    What are you listening to?

    Playing Blaze Bayley's new album 'The man who would not die'. Absolutely fantastic album, with gritty guitars, dark lyrics and great songs. A grower and very deep. Ignore the fact that Blaze wasn't too good in Maiden, his solo stuff shines and is much heavier than you would expect!

    according to blabbermouth... According to 7Days.ae, British heavy metal legends SAXON will not be performing at this year's Dubai Desert Rock Festival — set to take place on March 16 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates — because one of their songs from the 1980s includes lyrics about freeing the...

    saxon gig tonight at rock city

    It was a good gig, not amazing, just good. Reason for this in my view was too much of an emphasis on the old stuff, which I love but I would like more of a balance and maybe something off Killing Ground, Solid Ball of Rock or Unleash the beast. Sound wasn't too good either for a Saxon gig. I...

    Sack the soundman!!

    Well the sound at the Astoria was not perfect, as the guitars were not loud enough. If there is anything that annoys me, it is the lack of a loud guitar sound. guitars MUST be loud as they provide the riffs and the thrust of the band. The sound did improve as the night went on and by Dogs of...

    LionHeart- awful

    Jesus, people on here need to chill out!!! Firstly, Lionheart is a great album, up there with their best works I'd say. I'm more of a fan of the 90s Saxon than the early 80s anyway, though I love that stuff too. The albums I listen to most are Metalhead, Unleash the Beast and the new one...

    Lionheart discussion thread

    This album is superb!! It's not my favourite ( Metalhead ) but it's up there with the best like Unleash the Beast! Firstly, a great combination of heavyness and melody! I thought Killing Ground was a bit too mellow and could have had a few more songs like the title track. Lionheart puts this...
