[NovAbeatsZ]

what about the crusader album

[ckelley63]

My favorite Saxon song!

[1997MCD]

Can you imagine if someone like Metallica did a cover of this? That's the doomsday everyone is talking about!

[joedalton155]

@1997MCD Metallica won't make better than this awesome song

[xXThePhilosopherXx]

Saxon - Strong Arm of the Law

Iron Maiden - Sanctuary

Judas Priest - Breaking the Law

Anthrax - I am the Law

Sodom - Lay down the Lay

So many good songs about the law.

[ALBERTromano1965]

One of the greatest moments in metal. I loved Saxon! The sound of those Marshalls at 220 volts gave me chills back in the day. Metal like this could have started a revolution. Saxon lost the alot of magic when Pete Gill was replaced after this lp. I awaited every Saxon album in those days. Great amazing 2 guitar metal onslaught!

[getaire]

@ALBERTromano1965 keystone Berkeley, awesome

one of the best ever!!!

[chefjameso]

@getaire greatness show ever!

[sabbathfreak1]

They were one of my top favorite head bangers along with Priest, Maiden, and Motorhead. Were there any other? Play it often and play it loud!

[nmatavka]

@sabbathfreak1 How about Sabbath and Dio?

[CockatooFilms]

@nmatavka Add ozzy to that also :P.

[gwoody83]

Going to see Saxon Live tonight at the Rio In Las Vegas!!!!!

[nonotc]

@itsglen9646 a good show you, and takes pleasure !!!!

[joseph47711]

thanks for sharing i love me some saxon \m/

[marcosfender]

Saxon are NWOBHM

[Mutleytech]

4 dudes spent the night in the slammer. Bummer man.

[nmatavka]

@Mutleytech They DIDN'T spend the night in the slammer because they knew how to defend themselves against police profiling. Cut your hair so it doesn't block your ears, or at least get some glasses so you can read the lyrics: "You should have seen the stupid smirk drop from his face—it was a negative exercise; the way that we dress and the things that we do, they thought it was an easy bust." With their bikes and leather jackets, you'd take them for methheads, right? WRONG!

[Mutleytech]

@nmatavka I was talking about the dislikes which id now 5 NOT SAXON band members! Give me a fuckin break!

[Mutleytech]

@Mutleytech I was talking about the dislikes man. It was 4 back when I wrote that.

[MastaGambit]

STOP RIGHT THERE, CRIMINAL SCUM !

[Superyman100]

Great sobng and great band!

[nmatavka]

Great song, great lyrics about beating stereotypes and police profiling

[musicforever154]

[rammsteinwalk]

[metalrulesforrever]

METAL NOT ROCK well metal is rock but this isnt ur normal rock THIS IS METAL

[jeanblanche666]

this is timeless heavymetal, the bass play the beat of the heart it makes you go for it

[MERCILESSization]

@VitalSigns1 you dont know what metal sounds like, saxon,judas priest, iron maiden,accept,running wild,motorhead is what metal sounds like

[Rattlehead941]

It feels Like a Time Travel !!

[baz00ka984]

This is hard rock... no doubt about it... Not metal,it's hard rock....

[VitalSigns1]

@baz00ka984 You just don't understand because you're from a new generation. Trust me, this is and always will be metal. It's old school, all the old rockers know this as metal, and they are listed on metal-archives as a band. Even I know they're metal and they were way before my time.

[baz00ka984]

@VitalSigns1 You can call it whatever you want, but that doesn't change the fact what it really is! I wonder, what Saxon has to say about it... Do you really think they were playin' metal, back in those days? It's pure hard and heavy....ROCK! Yeah...! :)

[VitalSigns1]

@baz00ka984 You can call it whatever you want, but that doesn't change the fact about what it really is!! Saxon are legends of metal, and Biff Byford recently tried to make Heavy Metal an official religion. "Do you really think they were playing metal back in those days?" Holy crap dude you're fucking stupid...this was from 1980, metal has been around since 1968. Goddamn kid you have a lot to learn.

[baz00ka984]

@VitalSigns1 You call me stupid and you don't even now me? That sentence reflects your own stupidity, if you ask me. You do not poses basic form of manner, and you dare to debate about anything??

I even speak your language, I bet you can't say HELLO on my language, so who's stupid now?

The fact that you are older then me, should mean that you are more wise than I am, but in your case it means you missed to learn some elemental stuff in your life, such as to be polite!

Have a nice life,goodbye..

[Syze1]

@baz00ka984 Saxon were from a breed of British bands under the title NWOBHM. That stands for New Wave Of British Heavy Metal. Bands like Def Leppard, Maiden, Priest and Samson were all part of it. It it's day it WAS Heavy Metal

[2ofalsbells]

fuck comparing bands theirs only 2 types of music. GOOD and Bad

[2ofalsbells]

fuck comparing all the bands, theres only 2 types of music. GOOD and BAD

[comfy1]

I remember seeing them at St Georges hall on this tour and I am off to see them at the o2 academy in leeds this year, love em and Biff is a great entertainer

[ZombiemanSteve]

Saxon is metal, not hard rock. I'm sick of everything being mislabelled. Just because it doesn't have some gay screamer doesn't mean it's not metal.

[rks639]

in your face badass rock n roll!

[baldiman75]

[smngry]

@getinthevan330 Ha, easy mistake to make. I just made the same sort of discovery...... DOKKEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My friend lent me a couple cds of theirs the other week and I can't stop learning them. Like you say, phenomenal. Saxon are from round the corner where I live in Barnsley, South Yorkshire

[getinthevan330]

Okay, I have a confession to make. I've been playing guitar for over 13 years, been listening to metal since I was 12 and I NEVER heard Saxon at all until last night. Talk about a rookie mistake. These guys are phenomenal! Duly noted ikonxp, already confessed last night after hearing this great track.

[m666ort]

Saxon since 1980.

From the Army to the police force.

Have I gone wrong somewhere?

[musicfreak1967]

All disciples of the Heavy Metals like each other with both albums - "Wheels of steel" and "Strong arm of the law" bow - SAXON RULES!!!!

[7883wendy]

ah takes me back good times

[trippy119]

[babo430]

[TheJmanzilla]

Saxon is a great band, wouldn't you agree?

[mrmetalman123]

Saxon rock!!

[jimbo99ful]

Used to hear my brothers playing Saxon when they were having a bath back in the early 80s(they still have a bath now). Never really appreciated how good they were until I saw them play live at the Download festival. They were amazing live and should have been on the main stage, the crowd were going mental.

[holymetal777]

Yeah! great band, got this on vinyl.

[AndreasSku93]

Wow.. this is the first time I listen to Saxon, and they're amazing! Awesome song

[ThePBerry]

1980 what a time it was parties dring and smoking only god knows what.

[MadeInIron82]

Cmon George and Jeff. Lets Rock!

[MisterFantasy63]

I love this song

[kara1464]

One of the best concerts I went to, Middlesbrough Town Hall..... oh hell.. tooooo long ago.

[whaaselfesteem]

Alright, let's take a poll!!!! Name your favorite "Saxon" tune. I realize thats almost impossible, but give it a shot!

[evermetal2]

@whaaselfesteem I know which one's mine! Power And The Glory!

[andy5421]

@whaaselfesteem Wheels of Steel

[fartface259]

@whaaselfesteem princess of the night

[pwnedbygreenelfs]

@whaaselfesteem 747, or Machine Gun probably. What's yours?

[sk1llblack]

@whaaselfesteem

747 (strangers in the night) or princess of the night.

[JamieBarnes11]

There's no way round the fact that this fucking kicks ass a hell of a lot.

[cosmos1999ify]

mon enfance.... le meilleur de saxon.... frissssssssssons..........

[patlavert]

Saw this band 4 times as opening acts 3 and headliners once in their prime. They loved playing my former home city in Tx.

[TheMoonunit66]

takes me back to DerbY Assembly Rooms the night John Lennon was shot.

[Dubh666]

SAXON !!! Number one British metal band

[TheJmanzilla]

@Dubh666 I couldn't agree more.

[38decembers]

AC/DC and Saxon are totally different as AC/DC is more of a rock band and Saxon is more hard rock/metal-their both great in their own right but not comparable to each other.

[TheJmanzilla]

@38decembers I couldn't agree with you more, they're both great to me.

[L1701]

@38decembers Right on. I love both bands. Their sound is different, but they both do the same thing: Put out great music. And that's what matters.

[38decembers]

@L1701 Yep-damn straight!!This music will still hold up in another 30 years and be as good then as it is now-hell probably even better considering some of the crap that is made theses days!!

[Hardrockstorm]

@38decembers ... thats right,AC DC has more blues in the blood and saxon more metal...

[siomaslt]

@38decembers i like ac dc saxon metalica led zeppelin same love brother. =] PeaceHippi [=

[VitalSigns1]

@38decembers AC/DC = hard rock

Saxon = heavy metal

[rfcguy99]

@38decembers but just the fact that they had to brought up and had the claim that they "arn't similar" proves that they are. you cannot deny saxon sound A LOT like ac/dc. both hard rock, saxon slightly heavier.

[shameman1]

@38decembers why do some people like to put things in boxes saxon ac/dc who gives a flying still good

[motoredskull]

@38decembers Dude what kinda distinction is that?One is more of a rock band and the other hard rock/ metal?Obviously the 2 bands don't same the same but as far as the other shit goes,it's all the same soup

[MDProdTV]

@motoredskull Yeah AC/DC and Saxon are both great bands...

[steveboy20028]

@38decembers ac/dc is hard rock too you know...cheers :)

[TheJmanzilla]

I mean Saxon is pretty good band to me.

[TheJmanzilla]

Saxon is a good band.

[wasolts]

Biff rulz.....................

[jasonmadeyou]

yeah a LOT like acdc

[Metalhead001122]

this sounds a lot like ac/dc

[Darken1606]

@Metalhead001122

this sounds like what??? You compare things which you don´t have to compare, perhaps Malcolm Youngs style is glimmering, but he wasnt riffing as fast as Saxon. Listen to Princess of the night or Heavy Metal Thunder. Besides, Malcolm is the absolute Guitar Man

[Metalhead001122]

@Darken1606 alright fair enough

[Darken1606]

@Metalhead001122 nothing the matter, perhaps youre way enough to this, but i met to much idiots knowing nothing about this all, f. a. Udo Dirkschneider sings while ol Bon Scott makes it, and noone recognizes it. So im an alltime doubtful one

[Appelbrei08]

Basically, the NWOBHM music was labeled "heavy rock" back in the day. NWOBHM (label/term) => refering to British Heavy Rock combined with the DIYS attitude of the Punk Movement (in the late 70s/early 80s). Saxon, one of those bands that hit it bigger than some of their fellow bands of that time like Damascus, Cloven Hoof etc. (though some of them are reuniting/ have reunited). Great album, great track. Period! Classic!

[7winterswolf7]

em.from thr uk,

[bonscot42]

superbe,genial,beautiful!!!!!!­

[sgtjuanka]

from spain-----------MOLAAA ESTO ES LIGHT METAL

[Nastybutzky]

NWOBHM was a term to name the new scene and new bands of the late 70's and early 80's. In contrast to the "Old Wave" of British heavy metal bands like Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep and punk rock scene bands like Sex Pistols, The Clash etc

[TheDoomsandwich]

Thats because Jesus played guitar

[skidrow09]

i love that metallica pic where daves holding a beer wearing a venom "welcome to hell" shirt and james is sticking his tongue out wearing a SAXON tshirt \m/, would love to know where to get one

[TheKami31]

Let's Rock !! :-)

[funkberto]

Judas Priest (the creators of the 'Heavy Metal aesthetic'), Raven, Praying Mantis,Iron Maiden, Venom, Saxon, Def Leppard, Diamond Head..

NWOHMB

[nameless616]

Quick correction. Vemon weren't part of the NWOBHM. They were actually a thrash band that later created Black Metal.

[TheGreatDuck]

Yes,they were.NWOBHM is a scene,not a genre,and it had hard rock,heavy metal,speed,power and thrashy bands,and even a glam band (Def Leppard).

[nameless616]

As far as I was aware, the NWOBHM was a scene of Heavy Metal, as it says in the name.

[TheGreatDuck]

Heavy metal was an umbrella term back then,and to a lot people still is today.

[nameless616]

I wouldnt really call it an umbrella term. It has its own distinct sound. However, maybe because in the 70s and early 80s Metal was at its early stages, there were a lot of people who didnt really know how to use it properly. An umbrella term is something like Extreme or Epic Metal which can be used to describe a whole number of different sub-genres. Like I said, Heavy Metal has its own sound. You could tell the difference between a Heavy Metal riff to a Glam or Thrash Metal riff.

[TheGreatDuck]

Yeah but in NWOBHM heavy metal IS there as an umbrella term.

[nameless616]

Didn't you just say the NWOBHM was a /scene/ though?

[TheGreatDuck]

:facepalm: NWOBHM REFERS TO ALL THE BRITISH METAL BANDS FROM THAT ERA,DAMMIT!!!!

[nameless616]

I could argue that, but we'd me going round in tedious circles.

[lordflanderwell]

you sir,are a conissuer,as i like to think i am...kind of....to the trained ear there is a HUGE difference between sub-genres of "heavy metal".

[TheAngelOfSuperDeath]

yes. New Wave is a school of metal.

[saynotodrug999]

@TheGreatDuck frmo my knowledge NWOBHM means playing music that make sense

[Pasta711]

i'll agree with that, except about judas priest. yeah, they were from britian, but the NWOHMB didn't really start until the 70s and priest got together in 69. I guess you could say priest and sabbath paved the way for NWOHMB. Not flaming you or anything, just saying what i think.

[RenardWarrior]

Saxon is one of the best metal band out there!

[britishandproud1]

love that song feels me with rock and roll

[MultiRushfan]

great band from hs days.

[TheProwower]

Saxon is a good band, but I accuse them of having a bad bass, kinda like priest. But Judas Priest kicks ass, and so does saxon. God I wish I grew up in the 80's and not right now. So many wangsters fuck.

[4heavybeast4]

@TheProwower  don't we all :)

[inyourdreamsladdie]

you are havin a fuckin trip son! I grew up in the 80's and believe me- in the uk it was fucking horrible- adam ant(vomit)duran duran(puke) KAJAFUCKINGGOOGOO!!!

the 90`s and noughties recoqnised guitar based music in the charts and thier peers! the 80's was shit, I know, I was there! did I mention (dry heaves now!) Boy george!!
