road. "
:-)
council house - - это муниципальный дом, в таких живут люди, по разным причинам не имеющие своего собственного жилья.
