Yorkshire Post reports: An unusual record attempt made at Sheffield Wednesday's Hillsborough ground [in the United Kingdom] on Saturday (Jan. 20) may yet make it into the next "Guinness World Records" book — despite a lack of enthusiasm from the 29,100 fans who were there.

Veteran South Yorkshire rock band SAXON were aiming for a record in a new category — the largest-ever air guitar ensemble.

The rockers came out on the pitch at half-time during the Owls' game with Sunderland and tried to persuade the crowd to join in, air-guitar style, with them.

But it looked as if SAXON's status as local heroes had faded since they came out of Barnsley to ride the heavy metal wave of the 1980s — their performance was greeted with boos rather than the enthusiasm they were hoping for. What was worse, Wednesday lost 4-2.

Yesterday SAXON were on their way to Germany, but a spokesman for the band said a Guinness Publishing representative who witnessed the event had given them a certificate saying the record would be recognized, subject to evidence that at least some of the crowd had taken part.

The spokesman, Paul McEntee, said: "Wednesday were 2-0 down and their fans did not want to know but I have videotape of some of the Sunderland contingent joining in."

"We knew we'd recorded a good album; we just didn't know it was that good …" recalls SAXON frontman Biff Byford of 1980's breakthrough album "Wheels Of Steel".

For over thirty years, SAXON has been led from the front by charismatic and larger-than-life vocalist Biff Byford. In "Never Surrender", he tells his story for the first time, from his working class childhood as a terribly shy schoolboy in Yorkshire through the mega-days of the early Eighties to the band's twenty-first century rise to fame once more. Sometimes tragic, sometimes funny, but always brutally honest, "Never Surrender" lifts the lid on the myths surrounding SAXON, as well as revealing the hard work and heartaches it takes to make it to the top and stay there.

Co-author John Tucker is a music writer and photographer with a keen interest in — some would say obsession with — heavy metal. His first book, "Suzie Smiled… The New Wave Of British Heavy Metal", was published in 2006.

"Saxon - Never Surrender (Or Nearly Good Looking): An Autobiography By Biff Byford And John Tucker", ISBN 978-3-931624-44-6, will be published via I.P. Publishing in April 2007. Distribution in the U.K. will be handled by Gazelle Book Services Limited.

"The MÖTLEY CRÜE tour was the highpoint of sexual adventures, but just the whole American thing really was where most of the groupies were. And like I said, I nearly died from too much sex and too many shows … I remember us playing this gig and I looked up at the side of the stage and Tommy Lee's there, having a blowjob while he's watching us. Talk about off-putting!"
