Thay be in rīga maybe I go watch Lithainia - Italy or France but I wanna see some Italian ultras,

@Danzig 111 I listen now ''Denim n Letter'' a nd I can say its realy good album, I like this album, better how leither albums, istvso alive and emotional, you shood get it if you're fan of NVOBhM

oh yes i should

But can you believe this now? In the U.S. there was this one record store I went in, it was a damn good store, but they didn't carry any of the CLASSIC Saxon albums . I think it is now rediculous that I must now resort to ORDERING an album by SAXON from the internet

Yeah im not sure what record stores are like over in europe, but here in north america its ridiculously limited, we usually only carry the latest album from bands like Saxon, we get plenty of fucking rob zombie and slipknot. Even Motorhead is getting rare at cd stores (other than ace of spades and kiss of death). Most of my best cds had to be ordered.

Anyways, I went and picked up 'the eagle has landed prt III' (which was hard enough to find here) and i must say its really good, the live version of 'solid ball of rock' is really powerful "thats alot of fucking power!"

Crap!!! Again!! The show is once again cancelled in Bucharest..... (((
Due local circumstances of local promoters we had to cancel the shows in Bucuresti, Tallinn, Vilnius & St. Petersburg.

I can't wait to see Saxon in Helsinki 05.05.2007.
I saw them 2006 in Ruisrock, Finland and they kicked ass.



Saxon is one of the best heavy metal bands ever...!
I like old Saxon, but I really love everything Saxon has done since Nibbs Carter joined the band. He just made a difference!
Lionheart kicks ass, hope the new album will also make my heart skip a beat

Well, Saxon rules beyond imagination and I wanted to see them with any price.. Oh, fuck..

I just get my cd of killing ground with remastered pieces of their past records, and is really a great disc, i really enjoy it from bedinning to end, biff is the best!!! Someoan told me that ozzy is better than him, but the true is that byford have a such talet .

i love Saxon - but i dont understand what is making 'Killing Ground' so popular?
i dont really hear anything special with that album..

I like a lot Killing ground, and i like it because the lyrics and the music, is very heavy-epic haha!!

In a few months they are coming for 2 live shows in Greece(Thessaloniki+Athens)
cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is their 1979 debut any good? I seriously have not heard it.

It really is. It's not better than Wheels of Steel or Strong Arm or any real classic album of theirs, but still..
She's a big teaser!! You should get it, it's quite good. And besides that, what other metal abum was there on the scene in '79? Priest and Accept, and the even earlier Sabbath stuff. So it's pretty important for the age of it.
Any views on their latest, The Inner Sanctum?
I like it a lot, it will definitely grow on me..

It's got the perfect balance between everything: melody (the King Crimson cover), speed (title track, Dragon's Lair), epicness (Shadows on the Wall), headbangability (title track again), rockish sensibility (You Don't Know and a couple of other moments) and instant hits (Deeds of Glory)..
Metalhead was slower and Lionheart just too fast for a classic heavy metal band, it's Germanic power metal already and it doesn't fit extremeley well to Saxon.. I'm glad they went back to a slower sound on the new one..

Lyrics well early Saxon was more better ewven lyricaly in NWObHM ere specely 'Denim n Lether' just now I love 'Princes Of The Night' song

Just got 5 Saxon CDs from the local liberary...haven't listened to them yet, but when I have, I'll return with an opinion on the band

which five are they??
they do have a few that I wouldnt really call fantastic.. so I hope you dont have any of them

I can't wait to see Saxon alive... yipiiii

yeh - I would have been seeing them in just a week or two, but Biff's infection has put the tour back.. so now it is more like two months and a couple of weeks..
I just hope I dont have an exam around then.. because I think thats when mine are..
oh well - I dont suppose he could have prevented getting the infection so I just hope when he is well he can give it 100%

Come on, I guess you don't hate Destiny.. It's not as heavy as the others but it rules in its own way. So does Rock the Nations and Innocence Is No Excuse, too.
Saxon is always great..

with "the Eagle has landed prt III" the exact opposite of what usually happens to me has happened with this album, the more I listen to it the less I like it, it seems every time I play it the songs get less and less powerful. Shame, because I was really excited about this album when I first bought it.

I recently got The Inner Sanctum and I LOVE IT! It's the first Saxon I've heard ever and I can't believe it's taken me this long. This album is full of emotion and meaning, and tons of fun, all at the same time!

I'll be checking out Dogs of War and Lionheart next, that seems to be what you guys recommend, no?

I love discovering great new (to me) bands that already have a huge discography; it's like a buried treasure of metal!

I know the feeling.. I felt the same not long ago with Riot...
I recommend zou Denim and Leather.. That's a masterpiece.. And it's also big classic..
Get a live album to cover their career in profiles..

of old albums, I recommend 'Power And The Glory' and 'Strong Arm Of The Law'
but yeh.. I prefer 'Solid Ball Of Rock' to 'Dogs Of War' but that still is a good album..

I ordered Dogs of War yesterday - the next step in building my collection! I'll post back in a few days when it arrives

Dogs Of War wasen't that good album (IMO), some good songs, but the rest are below average. But many of their earlier releases, from Wheels Of Steel to Power And The Glory are absolutely brilliant. Whit very few weak songs, those will always be my favorites.

The albums are Crusader, Destiny, Dogs Of War, Saxon and Wheels Of Steel. Haven't listened to it much yet, but the few tracks I've heard haven't been that good

no, I cant say I am a big fan of 'Crusader' or 'Destiny'
also 'Saxon' isnt really too flashy because its their first album
'Wheels Of Steel' and 'Dogs Of war' are good albums though.. so I would suggest you gave those two the most attention

@Baz Anderson: cheers...I'll concentrate on those two then

I just saw them last night!! I wrote a little summary in this thread because I am not doing a concert review for it..

A 19-minute audio interview with Saxon frontman Biff Byford, conducted recently by Norway's Metal Express Radio has been posted online at this location. Enjoy.

I like the last album. I heard from my dad that Saxon made in the past not so great music. But now they make great music!
