AC/DC records still kick arse whereas Saxon sound like a Spinal Tap tribute band.

:twisted:

Thats funny because Spinal tap is in part based on Saxon's bass player.
I liked Britney Fox but they were always a poor mans version of Cinderella

Anyone else suddenly think they were an influence on The Darkness though?

Cinderella on the other hand:

The vocalists of Cinderella and Britny Fox sound exactly the same. And for neither of them is it a good thing.

you DOOUUN NOU WHAART YOO GOT... TILLETZ GAAAWW-AAAW-awwwn

Such a shame, becuase I love glam. And their solos are great.

It's probably a long shot, but did anyone ever check out James Labrie's old band Winter Rose? That's good glam right there.

I think Cinderella were undoubtedly the better band, but they went downhill fast after the first album - started taking themselves too seriously. Long Cold Winter bores me to tears, it only has 2 or 3 good tracks (worth buying just for "Bad Seamstress Blues/Fallin' Apart At The Seams", though - awesome song). Oh, and I think Tom Kiefer has a great voice.

Whereas Britny Fox were sort of average, but they maintained their standards of average-ness.

(To use a slasher movie analogy, Cinderella were the Halloween series and Britny Fox were Friday the 13th.

slightly disagree. Yes, Long Cold Winter is a bit rubbish, but Heartbreak Station is good and Still Climbing is brilliant! i love that album, totally different from Night Songs, but fantastic. in fact Night Songs and Still Climbing are two of my all time favourite albums.

:D Yep Saxons lyrics were & are simply Spinal Tap`ish, but there music certainly wasn`t. Strong Arm Of The Law has some of the best most accessable Metal guitar riffs you`ll ever hear. One of the finest Metal albums ever recorded imho.

:D 8)

Harry Shearer went on tour with Saxon for a while to learn the moves, so yes they're certainly an influence on the film. I think the comic interplay between Nigel & David is based on Status Quo.

I actually liked some of Cinderella's stuff - Gypsy Road was a good song and the Heartbreak Station record had some crackin songs (saw them on that tour). Never heard the album they did after that but I'm assuming they moved further into that Stones direction (???)
