Who should we film with next?

[@dr.phibesinred6066]

Have you filmed Iron Maiden yet? That would be cool. You could even film their Ed Force One. Kind of "Plane Invaders"... What about Slayer? I don't think you filmed them in their bus.

[@Denmark_1974]

Pretty Maids.

[@bagofbones95]

Mötley Crüe!!

[@elvissorna8861]

Dark Angel

Absolute legend. Love SAXON

They're awesome!

This is the band that rock legends view as legends!!!

[@digitaltourbus]

They're a great band!

[@zanmyers8611]

Saw these guys in Denver a couple years ago. They're just as good as they've always been. Kick ass.

[@digitaltourbus]

They're great!

[@wishbonemusic]

Great Bus Biff. I bet you always dreamt of that status inn the early days of Coast, Sob etc and the Changes in Barnsley. Those non the less where great days and me and my mates sat and watched you there many times. I remember at one period you the band were using H&H amps with all their colourful dials on them and I one day dreamt of having those as well as the Cherry Red SG that the guitarist at that time has. I've got the SG but not the H&H [they went bust] so i have a couple of nice amps now a Marshall and a few Fenders Amps too. No bus though!

[@LeoMessiGoat1986]

Biff doing his best Wayne impression is gold

[@digitaltourbus]

Thanks for watching.

I was at that St. Charles show. It was a great show. Saxon kicks ass.

[@smokesletsgo2374]

I like the "get the fuck out of here" at the end. That's how your best friends talk to you

[@moonwork4378]

Sacrifice💀🤘🏻. I love Saxon’s music!

[@digitaltourbus]

They're great!

[@MCDLHOTP]

Cool video, and they seem to have one of the best buses I've seen on this channel. They deserve it! Seems to be the exact same one that Queensryche had two years later, they also had Marilyn Monroe in the bathroom. Edit: I just watched the Uli Jon Roth video, and it seems like his band may have had this bus right before Saxon. Biff said that they switched buses, and Uli Jon Roth finished his US tour that spring March 18th, and Saxon started theirs March 9th. Some of my favorite artists on the same bus!

[@digitaltourbus]

A lot of buses rent from the same company, so sometimes we see the same bus a few times.

[@Howdy699]

Love Saxon. Incredible band and Biff is a legendary singer.

[@digitaltourbus]

🤘

[@elvissorna8861]

Biff is absolutely adorable

[@digitaltourbus]

He's great!

[@deandufresne3053]

Great little video. I was at that show in St. Charles and did the meet and greet. That usually takes place on the bus but since they were running late (due to the filming of this video) and it was raining out, the meet and greet took place during the sound check which was just as cool. Nice to see the inside of bus finally.

[@digitaltourbus]

This video was filmed pretty early in the day. I don't believe this conflicted with the meet & greet. I believe we filmed this around 1pm that day.

[@deandufresne3053]

Good to know...it all worked out well. Believe me, I'm not complaining - it was pretty cool to check out Saxon's sound check. Great video...

[@robmlisanti]

Thanks for sharing! I just met them in NJ last friday and they were the nicest guys... Biff is very cool

[@anatudor]

We got to see soundchecks as part of the meet & greets on a regular basis this autumn. It was cool. First we attended the soundcheck, then went on stage to meet them and got group photos - everybody in the photo for the band's social media, then each and every one of us got a photo with a band, then we went to the bar/ any table-like thing around and they signed stuff and you could get more individual photos with each and every band member... I may have been the one who started this last thing when I got an individual photo with Biff. 🤔 All very relaxed, not rushed, not assembly line style, they even ask if anyone still wants anything else before leaving. At the show in Stuttgart, I brought them a box of truffles from a chocolate shop I first went into because I thought the name resembled "Lucifer". I told Biff about it and he took a closer look at the label - "oh, it does!" 😂 I was honestly expecting a "your head's screwed on the wrong way, kid..." kind of reaction... 😂 For anyone considering the meet & greet and still unsure: it's more than worth it! I only regret not going to more shows. They're such an exciting live band and such lovely humans!

So far the best bus video

[@digitaltourbus]

So glad you liked it!!

[@marinhrabric6162]

well it's saxon after all and the part "this where we keep the bassist, who's talking to his wife" is hilarious

[@scorpions1965]

Absolute legends, respect

[@ais6863]

Cool... but best known for Ride Like The Wind?? LOL What about Wheels Of Steel, Denim & Leather, 747 (Strangers in the Night) and so on?

[@digitaltourbus]

Those aren't necessarily the biggest songs they have, but I don't think anyone is going to always 100% agree with that kind of information.

[@ais6863]

sure, but Ride Like The Wind is not even a Saxon song, it's a cover, from an album not that popular among fans, like Destiny... just saying, all good.

[@hmpz36911]

AIS I'm a Denim And Leather fan but Ride Like The Wind is a great cover

[@ais6863]

didn't say it's bad... uploader's "Saxon is best known for their songs “Princess of the Night” and “Ride Like the Wind” "sounds funny to me, that's all... key words "best known"

[@jaecrowther7869]

I like all there albums some more than Others but on every album there wii allways a few good tunes

[@BoyAditya]

i appreciated you guys!! saxon is a legend! i hope DTB got a chance meeting ASIA or Journey ... btw ASIA's guitarist is a youtuber!!!. I hope when they comes to Chicago, they will let you guys in to their bus.

[@digitaltourbus]

It's doubtful, but we'll try. It's completely up to them, not us unfortunately.

[@Howdy699]

I love this band!!!

[@digitaltourbus]

They're great!

Nicely done man, Saxon are great. Could you try and do one of Dragonforce? They're touring the states in July I think!

[@digitaltourbus]

Glad you liked it! We've tried to get Dragonforce. It's completely up to them, not us unfortunately.

[@seryi9447]

do bands stop in hotels or they do the whole tour in the bus? thanks

[@digitaltourbus]

It depends based on the bands budget and priorities. Some bands will get "day-rooms" at hotels so they can shower.

[@alankawakami8568]

​@digitaltourbus Shower and Poo 💩 since they can only Pee on the bus!!!!!😂🙉😝
