RockDrop - Metal Memory: Biff Byford from Saxon

"Metal Memory" is another RockDrop where I ask my guests for their most enduring memory from the world of metal. Today's guest is Biff Byford from Saxon who recalls interesting times on the road with Motorhead in the 70's!

I have fond memories of seeing Motorhead and Saxon on the Bomber tour in 1979. 🎸 😊

Saxon , one of the most influential metal bands on the planet that don't really get the recognition they deserve ...... and the bands played on 😉

43 years ago Saxon was taking a young upstart band on the road, called Blizzard of ozz featuring a whiz kid named Randy Rhoads.

That's a great fact to share. Thank you Dave. RIP Randy.

I got to support Saxon at somewhere like LA2 back in the day, and they were nice chaps! I heard a really funny story as well but I definitely have to keep it to myself, unfortunately haha.

Hahaha! What happens on the road, stays on the road. :)
