Un petit tour au Razzmatazz ne serait pas pour me déplaire...

Punaise je veux Anvil aussi

C'est la première fois depuis longtemps que le groupe ne joue pas en France...

La fin de SPV y est pour quelquechose???

Sinon l'affiche est trè belle...

Tu parles de Saxon ou Anvil? Parce que jusqu'à nouvel ordre, Metz c'est en France hein!
Ah oui, non pardon...c'est pas Paris

Tu veux Anvil ?
Ben ce coup ci ce sera à la campagne....

guardianofsteel a écrit :Ah oui, non pardon...c'est pas Paris

Autant pour moi, je n'avais pas vu Metz

guardianofsteel a écrit :Ah oui, non pardon...c'est pas Paris

Tu es tout excusé car comme j'habite à Toulon, ou que j'aille c'est toujours loin...

de toute manière ANVIL c'est pour la tournée UK only
pour le reste de l'europe c'est SUIDAKRA ( aurait pu pendre autre chose comme guest)

Vont nous jouez le premier opus en enter ????

je ne sais pas si les concerts de saxon, ça sera le même show sur la tourné qu'en fest, mais hier soir au Alkatraz c'était la tuerie

Ils sont redevenus le super jukebox, ou la setlist figée comme récemment?

Même si c'est hors sujet, c'était comment Ross the Boss?

Byff a chopé un virus à la gorge, deux semaines de repos, donc des dates repoussées mais tickets toujours valables:

British metal legends SAXON have postponed their previously announced European dates due to singer Biff Byford contracting a throat virus yesterday (October 4). Doctors have said Biff needs two weeks' rest before he can resume touring. This will **NOT** affect the band's U.K. shows in November with ANVIL and SUIDAKRA.

The rescheduled European dates are as follows:

March 14 - Munich, Germany - Theaterfabrik
March 15 - Milan, Italy - Live Club
March 16 - Bologna, Italy - Estragon
March 18 - Prattein, Switzerland - Z-7
March 19 - Woergl, Austria - Komma
March 20 - Leipzig, Germany - Hellraiser
March 21 - Stuttgart, Germany - Longhorn
March 23 - Wiesbaden, Germany - Schlachthof
March 24 - Bochum, Germany - Matrix
March 25 - Aarhus, Denmark -Train
March 26 - Lund, Sweden - Mejeriet
March 27 - Hardenberg, Netherlands - Podium

A new trailer for the upcoming documentary on SAXON, "Heavy Metal Thunder - The Movie", can be viewed below.

U.K.'s Coolhead Productions is putting the finishing touches on "Heavy Metal Thunder - The Movie". The film, which is expected to be released in November, celebrates the group's 30th anniversary. Produced by the makers of the critically acclaimed "Ian Gillan: Highway Star" (Universal, 2007), it not only has contributions from members of SAXON, past and present, but also from the likes of Lars Ulrich (METALLICA); Lemmy, "Fast" Eddie Clarke, Phil Campbell, Mikkey Dee (MOTÖRHEAD); Harvey Goldsmith, Danko Jones, Doro Pesch and many, many others. It will also feature plenty of rare archive material and previously unseen concert footage, from the classic 1980s lineup to the brilliant St. George's Day show in 2008 and Wacken Open Air in 2009. A special limited edition of "Heavy Metal Thunder - The Movie" will contain a feature-length documentary, at least two never-before-seen concert films and plenty of revealing extra content.

If you pre-buy a plush special limited edition of "Heavy Metal Thunder - The Movie" containing a feature-length documentary, at least TWO never-seen-before concert films and plenty of revealing extra content, you will get your name on the credits and become an associate producer, allowing you to influence the content of the film by sending your suggestions to the filmmakers. You will also have the chance of winning one of five pairs of VIP passes to next year's Wacken Open Air festival AND the chance to meet SAXON singer Biff Byford and the rest of the band on their next tour.

"We're relying on our fans here and I know you’ll do us proud," said Byford. "SAXON have a great story to tell and some bloody fantastic songs to celebrate. I think you'll agree it needs to be done properly, so get your orders in now. This will be one of the best rock docs you’ll ever see."

The special limited edition of "Heavy Metal Thunder - The Movie" will cost £25 (GBP). It will be shipped out as soon as it's complete, before the end of November 2009.
