I was sacked in December 6th 1980 (Saturday morning) for missing work the previous night as I'd seen Saxon live in Coventry on this tour. I was jobless and skint..............was it worth it? Fuck, yeah!

One of my favorite metal songs. Glorious band live. 🤘🎸

I was 14 when a friend called me and said that he knew in which hotel in Zürich Saxon were staying (it was the Nova Park. We had tickets for the show, but decided to give it a try and just hang out at the hotel, maybe we'd meet the band. And we did. None of us young 'bangers spoke english, but the band took excellent care of us, invited us to have lunch with them and gifted us with free merch. Later on stage, Biff kept pointing at us, waving and making jokes. I never banged harder in my life.

I saw them in Turin my city. I was 16 Years old.

SAXON. Truly it is criminal how underappreciated they are. Give me them before IRON MAIDEN. SAXON brings the music. I don't need a stage show. If I wanted to see a musical I'd go see one. All I want is to ROCK! THANKS FELLAS!

That opening guitar riff....first riff i ever figured out on my own just by listening to the record. When I started doing it, I was like hell yes, check this out. My friends were impressed. Life was good. The early eighties was like living in a John Hughes movie for real.

these guys are insanely badass, dude.

got this on vinyl!

Fell in love with this group in ‘83. Came home from a party with Saxon “Strong arm of the law” in my car. So thankful.

That solo, sounds newer, fresher each time i hear it. I don't know why, but it does. I'm gonna play it again!!

the bass lines knock em dead ass lines!!! wooooooooooo

seen Saxon with Armored Saint in a small club back in the 80s with my little brother we head banged stage left front the whole show "I miss you every day Bro" one of the best nights of my life!🤘

I was listening to the music on the radio (*) I had a feeling that something's not right The music was loud, we could still hear the crowd From the gig that we played that night We pulled into a motorway restaurant Stopped awhile, fooled around But I still had a feeling that something's not right 'Cause we're standing in a whole in the ground Stop, get out (**) We are the strong arm of the law Stop, get out We are the strong arm of the law Into the night came a blue flashing light A blast from the siren to make sure But it came to a stop behind the motorway cop Who'd been tailing us for more than an hour He pulled us out of the car on the side of the road He questioned us one at a time Where is the gear that we know that you use We said the only speed we use is on cars [Repeat **] You should've 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

That whole in the ground ain't right. Must be "as we started our homeward bound"

Just saw them here in Dallas, and after 20 years of going to the shows they still put on a great one.

Saxon had so many great tunes. It is surprising more of these songs didn't get radio play. I live in Canada and the only two Saxon tunes I have heard on radio in the 80s was Denim and Leather and Power and the Glory. Denim and Leather remains one of my top songs of all time.

Magic achieved

I saw this band in Colne(!) back in the early 90s. They were VERY loud but brilliant. Biff is an amazing frontman. I was on the balcony with my boring boyfriend and our mate Prof got 'into' it at the front - nearer the stage - only for his specs to fly right off his head with the momentum of the crowd. Why I remember that I don't know but it was a great night...and yes, he did manage to retrieve his specs! Never seen so much denim and leather in my life. I always felt safe at these gigs, even though the women were outnumbered by the guys about 3-1 I'd say.😀

Love Saxon f awesome 👍🤩

Great rock in 2022!
