In a 2015 interview with 100 Percent Rock magazine, SAXON frontman Biff Byford spoke about the difficulty of putting together setlist for the band’s tours. He said: “Yeah, it is difficult with the setlist, because you can’t play for as long as we’d like. It’s difficult to please people, because you get quite a lot of new fans that come to concerts, they want to hear the old songs, and some of the guys that have been coming for years have heard the old songs too much and they want something new, so it’s a nightmare.

“You can never please everyone and it’s actually a bit stupid trying, really,” he continued. “Just put some good songs together and promote the new album, and that’s where to be, really.”

Byford added that he is mostly proud of all SAXON has achieved in its forty-year existence.

“Have SAXON achieved everything I initially dreamed the band could? More or less,” he said. “There were certainly countries we probably could have been bigger in. Australia’s one of them, places like that. I don’t think our management at that time really thought we’d ever be anything more than a British band, you know what I mean? I don’t think their vision included the world.

“It is a shame, because I think ‘Wheels Of Steel’ and those albums could have been much more in people’s minds outside Europe. I mean, America was all right, we did okay in America, but other countries could have gone better, I think.

“But I think we’ve achieved most everything, really. You know, we’re still making great albums, so I suppose that’s something.”
