Whatever happen to them? Still going strong Akron, I'm seeing them in May alongside Judas Priest. They've made a strong comeback, playing to packed houses and their 2011 album Call To Arms was excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormtron Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 (edited) Usually people say Wheels or Strong Arm is their favorite Saxon album, but I've got a big soft spot for the first album. Rainbow Theme/Frozen Rainbow is my shit! Edited April 19, 2012 by Storm Shadow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchetaxe&saw Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 The new live stuff is superb. Eagles Over Wacken - Heavy Metal Thunder 3 disc set contains 3 hours of their best Wacken moments and, recorded in Glasgow, an entire show from last year's tour on 2 cds. The new stuff sounds amazing. Separately, there's a double cd of the same name which is the fans choice 2009 Wacken set. HUGE. God bless 'em.

Only 500 pieces worldwide!!! It comes is a big black box with four dvds, two audio cds, a Saxon flag and a chance to get a GOLDEN TICKET to go to a show and get backstage. It's an incredible piece. SAXON RULES! I finally popped my Saxon cherry last year and saw them at a small club in Santa Clara and they blew the roof off the sucker. One of the greatest bands in the world. They keep putting out album after album and the music is still kicking ass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

June i think ENDLESS METAL! That's The Carrere Years 1979-84 set, is it? It's the first 7 albums, including The Eagle Has Landed, all on 4 discs, most rarities can be found on the most recent remasters. Still nice to have, very handy for the car!!!

Your_Lion Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I'd actually never heard any Saxon before, except for 747 (Strangers in the Night) which was on a compilation CD I had. But I fancied listening to some more classic NWOBHM, so just for the hell of it, I ordered Wheels of Steel and Strong Arm of the Law. Just finished listening to Wheels of Steel, and it fookin' rocks!
