BuzzSaw is a channel on Sirius Satellite Radio that plays a harder-than-normal blend of classic rock, including early heavy metal and southern rock.

Artists played on the channel include Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath (including both the Ozzy Osbourne and Ronnie James Dio periods), Van Halen, Aerosmith, Rush, ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Queen, Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Motley Crue, The Black Crowes, and Jimi Hendrix.

The channel entered the Sirius lineup in early 2004. Prior to that time, there were three channels that played music that would later be played on BuzzSaw: The Rock, The Vault, and Big Rock. The Rock focused on the hits of classic rock (e.g. Led Zeppelin and AC/DC); The Vault on the “deeper cuts” of classic rock; and Big Rock defined itself as “stadium rock” (mostly hair metal with some arena rock). In that round of channel changes, The Rock was subdivided into Classic Vinyl and Classic Rewind while Big Rock was replaced with Hair Nation. BuzzSaw can essentially be viewed as the other successor to Big Rock; the arena rock that isn’t played on Hair Nation is generally played on BuzzSaw.
