Power and the glory, Heavy metal thunder, Strong arm of the law, Sailing to America,Dallas... one of the first bands that introduced me to metal, along with Irons and Metallica

Saxon, Black Sabbath, Dio ,Deep Purple Iron Maiden , Motorhead and Judas Priest. Some of the finest British Metal bands from the 70s and 80s !

Crusader album is excellent, it was so good I got a painting of it.

[@jimharris367]

Saxon, one of the greatest Metal bands ever, one of the founders of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, at one time bigger than Maiden and still kickin ass to this very day - you could do a lot worse than going deep into this fantastic band 🤘

[@jruz1738]

The band was formed in my home town of Barnsley, South Yorkshire.

[@markprior2278]

Great to hear see you loving Saxon. May i recommend some other great artists you may not have heard of. Little Angels, Quireboys, Girlschool, Gary Moore, the Temperance Movement and my own personal favourite THUNDER

[@Starman_67]

Dude! I haven't heard Saxon since I was in year 9! That was 1981! JMFC!

[@AndyMagnusson70]

I was the driver to Steve Dawson and Graham Oliver when their current band Oliver/Dawson Saxon, (the original guitarist and bass player of Saxon) played a gig here in Sweden some years ago. Hahahaha. That was fun

[@puressenceuk35]

Still going strong today even though the lead singer is in his 70's (and still sounding as good as ever I might add). One of the powerhouse bands of the 'New Wave of British Heavy Metal'. 21 studio albums to date.

[@motorlife7037]

Never let you down with good guitar riffs, energetic, rocking out always, I always come back to them when I need energy, after 40 years listening to the first album I borrowed in the library (power & the glory)

[@phillipgreen3893]

Wheels of Steel, 747[ Strangers in the Night], Heavy Metal Thunder may be worth checking out by them

[@kevinknight8467]

Saxon are fantastic. Strong arm of the law, princess of the night, 20,000 feet. Lots of classics

[@tonydakin2767]

Saxon was the very first band I saw live. Think it was 1979, when they played at Lancaster University. That was when Lancaster was one of the best gigs around and all the top bands played there. Saw them the following year when they played at Monsters of Rock at Castle Donnington. Always put on a great show. By the way if Heavy Metal is your thing, you'll never do better than Wacken Festival.

[@martinarscott3524]

Haven't heard Saxon for years...'And The Bands Played On' was a classic song of theirs when I was younger

[@rogeriopenna9014]

Didn't even see the video yet, but thumbs up because nobody ever reacts to this awesome band

[@VladfishTheMagnificent]

I saw them two nights ago at a small venue (300 people, maybe?), and they BROUGHT it. Showed the exact same intensity as they do at a massive arena show. Biff Byford is truly an ageless wonder.

[@matbritton6816]

1st band i ever saw in 1983. The Eagle Has Landed tour. The girls at school liked my t-shirt the next day. We managed to change the uniform policy through war of attrition. Check out Motorcycle Man by Saxon.🤘

[@trinadawn4166]

a new band to dive in to , thanks!

[@MrKawika64]

Saxon!! first metal band I saw, way back in '83

[@CaptainBaptainMusic]

Great video. Thanks for checking Saxon out. I’m glad you enjoyed it 🤘🇬🇧🤘

[@VXGaming]

Wacken has always been good for metal heads. Should check out Avantasia, Powerwolf and Gloryhammer at Wacken.

[@antoniocunha8772]

great band , pioners, killers ever

[@asepbobby]

Watched them live in 1978 in Cardiff.U.K listen to Dallas 1.00 pm.

To hell and back again. damn this is an oldscool sound pure heavy metal banger.

[@linkan7100]

Heavy metal at it's finest 😁🤘👊🤟

[@andrewjohnson8346]

They were around when I was a kid in South Africa.. Not exactly on the radio, but good record shops had their albums 😎💪🏼

[@tonygriffin_]

Saw them back in 79 when they were supporting Whitesnake. Good, solid Metal band.

[@dominiquebaumgarten8010]

but like iron maiden after the 5th album fall down and mettalica too!

[@tonygriffin_]

@@dominiquebaumgarten8010 It was 43 years ago I saw them. Didn't even know they were still alive!

Alongside Iron Maiden, Saxon were at the forefront of the new wave of British heavy metal in the late 70's and early 80's

[@ghichens3418]

Yep thats really funny, Saxon are Australian !!!!

My mistake ! they are from Barnsley ! must have had a rush of crap to the brain !!!

[@FromG2eminor]

Never heard of them. I liked his voice. Of course you can't go wrong with added violins.

[@pookymouse2]

legendary track and my first album from saxon

[@markunderwood912]

Hope you check out the video to this as its 1 of the best music videos ever

[@kenlansdowne7963]

Saxon are one of a handful of groups from the New Wave of British Heavy Metal from the end of the '70s to have big success (two others being Iron Maiden and Def Leppard). I have seen them live a number of times and they have a number of great singalong anthems to get the crowd going. My suggestion to try next - Denim & Leather

[@monicacarolina6480]

SAXON!!!!! They are a great 70-80's band. One of their best songs is Dallas 1 pm (about Kennedy being shot) DIO is also a great one. ROnny James DIo is a legend, he sung also that sweet song with the froggies "love is all" He sung in Black Sabath after Ozzie and had his own band DIO.

[@barriehull7076]

Saxon and Iron Maiden both formed in 1975.

[@carolinestirland3126]

I've heard of the band but don't know any songs at all. Fab

[@stefanf.4012]

I grow up with this music! Great!

[@username604error5]

So … NEW Hell Fire and Damnation !!!

[@justinneill5003]

This song got them banned from Dubai. To the question “who is Saxon,” the answer is, one of the best (possibly THE best IMO) and one of the most under-rated heavy metal bands ever fo come out of the U.K. When people discuss heavy metal and start reeling off names like Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Motörhead and Judas Priest, the name of Saxon belongs right up there.

[@johnstewart9883]

I recommend listening to the band al1ce they are a great band as well

[@rogeriopenna9014]

You know, I think Wacken is located at the original Saxons Homeland

[@teemuraappana414]

Warlords of wacken. Nice. Had the pictured lp. It is somewhere. Yes, sold it to some saxon fan as my player stop. Slight remorse, but it went to Who apprecied .

[@ginovandenmeerssche4824]

Saxon is de top of metal

[@WNYretiree]

New band for me, but, that's the kind of voice I like, not perfect but full of individuality. More from these guys, please.

Try Dallas 1pm and The Eagle Has Landed both excellent ❤

[@markunderwood912]

JUDAS PRIEST BLACKSABATH DEEP PURPLE

[@anhistorian7255]

The band who, if you believe the stories, Spinal Tap was largely based on. And if you check out the original bass player and compare him to Derek Smalls, it does seem possible... They were a great band back in the day, Saxon. An under rated one certainly.

[@dg3258]

Please consider reacting to LOVEBITES Hammer of Wrath live kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnnViIWKZa-Yl8U. They release this just a week ago, it's from their March 2023 show. Their first show in 2yrs and features new bassist Fami (first show w/Lovebites). These ladies are metal AF; all 5 of them are masters of their craft AND the guitar duo of Midori (blond) and Miyako (dark haired) is deadly. Thunder Goddess Haruna, all 4' 9" of her, kills it on drums! 🤘

[@ginonacionales6347]

If you have the chance, pick up the crusader album. I guarantee, as much as, you liked the title song, you will love "sailing to america" and "run for your lives."😊

[@-Heavy-]

Saxon is an old school legend! I love this song,but I don't like this version! The strings are too distracting and the mix wasn't very good as well. I was there in Wacken at the time. It was kind of a trend back then to bring classical instruments onto the stage. Some brought a whole orchestra with them... usually only partially managed to make the songs come across fresher.

[@taiwati7472]

Hi, ive just finished watching ur reaction. To saxons ( crusader ) awsum band. Been around awhile ive played in a band . And they were a big influence at the time. You must listen to there other live version of ( crusader ) its just as good but without the orchestra They do have alot of great songs please do more reactions...awsum

[@stevenlamkin551]

Can't beat a bit of Saxon, Biff Byford's voice even these days, soars as if he's singing from the top of a mountain 😀
