00:00:50 - First of all, we love doing it. It's really a kind of a privilege to be 51 years old and being able to go out just still to have a voice.

00:02:14 - Denim and Leather is the fourth studio album by the British heavy metal band Saxon, released in 1981 on Carrera Records.

00:02:29 - It is the last work carried out with its original formation, since before starting the promotional tour Pete Gill injured his hand, which did not allow him to play the drums and Nigel

00:02:38 - Glockler entered his replacement.

00:02:44 - Princess of the Night is and will be a classic of the band and of this album.

00:02:48 - A thunderous, very hokey riff that remained in the minds of 80s heavy metal fans.

00:02:53 - The unusual thing about this song is that it is a tribute to the steam train, when some thought of a very beautiful woman who dominated the night.

00:03:00 - A steam locomotive or steam locomotive is a type of locomotive powered by the action of steam.

00:03:05 - It was the dominant form of traction on railways, until it was superseded by diesel and electric locomotives in the mid-20th century.

00:03:12 - It was an element of transport that became very bohemian and historical and in that almost melancholy sense.

00:03:18 - Biff Beiford tells us,

00:03:20 - Well, not all the countries in the world like steam trains, and although people sing along with the choir, no necessarily know the rest of the letter.

00:03:28 - For example, in Japan we had to explain what it was about.

00:03:32 - I think they had their own theories of what a princess of the night might be.

00:03:35 - I wanted to do a song about a steam train, because that was something I really liked growing up in West Yorkshire.

00:03:41 - Some of us children used to go down to the viaduct at night and watch the mail train go by.

00:03:46 - Then, in our early days, the band would park our van on Berry Island in Glamorgan, a graveyard for steam trains.

00:03:53 - We also used to try to take things from them.

00:03:55 - So, I had in mind to make a song that would celebrate what it was, even in 1980, a bygone era.

00:04:01 - I had the chorus worked with the melody line and some of the verses.

00:04:05 - But it didn't really all come together until Paul Quinn had an idea for the riff.

00:04:10 - As soon as I heard that, I knew I could make the lyrics I had work with it.

00:04:13 - I had to rearrange the riff a bit to get everything in place, but once we got that figured out, the rest just flowed.

00:04:20 - We knew when we recorded it that this was something special, but we didn't realize how seriously the fans would take it.

00:04:26 - It remains one of our most popular songs live.

likes to join the choir and it has become a great anthem for us.
