SAXON - 2009

Are there any "Saxon" fans out here? Saxon are a traditional classic british heavy metal band from England,along with Judas Priest and Iron Maiden they helped forge heavy metal in the early 80's.

Not sure how to post a youtube clip,other sites I'm used to has a "source" where you post the video....If I can learn how to do it,I'll post a live video of Saxon.

They are the most underrated heavy metal band in the world in my opinion,they are so much better than Iron Maiden these days and actually have been for the last 15 years,and 7 studio albums.

Very interesting to hear Gravdigr,albums of the 80's like 1979 debut album 'Saxon" and the classic 1980 "Wheels Of Steel" album then Strong Arm Of The Law,Denim & Leather,Power & The Glory....these 5 studio albums from the 80's were classics but to alot of Saxon fans the now-a-days current Saxon is so much better in song writting and consistant quality albums. Give 2004's "Lionheart" a listen and if you like Saxon this album is the band's best work,also listen to 2007's "The Inner Sanctum"....total classic Saxon at thier very best.

Absolutely.To me Rob Halford is the best vocalist in heavy metal hands down,but its still an opinion but Priest has been my favorite band since 1981 so of course I'm going to say he is #1,but he really is! lol! I've never cared if he was gay either.

I've been a member of the Judas Priest forum for 6 years now,the people over there are very cool and discuss anything and everything.

I wasn't thrilled about thier last album "Nostradamus"(2008) as I don't like it at all,but the album before it "Angel Of Retribution"(2005) is very good,10 songs and only one really sucks,and its the last track on the album(Loch Ness).

But if you haven't heard the album,its very traditional Judas Priest in the vien of 1982's Screaming For Vengeance album and 1984's Defenders Of The Faith album,thats the best way to discribe it. Tracks like Judas Rising,Deal With The Devil,Wheels Of Fire,Demonizer,Hellrider,Elegy...its very good if you like Judas Priest.

Alison Arngrim, who played Nellie Olsen on The Little House on the Prairie, put out a memoir earlier this year. Her dad was the personal assistant to Liberace for many years. Apparently they took her to see Liberace's show and meet him when she was about 9. They warned her to not say anything about him being gay because it was a big secret. (her reaction: you're kidding, right? I'm 9 and I figured it out without anybody telling me.)

One of my oldest friends toured with Saxon in the last few years.
Yup, they're still touring.

I couldn't tell you when or where - he's a professional PA and from the amount of work he gets I assume a bloody good one. I might even have been to see them at his invire - I stand behind the mixing desk until my head hurts then wait for him to finish!

That is too cool. The fans that live especially in England are very lucky because Saxon tours many shows in England where they came from,but they do not tour here in the U.S.A. very much at all,the last tour 2009 they played 4 shows here and the rest were basically in Europe. I wish they would tour and open up for Motorhead,they always do it in England every tour so why not open up for Lemmy and co. ? That would be aswome,a Motorhead/Saxon tour.
