March 23, 2010, 14 years ago
Coolhead Production has issued the following update in regards to SAXON's Heavy Metal Thunder documentary DVD, as well as an exclusive listing of the finished product's contents:
"Sincere apologies for the continued delay in getting the DVDs of Saxon: Heavy Metal Thunder out to you. As well as the extra footage found by Biff (see his note below), Paul Quinn has also just managed to scan his photo archive and has emailed it to us for inclusion in the film. That’s all done now, and we can exclusively tell you that the DVD is on its way to be manufactured today!! It will be two weeks before it gets sent out to you all.It won't be long now and we honestly can't wait for you to see it. It's been a true labour of love, one that we've enjoyed making with you, and we greatly value your patience and support, as do Saxon. Without you, this film could not have been made. There's no doubt in our minds that when you sit down to watch the film, and all of the amazing extras we’ve crammed in (over 6 hours worth of material, with even more stuff which we’re planning to make available online to purchasers), you'll agree it’s been worth the wait."
We can now reveal a finalised list of the DVD contents:
· Heavy Metal Thunder – The Movie
· Saxon Live in Germany in 1981
· St George’s Day concert 2008
· The Eagle & The Bomber – on tour with MOTÖRHEAD, ’79 – ‘09
· On A Crusade – Archive interviews from recording Crusader
· No Excuses – Archive footage from the Innocence Is No Excuse recording sessions
· Building The Labyrinth – Recording Into The Labyrinth
Says Biff: "We’re being featured in next month’s Classic Rock Magazine – we’re part of a feature on rock documentaries, and a specially-edited 15-minute segment of the film is being included on a free DVD given away with the magazine. It tells the tale of Saxon’s first tour with Motörhead in 1979 and is very entertaining. It’s slightly different to the version on the actual DVD because we were only allowed to use two music tracks on the Classic Rock segment (there’s loads of music on the full DVD version)."
