Thank you Graham 🎶🎸
Quinn/ Oliver guitar duo were so exciting back in the early 80s and their music has stood the test of time !
Oliver and Quinn were the originals and the best duo Saxon ever had.
I saw your Grandad at Stafford Bingley Hall in 1981. Epic gig and I still have Wheels of Steel in my car stereo, on CD. 🎉 Thanks for the music and memories.
Excellent stuff! Your granddad is a major hero for me, and one of the reasons I picked up a guitar. For a man who has penned so many of the best riffs in metal, he is a humble gentleman, and always comes across as a really warm and likable person - Qualities he has clearly passed on to you - so he is a legend in my eyes. There are very few things as fun to learn on guitar as classic Saxon songs. All the best to you both!
Glad I stumbled across this interview! I started listening to Saxon in the early 80s; it was a small crew of us at my middle school that knew of them. Saw Saxon in 1982 at the Santa Monica Civic opening for Accept during the Power & the Glory tour. What a show!
Fantastic interview, Saxon albums in the 80's bring back so many good memories ,saw them numerous times and recently too on the Hell,Fire and Damnation tour .I can see your so proud of your Grandad ,long may he continue to ROCK ❤.
Saw your Grandad last with O/D few years ago, you must be chuffed knowing he's made some of the finest music this country has made, and made millions upon millions of people very happy. This is a lovely interview and you both come over great, much love!
Seen your Grandad live on a few occasions. My favourite Saxon guitarist of all time. Certainly knew how to get the best out of a Gibson SG. What an honour to watch this. Best wishes to you both. Thank you for sharing. 🎸❤
Your granddad was a big part of my youth we loved to see Saxon at every opportunity we had including that donnington day i still have my ticket so will you please thank dear Graham for all the joy he brought us and let him know my ears are still ringing . Brilliant interview thanks for doing it 😊😊😊😊😊
What a tribute to your grandad! I was fortunate to see him on the Iron Maiden Tour in 83' and it was a huge influence and I feel so lucky to have experienced that concert! Thanks again!!!
I saw your grandfather play in 1983 in El Paso, Texas USA. Changed my life for ever!
Saw your Grandad with Saxon at the Hammersmith Odeon in 1981. A brilliant band live and your Grandad was a magic guitar player. If they had stuck together they would have broken the American market. They deserved to be huge!
Saw Graham several times with Saxon. My favourite member of this great band, always loved his stage acting. Had the pleasure to meet him backstage in Dittigheim, Germany with OD Saxon @The Harder than steel-Festival in 2018. Graham is a true legend! Wish you both all the best. 🙂
Saxon were the first Heavy Metal band I ever heard. And I've loved them ever since.
Your Grandad was the sound of Saxon. That sustain he had on his white SG was brilliant.
Glad he is still playing.
Enjoyed the interview. I remember being at school as a 15 yr old in 1986. It was a great time for music, and lots of other cultural/current affairs etc. Towards the end of that year one of my mates gave me a copy of Saxon's 'Rock the Nations' record. A perfect end to a significant year. Cheers to you and your Grandad.
Saw you live in Cardiff many years ago, loud and great thanks.
I grew up near Steve and Graham, and both of them would encourage young musicians, including myself top set of blokes
melting my heart, so much support and love between you both⭐️
Great interview Libby .... I first met your grandad around 1981 I was working on an Oil Rig drilling for coal in Chester, very late one night at the B&B we were staying in there was a knock on the door I answered it and standing there was 5 long haired rockers with no where to stay luckily the B&B had rooms so I booked them in and we've been friends ever since .... The last time I saw your Grandad was at his and your Mum's joint Birthday party in Bawtry..... Great night, great memories ........... Roger
What a wonderful interview , i bet its just fantastic having Graham Oliver as a grandad .
When i was a young lad way back in 1980, Saxon was one of my all time fave bands.
''And the bands played on'' ... my fave Saxon song .
Lovely to see your Grandad. Please say hello from me. Best regards, Jason 'Music Ground/Stafford Galli'.
Top band Saxon I've always been into them great video
True Legend ! Spent a lot of time in my teenage years ( 1980s ) air-soloing to Dallas 1pm , Machine Gun, Power and the Glory ,etc ! And still tuned in in my late 50s. Hail Saxon ! Hail Graham !
Legend, used to know Graham from working in guitar shop in Doncaster. Was always a great chat when he breezed in, normally just getting back from America. Take care Graham.
Yeah your grandad is a legend, Saxon were a fabric of my youth, great 👍 video subbed cheers 🍻🍻🍻
Young lady, can you pass my best wishes, and thank you to him, for the many great memories, he gave me, when I saw him many times, and too you, I wish you a great future, in your life.
This was a pleasure to watch, particularly as I was a big Saxon fan back in the '80s. I was sorry to hear your comment that your grandad has Parkinson's, and hope the progression is extremely slow.
Cool Grandad. Love at bit of early Saxon 👍
You are right to be proud of your grandad Libby. I first saw him play in a little club in Bradford in 1978. That was the day my life changed forever and I became a metalhead. I am 62 now and still go see Saxon and your grandad's band whenever they play. He and others like him have been a big part of many peoples lives for a long time. He's a proud Yorkshireman too which is just as good as being a rock superstar. Good luck and keep on with your interviews. Try do one with Paul Q or Brian Shaughnessy - that would be fun to watch 🎸
I remember Saxon because of his Mustache!! he always kept it! great band
Loved it Libby. Ive done some gigs with your Grandad, he is a top bloke and fun to be around
Denim and leather…brought us all together…timeless
I have seen your Grandad many times over the years including the first Donnington Monsters of Rock, always one of my favourite guitarists , some of his solos are unbelievable ,ask him does he remember the power failure at the Manchester Apollo gig I think in 82 or 83 , it lasted about 15 minutes and when Saxon came back on there was the biggest cheer ever ,I remember it like it was yesterday I was 19 years old ....
Love his shirt-I've been there many times!
saw saxon in 82(NYC) and again in 85(spring valley ny) in 85 they played two shows in one night. that's energy. fav song is power and the glory. 2nd is dallas 1pm. that's what they opened with in NYC
Well done, great interview!
The country that kept SAXON alive for many years was Germany!
Right, I saw them several times through out the nineties in Germany, this was their "comeback". Great memories 😊
i just knew he wer frum the doncaster area. i can tell that donny twang from anywhere. all of my late Mums family are from donny. reet great hear your grandpops talk
I saw them support Motorhead on the Bomber tour.... the other guitarist had a guitar he span around and Graham at the end ran around the stage naked and climbed on, i think; netting that was part of the stage furniture at the back of the stage.... haha
Amazing !!!!
❤❤❤❤
Awesome 🤘
looks like we're on the same page with favorite songs
Great Bloke!
Wheels of Steel, Strong arm of the Law and Denim and Leather, a Triumvirate of class
Edit: ah those were the days…I was 16 in 1980, and Monsters of Rock was an amazing experience for me, my first festival (of sorts). My first gig was AC/DC 1978 Hammy O. Big fan of Saxon, especially the classic era 🤘
Thanks Libby, does your Grandad still have any of his older Gibson guitars?
🎸🤘
Uses to go see yer grandad at Sheffield city hall in late 70,s ,early 80s
Why did he leave Saxon?
This is great. I lost Saxon when Dawson and Oliver was out. I cant stand todays "Saxon",its crap in my humble opinion. Many of you crying now but like i said..my opinion folks.
he looks a bit like benny hill now - impersonating graham oliver ....lol
