Saxon and Deep Purple is something I have wanted to see for years, Purple has been in need of a power/heavy metal retool ever since the 80's and Biff is one of the few who could do it justice
I met the band in NY a few years ago, and told them they were the band that gets better with age.... and they keep proving me right. Rock and Roll hall of fame amazingness
Proving as always that Saxon are and will be, the undisputed kings of rock and roll metal. These guys are all incredible musicians. I have seen them twice. Once in massachusetts in the states and once at sweden rock 2019 and both times they blew me away with their precision.
Saxon wants again rocks us to the core, Biff's voice, Paul Quinn and Doug Scarrett's searing guitar, Nibbs Carter's smooth bassline, and my favorite: Nigel "The Glock" Glockler pounding those drums!
i was a little kid, in the mid 80's.i was going to my older brothers room when he wasnt there and listening his LPs.Deep Purle was my favorite...and then one day i found a cassete, with a knight in the cover.it was crusader.i think im a metalhead since then.thank you Saxon for what you gave and what continue to give
Ohhh yeahhh...! :) A brilliant interpretation of a great classic song! All the best for great frontman of metal band in this special day! Happy birdhday Biff!:)
It's about fucking time someone covered this song. I used to play it all the time live. Deep Purple in Rock is an amazing Album that this song came from
Biff doing Gillan, never ever in my life would I have seen that comin! Byford on his oown don't need no Gillan but payin homage is pretty cool, Mr Byford has turned out to be a musical freigh train, keep rollin on!
Happy 70th Birthday Biff Byford! 🤘
Wow it sounds horrible ...70th birthday
@@davidknichal6629 What? They say everyone and everything gets better when you get older.
@@EyeCandyAthleteobviously but probably the only case a person gets better at the age of 60 or 70 is Rob Halford, man
@@davidknichal6629 Rob is awesome!
I thought he was 69?

How on earth is Biff's voice so good....used to see them in the early 80's and his voice is absolutely 100 times better now.... thats just mad.
saw them at rambling man a few years ago abs was stunned how good his voice was ! whole hand great too 😬
@@stuforty2 It has a lot to do with feel and technique and everything in between
Laying off booze and cigarettes helps
He's amongst the chosen ones with Glenn Hughes and Bruce Dickinson.
@@kutnersuicide They are awesome as well
So many cover songs sucks. But this one rocks. Saxon is still going strong after so many years.
There is no such thing as a bad Saxon album and that will never change
Yes, it IS. I know it is the TRUTH.
Biff and his camp always had a huge spot on Purple, Rainbow and Ritchie. Well done Saxon!
SAXON: a high-class Band as usual ! this Cover was perfect ! Spectacular !

Few could do Ian Gillan justice but Biff is one of them! What a voice 🤘
It has absolutely nothing to do with Ian's voice, you're trippin
Great version of this classic song. Big thumbs up to Saxon. Suspect any Deep Purple member hearing this will love it.
Saxon is today even more heavy than in '80s when their songs I had on my everyday menu. Long live HM. Hail from Croatia.
Long live Saxon
Long live Deep Purple
Long live heavy metal
Long live rock and roll

Deep Purple and Saxon two of the greats.
Not only for their past but too for their present are one of the best bands of the world... Long Live the Loud!

@@GRILLBUOY101 What would Jon, Roger, Paice and Gillan say among Don Airey and Steve Morse?
Just want to say that Biff in his 70s sounds soooo awesome, I'm so proud of him🤘 He's my hero🤘😎

With Biff Byford on vocals, what was good is spectacular.
