mellowed out? Listen to their songs Need For Speed or Hellcat or Hammer of The Gods, i don't think they've mellowed out they've gotten better, they have a different sound than the 80's but it isn't the 80's anymore..but this has an 80's feel to it regardless.. Saxon will never die.
Wow. Saxon...still around?! I walked away from heavy metal in the mid 80s after going to a Black Flag gig & discovering truly intense music, punk rock, but Saxon was my all-time favorite heavy metal band. The last album I knew of was Power & The Glory, which was a step down on the heaviness scale from their first 2 albums., but it was still great. THIS, however...Live to Rock?!? I've not heard anything else of "modern" Saxon, but if this is an example, I'd prefer to remain that way. Ugh!
I meant to say; "first three albums" but the self-titled debut release was just...weird. I liked it a lot, but it was truly something very different with many unique sounds. I still count Saxon as one of the top heavy metal bands ever, but they have really mellowed out their sound over the years. I know-developed, grew, progressed, whatever you wanna call it, but it's mellower now. Wow, they're still around?! They're due a ton of respect for sticking it out so long!
@kilmall@kilmall And you, my friend are one of the few who really get it. I'm 34, a Test Manager in a corporate. Its so nice to hear and read what you said cause that's just me.
@kilmall I get outta bed, plug in Saxon, Dio-Sabbath and do silly jerky dance moves as I cant headbang anymore..but I so love this stuff. Back surgeries removed the head banging ability but as long as I can walk and breathe...Saxon and old school NWOBHM for life. Life can deal its cards but Kilmall - just lie you said in word and spirit - Will love and live this till I die. I'm so glad to be able to talk to like minded folks!
Thank you and take care...and God bless our Metal!
yeah I know........saw them in 1980 when they as support pissed all over Rainbow. I beleive Biff lived in Bossy for a while....now I think he lives in France. Still like em.......but some of theirstuff is to fast and heavy for me now
You rock guys! Biff, u're the one of my gods of vocal metal. I know, whether u care it or not, but I'm so happy u still sing man! You're one of my idols! My one of the dreams was Metallica
performing you or you performing the
Metallica tracks! I'm glad that James tried to sing your track man!
I'll do it too man!!! Don't forget! U'll never fail us, fans... I can't believe u have almost the same vocal like on your earlier tracks...
