SAXON: WHERE'S THE BIFF?

Few heavy metal bands can boast of drinking a lot of tea—but Saxon can! They used up 19,500 tea bags in just four months time during their 1982 tour. That’s a fact that you and I—hell, even the fantastic editors of METAL—would certainly want to remember years from now.

SAXON: WHERE'S THE BIFF?

Joanne Carnegie

Few heavy metal bands can boast of drinking a lot of tea—but Saxon can! They used up 19,500 tea bags in just four months time during their 1982 tour. That’s a fact that you and I—hell, even the fantastic editors of METAL—would certainly want to remember years from now.

Did I hear someone mumble “Who are Saxon?” You mean?...Funny you should ask—have a seat—I was just about to determine the whos and hows, the wheres and whens, and of course always, the whys of this almighty Saxon.

The names Def Leppard and Iron Maiden should bang a gong to all “hip” metalheads by now. After all, both groups have toured the U.S. a zillion times— especially Iron Maiden, they’ve toured America 22 times so far (for number buffs), but I’m not too sure about Def’s #’s, and I’m not too sure I care to research that one—not just yet.
