SAXON Members Perform With Tribute Band; Video Available

October 12, 2010

SAXON members Nigel Glockler (drums) and Doug Scarratt (guitar) joined the SAXON tribute band GHOAD on stage at the Brightona Festival in Brighton, U.K. on Sunday, October 10 to perform two SAXON songs, "Dallas 1pm" and "Denim and Leather". Fan-filmed video footage of their appearance can be viewed below (courtesy of Graham Horne).

SAXON's recently released DVD, "Heavy Metal Thunder - The Movie", is a six-hour-long limited special edition package containing a feature-length documentary, two classic concerts and a series of often-hilarious mini-films. The documentary film tells the full warts-and-all story of 30 years of heartache, earache, success and excess. Produced by critically acclaimed documentary filmmakers Coolhead, it not only has contributions from SAXON, past and present, but also from the likes of Lars Ulrich (METALLICA),Lemmy and "Fast" Eddie Clarke (MOTÖRHEAD),Harvey Goldsmith, AIRBOURNE, AMON AMARTH, Doro Pesch and many, many others. It also features freshly-uncovered archive material, including the band performing in 1979 on MOTÖRHEAD's "Bomber" tour, recording sessions and interviews from the "Crusader" and "Innocence is No Excuse" albums, a classic concert from 1981, along with stunning headline performances at Wacken Open Air in 2009 and the now-legendary inaugural St. George's Day show in London. The whole production was funded by SAXON's army of loyal fans, who pre-ordered copies of the film before it was completed, providing Coolhead with the budget to make the film.
