Saxon's World Record Air Guitar Attempt Failed

posted Jan 23, 2007 at 8:21 AM by deathbringer.  (10 Comments)

Saxon's attempt to break the world record for the most people playing air guitar at the same time might have actually failed. It happened at Hillsborough during the half-time interval in the football match between Sheffield Wednesday and Sunderland, when around 30,000 fans were encouraged to play air guitar to new Saxon single 'If I Was You'. Yet, despite earlier reports that they'd succeeded, now it seems the crowd were less than enthusiastic.

Can't argue with that, but I prefer football anyday. Although at least in rugby you don't get glory hunting c***s so much

Grid Iron has SHlT on Rugby, and all games have SHlT on soccer. Except maybe Squash, that game is hectic as fvck.
