[klonidier]

METAL!!!! FEEL THE POWER!!!!

[fernando929305]

what fucking classic is this

[crocksrock101]

Rock on!

[CapuletIAm]

"Where were you in '79 when the dam began to burst?

Did you check us out down at the local show?

Were you wearing denim, wearing leather,

Did you run down to the front,

Did you queue for your ticket through the ice and snow?"

Some of the best lyrics I've ever heard. Shame I was never around in '79!!

[MIKEPORTNOYING]

DENIM! AND LEATHER! BROUGHT US ALL TOGETHER! IT WAS YOU! THAT SET THE SPIRIT FREE! \m/(o.o)\m/

[hockeydude634]

wth is with metallica coping other bands the intro sounds just like jump in the fire

[urban2306]

@hockeydude634 LOL its called Influencing other bands.

[MetalUpYourAss6667]

\m/ \m/ Saxon are heavy metal legends!

[MidniteHaze1]

Wait, this isnt the real studio version.. Where is this from?

[MrTeerocks]

my 2 favourite things to wear...oh yeah !!!

[colonelclaw]

Sad to say I can remember this when it came out. To my surprise, it isn't as bad as I remember

[klasomentas]

I'm 5:26 minutes late for class.

[alessandrone87]

YEAH!!!



[Serjlives]

Thank You eternally for the gift of Hearing!.. Older guy here and man this brings me back.

[prasatorr]

[killerofthingz666]

@prasatorr you couldn't have said it better man\m/

[xfghkhjfsejid]

Anthem!

[TheHarlingenLegend]

Good ol' British Heavy Metal.

[foonjake]

OH FAAARK YEAH

[bluesboydude]

this makes me wanna buy a harley davidson and drive around like the fucking devil is chasing me! anyone feel the same?

[2Zero8discipline]

"It was YOU who set the spirit FREE!"

[getaire]

great song...the best song to the right is Riot

[masterofinsanity1993]

I think this is a re-recording, not the original of 1980. ROCKS ANYWAY!!!

[64veuliah]

@masterofinsanity1993 I'm agree :-)

[prasatorr]

@masterofinsanity1993 yeah it is, and it doesn't rock anyway. it rocks even more if you ask me :>

[brianlightning]

SAXON FUCKIN ROCKS

[GodsKid1963]

@fuckjustinbieber66 I do believe that the count of people that wear polyester leisure suits while they dust off their Barry Manilow and Parliament albums just grew to 5. I would recommend heavy sedation and restraints be employed on them as they are a danger to the public.

[codebabe]

@GodsKid1963 hey Parliament were amazing! Bootsy Collins, Eddie Hazel, Bernie Worrel, an George Clinton were some of the best musicians ever. Barry Manilow is a hack and I can't believe you'd mention them in the same sentence! Parliament didn't even wear polyester they wore leather coats and tons of crazy stuff!

[getaire]

@codebabe funkedelik rock , but................denim and leather is a totally diff. head!!

[SlashJr01]

i grew up in germany and when i was six i bougt this cd with my allowance. i had no clue what "metal" meant. but i always loved it. finally i learned english four years ago. and turn out i've always been a metal head!!!

[mojolville]

I had the opportunity to see Saxon back in 1982 but wasn't that familiar with the band. They opened for Aldo Nova who in turn opened for Cheap Trick. Unfortunately we got there just in time for them ending their show. What idiots we were!

[johnRpico]

Long Live Metal.....

[musicofEagle]

Supreme Metal!

[foxmcloud23]

i heard these guys from that metal show while the guitarist i think was talking with marilyn manson

[SheaBearden]

@foxmcloud23 ...That was the singer, Biff Byford :-)

[BOURBONJULIO]

I had never even heard of this this band 'till TMS,.. this kicks ass!

[TheOnebadoutlaw]

ABSOLUTELY kick ass jam here folks! Being as big a metal man as I am, I somewhat ashamed to admit that it wasn't until just recently that I became family with Saxon and specifically, Denim and Leather. Well, better late than never. LOL This anthem will definitely kick off many of my d.j. gigs from here on out. Rock on!!!!!!!!!

[PurpleHoneyBear]

I first heard about this song tonight, so I checked it out.

It is awesome in its hard rocking simplicity. And I love the denim and leather look. It has been worn by people of all sorts of scenes.

[robtech341]

To all the people knocking this it's cool that you don't dig it.

You have got to remember in 1981 there were maybe a dozen or so real heavy rock bands.

the only useful 70's leftovers were Van Halen, AC-DC, and maybe Sabbath.

We had 5-7 years (1975-80) of rock being Styx, ELO, what was left of KISS, .and the radio considered Clapton as Hard Rock.

Bands like Saxon were great influences on today's Metal Bands. Yes a bit trite looking back, but the were among the British metal invasion.

[THEATREofPAIN270]

Holy Shit, I was 10 when this came out. When I heard this I was changed forever. Grew my hair long, Picked up drum sticks and I still rock the fuck out. Great post, Thank you.

[artiegohome]

@THEATREofPAIN270 Well said!

[agliettip]

My dad gave me leather jacket that he bought more than 20 years ago. It's still in perfect conditions and I keep it like a treausure. Go Denim & Leather!!

[salot19]

tomorrow i buy my leather jacket 150 euro i fucking waited a long time i am 16 btw :)

[Modighen]

This isn't a song.

It's a motherfucking anthem.

[TheOnebadoutlaw]

@Modighen Couldn't say it ANY better, my headbangin' brother!

[DJLM1968]

Yeah these guys sucked then and even worse now. Or maybe the same lol.

[nigletgook]

@DJLM1968 have you heard anything on dogs of war, killing ground, inner sanctum, into the labyrinth or call to arms, you must be joking saying they suck now. They are way better now than have these over played songs.

[biollante62]

God this shit sux royal ass.Did anybody waste money actually buying this shit back in the day? Sux even more today

[MarsPerryRhoads]

@biollante62 Haha. You've got balls saying that, sir.



[RotnRoll77]

@biollante62 Die.

[universe112]

@biollante62 this song does suck!! the lyrics suck, the singing sucks, and the guitar riff is annoying.

[MantasCronosAbaddon]

@universe112

Then go listen to faggot-ass Opeth or something that doesn't take talent. Enjoy those lack of riffs, melody and charisma!

[xXMETALRULZ666Xx]

@MantasCronosAbaddon dude... you clearly havent really listened to an Opeth song... especially their new album. great riffs and melodies everywhere. genius prog metal.

[nigletgook]

@universe112 obviously you know nothing about music, saxon are bad ass and can kick your ass anyday, i'd like to see you still rocking at the age of 61.

[Valhallmupp]

3 wimps are getting my boots in their asses!

[HadzirLP]

oh how i love saxon

[fuckjustinbieber66]

3 assholes like to wear Polyester

[formula397]

@fuckjustinbieber66 lmao

[BadMotorFinger92]

@fuckjustinbieber66 hahahahaha

[TheJeffman1985]

@fuckjustinbieber66 Make that 7 now....

[aditamad33]

@fuckjustinbieber66 make that 7 assholes who like barbie style.

[ailouros1982]

@fuckjustinbieber66 hahahahahahaha!! :D \m/

[DarkMagicGr]

doesn't sound like the original

[MrShaggyJosh]

@DarkMagicGr It's not, I think it's the remastered version from Heavy Metal Thunder

[ianisitt]

No, I listened to you setting the spirit free. I just smoked crap and loved you.

[ThePeaveyGeneration]

I just now discovered Saxon in the past couple of days. All I can say is, Where the fuck has this been all my life?! Fucking rock on!!!

[CatfishHodges]

I heard this on the radio and love the way the rhythm flows-but I couldnt help but wonder how iy might be if we all were just a little crazy about breakfast...

Bacon and eggs they make the morning better-you can eat them for breakfast

lunch and dinner-you can scramble them-you can fry them-you can have them over easy-you can boil them whatever way you break them doesnt really matter

even green with ham-and erve them sleazy....

bacon and eggs they make the morning better

[ScreamingMurder89]

Denim! and Leather! brought us all together!

[Hostiledtilldeath]

Saxon badass

[pepperbelly68]

Man this takes me back !! great to hear this again my cassete died years ago !!

[tencotancisvlkem]

I am 22 and i have played this song before every drinking. try it works great. hehe now I am listening so...

[tencotancisvlkem]

I am 22 and i have played this song before every drinking. try it works great. hehe now I am listening so...

[desertrat218]

I had this record at one time, but this song is not the same version I remember.

[khelatar]

@desertrat218 You're right, this version is from Saxon's "Heavy Metal Thunder" album, with new recordings of old classics of theirs. It's from 2002.

[hobeepee]

@khelatar ya i was like-this sounds way too good to be the original recording. i loved covering this song in the early 90 with my band, Ramjet.

[louiebones]

This is live, no???

[rod3067]

@louiebones nope, studio version.

[nholt]

Denim and leather set my spirit free

[sm0kindatg00d]

trow the Goat ,heathens,unless you wear polyester

[maxi4492]

3 People use Brut and wear cotton!

[MoonlightWhisperer]

Got the original vinyl of this LP back in the 80s...was great then and always will be for one simple reason..it's rock in it's purest form; with no bullshit added. Rock on :)

[adnanisdabest]

@MoonlightWhisperer no its metal! Rock has gone garbage today

[tattoorich42]

I had this fuckin record! I almost forgot how fucking bitchen they rock.

[Charlene68100]

Sons of Isaac

[DaMetalJunkie]

When I found out these guys were coming to Belfast I near shit myself... But then I found out it is over 18s only ID required... Fuck that shit I'm going anyway xD

[uzze65]

war ich in Konzert in Eppelheim,war geil---

[lolhesluca]

SAXON RULEZ!!!!



[okidokicoyote]

This made Rock and Roll and Metal what it is today!!!!!

[666thrashmaster]

wait so is the first recording before they remastered it or...????

[siwert4u]

Love this Band.

[jpp16PL]

Why people can't again wear denim and leather? Lots of leather like Judas Priest - with the spices :P

No like today... purple jumper and hairstyle like emo/gay... I want GLAM and LONG HAIR AGAIN!!!

[MoonOvIce]

@jpp16PL Umm...we metalheads still use long hair, emo and all that other garbage is something else, I still wear denim and ocasionally leather...

[mashui99]

@jpp16PL "Not like today"? I''m in highschool and i wear my denim and leather loud and proud. My hair isn't as long as i'd like it (it's at my shoulders) but it's getting there. I play guitar and i have a friend who plays drums and we're gonna form a metal band, not just any band but we're gonna be great. Believe me, metal hasn't gone anywhere it's alive and well.

[jpp16PL]

@mashui99 Yeah of course, I have long hair (longer than yours:P) and I play on bass, and I am in small school band : P Of course the metal and rock will be but will be less popular and new bands will.. you know, it's not gonna be the same as it was and is. And I also wear denim trousers with wholes on knees and coat leather with many spices (about 122 but I want some more) I like you. Maybe in future we will play together ; >

[mashui99]

@jpp16PL Ah i get what you're saying i thought you meant no one did that anymore, which not as many people do. But who knows i'm hoping for a new wave of heavy metal to bring it back to it's former glory. People are getting fed up with the way music is heading.

[jpp16PL]

@mashui99 yes, but nothing is really changing. Somehow this stupid today's hip hop and pop are still in the mostly on top. I can't get it, how it happened that the justin b. is one year in music and he is so popular, and the bands like Saxon needed much more time to be famous...

[EnergizerBunny804]

@jpp16PL sorry but you can't call today's style gay and then long for the days of glam

[BlackDiamond77100]

the original version is much better

[magicsXfive]

yeah this isnt the original version

[01ichibawm]

This is a re-recorded version. The original doesn't have the yelp. I used to have this "album" when it first came out.

[jefsin1]

[95holydiver]

[8kiarikos]

[jeffyist]

This is not the studio version.

[SpitMucus69]

I dont think this is the studio version. sounds like the rerecorded version.

[frankofelko87]

1982 my first Saxon LP, AWESOME....

[colinclarke1000]

For all those who remember the heavy rock do's at detling village hall..the Caroline roadshow at chatham town hall.at bobbing village hall..of drinking till we threw up..then drinking some more...a kebab on the way home...of headbanging till our eyes felt like they were falling out... it was that which set the spirit free.. long live the spirit of 79..play it loud be proud and rock til ya die

[colinclarke1000]

This takes me back...haven't heard this in years

[Baugin1]

This is so awsome! So heavy! Rock on!

[sloandog44]

[95holydiver]

Well this is the rerecored version. I can't find the original one.. can anyone upload it?

[johnthegreek178]

This ain't the studio version but I think I like it better!

[ZZombyWooff]

I'm 30, sober and quite tired and feeling ok. Saxon is fine, I've been a minor fan since 2011

[johnthegreek178]

@ZZombyWooff OK, since this whole thing started... I'm 12 I'm happy because tomorrow I'm on a school trip at Athens for 3 days and I love Saxon since... not many days ago! :P

[ZZombyWooff]

@johnthegreek178 way to go. carry the torch to future generations if possible. be true to yourself and do not become a mindless money making robot without soul. This is actually the guideline to how I raise my son, but it is universal. World is fucked up and we need people with soul. SOUL. We live here a blink of a second damn it. I'm gonna use my 70+- years with soul and heart. not obeying corporations and goverments. money is nothing, happiness is rock'n'roll and beer.

[celovecernjithekid]

Metal Hym

[davycrocketful]

ah yes..this album was amazing..

[gg136800yyk]

@davycrocketful not was... IS!!!

[klasomentas]

[metalheart4u9]

Set your spirit free,oh hell yes.

[bronzejusthawk]

[DukeDoom95]

Saw them tonight. FUCKING AMAZING. Wolfsbane was the support. Got Blaze Bayley's autograph on the back of my ticket

[universalself]

brilliant...and the solo sounds like the scopions,2 me

[manysocksonfeet]

REAL METAL None of that nu metal pussy shit.

[gotohell714]

Truer words have never been spoken!

[metallicafan003]

I went to a Saxon gig the other day an I could have swore I was head banging with a bunch of statues.

[MetaLManiA456]

only 43.088? what the fuck is wrong..so much underatted

[lopazthespastic]

Where's this from? Doesn't sound like the version on my copy of the album, it's better!

[ypoulofidi]

@lopazthespastic in killing ground limited edition they had 8 re-recorded songs. this version is one of them.

[lopazthespastic]

@ypoulofidi oh awesome, I have to look into that!

[4Kk1Kk4]

todays kids... fuck they listen bad music -.- this is the real thing... this has soul!

[TheBadgerslayer]

Last Weekend I was at a Holy Grail gig. They are like a retro 80s thrash band. And this guy turns up, clad in perfect 80s metal attire. Long greasy curly hair to his shoulders. Maiden shirt. Denim jacked stacked full of patches, no sleeves obviously. Tight leather trousers and studded wrist bands. Looked like he had just walked out of the 80s yesterday. Smelt like it too...

[Bishiup]

@TheBadgerslayer damn musta brought back some flash backs

[Oscha12]

@TheBadgerslayer It was probably Lemmy!

[TheBadgerslayer]

@Oscha12 I can assure you it wasnt, although if he had a goatee he would have been a spitting image of Dimebag Darrell (R.I.P)

[SuperThrashMetalHead]

@TheBadgerslayer The metal image isnt a trend and thats why it never dies out and still see people dressing it. Denim and Leather is the perferct look for Heavy Metal. Im 18 and I wear tight jeans, cut off sleeves on my denium jacket with patches and buttons and a leather biker jacket under the denium jacket with studded and spiked wrist bands. Its a timeless look for timeless music.

[ModernLeatherRebel]

@SuperThrashMetalHead i get funny looks since its the only thing i wear. except finding studded and spiked leather these days is rediculously hard so i just stud and spike my own shit. atleast then you can do a custom job

[suffiice]

@SuperThrashMetalHead your profile says your 36?

[IronPriest138]

@TheBadgerslayer I FUCKING LOVE HOLY GRAIL. People need to learn of their AMAZINGNESS. I recommend to everyone that you buy their debut album! It's AWESOME.

[karter005]

SAXON RULES! this song makes me wana make a metal band! \m/

[Bikerkid13]

[Jewishguywithbignose]

@Bikerkid13 Fuck you!!!

[Tarten46]

@Bikerkid13 Whats the matter squirt still doing what mum tells ya?! The only thing mannly you kids do today is raw, gay butt sex in the back seat of an airconditioned Honda. Dont run with scissors m8.........

[klasomentas]

@Bikerkid13 go die bitch.

[pitheas10]

[KON4444]

@MrAshimoto

Seen them live in Dublin round about mid-late '80's - like you MrAshimoto, I hear ya bro - back in the days when headbanging didnt involve a headache !! but fuck it all & let loose. Proper Metal !!

[RCMadMatt]

I fucking love this song!!! This music needs to come back and drop-kick the "music" on today's radio right in the balls!! And off the radio!!!

[XA351GT]

The Heavy Metal national anthem

[thodwrislastwhiff]

[ladronikolic]

This is Heavy Metal Thunder (2000) version.

[chainslap]

Where were you in '79 when the dam began to burst?

[renatoargh]

One motherfucker has never worn DENIM AND LEATHER!!!

[paolocito]

@renatoargh No man, I think the problem was that he was headbanging so much while trying to hit the like button that he hit the dislike button by accident ;-).

[The1Virginian]

Always a choob in the bunch (the one who didn't like....)  go back to your barney&friends sing-along page! The rest of us know a real classic. Thanks for posting, cheese.

[BBINGHAM032352]

Also compare this band to the band called Black 'n Blue and their tune''Hold On To Eighteen''

[BBINGHAM032352]

My favorite tune by Saxon is ''Terminal Velocity''.Compare this band to the Australian band called Kings Of The Sun and their tune ''Drop The Gun''
