The first time I heard this I was like 13/14. I'm 46 now and this song still sounds amazing now in 2017. The 80's were really the best era for heavy metal.

stormwind47 Same here. My first rock concert was Saxon in Mainz Germany during their World Crusade Tour. I was 13/14. One of my dad's U.S. Army buddies introduced us to Saxon via their Crusader album. I'm 48 now, and their music still gets me going just like 1983/4.

Yeah, I'm in North Carolina. I used to rock Saxon in high school in the early 80s. "Strong Arm of the Law" was one of those bad ass albums you could put in and just let it play. I liked "Denim and Leather" but "Crusader" ended up being my favorite Saxon Album. People said they "sold out" or "went commercial" with "Crusader", but I disagree. I think they had refined their sound, peaked their talent, and made one of my top 20 best overall albums of my lifetime. I saw them at the first ever "Monsters of Rock" at Donington Castle in England. My dad was Air Force and we lived in Upper Heyford. I saw them live in Fayetteville NC, later in the 80s. I can't remember which album they were touring but they played "Crusader" so it was later then that Album. They are one of a few bands I've seen live more than once. I still listen to them.

I saw Saxon open for Iron Maiden in 1983 when I was 17. Fastway the the first band on stage at that show. Awesome heavy metal show. I am now 52 and still love the old metal. Where did the time go?
