Saxon - Hellfest 2024 - ARTE Concert

A famed group among headbanging historians, Saxon are here at Hellfest to conquer new lands while consolidating the old guard. Despite a solid legacy of influencing everyone from Dream Theater to Slayer, Saxon have never let up and continue to release new material at an astonishing pace.

man... when a 70 year old, after a 40+ year career sings better than most of the "modern" singers. No auto-tune, no backing tracks, just a few dudes and their instruments... bravo...

what "modern" singers do you refer to, exactly

[@DigitalMirrorComputing]

@@user-rg6te3sp7v anyone that without auto-tune would be out a job! That involves a wide sample of artists if you ask me. And btw let me tell you, I am not even a fan of Saxon.

These guys are unflappable and still can go! Their last CD was incredible and arguably one of their best!

[@ballbreathtaker9773]

Their last album is one of their top 3 albums after their first 5 albums which have defined what Saxon is.

[@griefforest1870]

@@ballbreathtaker9773I agree. Their last two decades have been nothing but spectacular but now and then there's an album which is still greater than the others. For me Lionheart, Into the Labyrinth, Thunderbolt and the new one easily stack up next to their early 80s material.

[@markokukkonen2907]

I Love Lionheart that was for me that album that take me to Big Saxon fan again then i love Into the labyrinth and also inner Sanctum Metalhead is Masterpiece album then Sacrifice album and Battering Ram is amazing and Thunderbolt and the lastest album Is masteralbum

Biff is 73 here! But mother nature nor father time have been able to affect his pipes. If anything, he seems to have (even) more power in the lower registers than before. Class act!

[@greg-warsaw4708]

@@jirkahympl5570 Yes, one of the oldest drummers to keep up at that level of intensity and effort. Ted McKenna was sensational for Michael Schenker's Fest (power gun -like double bass drums) but sadly died unexpectedly at 70, a couple of years ago.

[@ianowen9717]

@@greg-warsaw4708 Had the pleasure to meet and chat with Ted Mckenna around 2015 when he was touring with Gerry McAvoy's Band of Friends. Very interesting and likeable individual who recounted a fair few tales of life on the road and in the studio with the Alex Harvey Band and Rory Gallagher. Ted was always in demand as a session drummer with a variety of differing bands and artiest, including Womack and Womack. His passing whilst undergoing a fairly routine hernia operation was both sad and unexpected. R.I.P. Ted.

Hi Luke, i´m 64 now and grew up with DEEP PURPLE. At that time there was Heavy Metal an anknown world. But listen to riffs of FLIGHT OF THE RAT and BURN. That was Heavy Metal already. Many greetings from Germany. Viele Grüße aus Deutschland🙂

[@arthurboyce6888]

My first real exposure to Saxon.... I've been familiar with the name alongside Accept, Iron Maiden and Judas Priest for a while but never really gave them a chance..... I'm super glad that I clicked on this video!! 🎸🔥🤘

[@Lovemate5571]

Seen them numerous times when they were in their prime. To be honest: today they are not what they once were - but then who is? And given that Biff is an incredible 73 years of age he can still light it up - I know some people younger than him who don't come close to his stamina and energy.

[@RandyFricke]

It's great seeing these classic bands still bringing it. Accept's set was really good.
