Switching Gears-Steel Panther to Saxon

Lemmy Kilmister- Born December 24th, 1945 in Stoke on Trent, England. Founding member of Motörhead. Doesn't get much more serious than that. Yet, after a show like that of Steel Panther, I can say that so matter how serious or not you may be, The Metal commands reverence.

Respect your elders!!!!

Saxon- English Heavy Metal Band formed in 1976. Yeah, Saxon has been rockin' longer than I have been alive! That means that these guys have been around the block a time or two. They were among the Vanguard, carrying the banner of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. In the beginning, Saxon would share the stage with more established acts like that of Lemmy's Motörhead. While many people have never heard of Saxon, know who has? How about Iron Maiden? Maybe Judas Priest? Saxon not only had their place set the the British Heavy Metal Banquet, but they also heavily influenced many other bands including Megadeth and Metallica. There is no doubt that Saxon has earned their place on the Hallowed Ground of Heavy Metal with the best of them. So... bow your head... fold your arms... and enjoy
