Metalexpressradio.com recently interviewed Biff Byford, the old-ass dude from British metal band Saxon. Ok, so the guy is only 57 and other rockers may still be going at an older age, but this dude looks older than 57. Who cares.? Anyway, he talks about the future of Saxon and their 2007 release, Inner Sanctum.

Although they had a leading roll in the NWOBHM movement, Saxon never really broke into the U.S. heavy metal scene the way most of the other bands in the movement did.
Starting orignally as Son Of A Bitch with line up Biffy Byford on vocals, Paul Quinn and Graham Oliver on guitars, Pete Gill on drums and Steve Dawson on bass but shortly changed their nameto Saxon and started touring as support with more established bands such as Motorhead (You’ll see them tomorrow) .
