Hello people. I only discovered Saxon in the middle of 2003, and damn, I lost such a long time of my life NOT listening to Saxon!! My neighbour showed me some tracks from Heavy Metal Thunder and I liked some of them. So I bought some albuns, starting with that Diamonds and such album, which is a compilation of alternative versions of classic songs and it was kinda like "oh my god, thats exactly the kind of classic metal I was looking for!!!". I was instantly hooked. Ive been a fan of Maiden, Sabbath and Judas (and other bands of course) for a long time, but there is a limit for the number of times one can listen to the same albuns. I like refreshment, and Saxon gave me that, but of course maintaining the 80s classic metal feel.
New Saxon fan here...

and to think you used to call us ignorant and closed minded back on the Maiden GC.
Well, I`m glad to see what great music you`ve missed over the decades. Welcome to Saxon. They simply kick major ass. Nuthin fancy, just in your face Heavy Metal(with a nice Midas Touch)!
By far, the friendliest Metal band out there!

Welcome to the Tribe Of The Eagle, AcesHigh!
Don't worry - you're not alone. I was aware of Saxon since the mid-eighties but didn't get into them until I bought a bargain 'Best Of' CD on eBay a couple of years back. I loved it! And could not believe that a track such as 'The Eagle Has Landed' had passed by my childhood unnoticed! I then got myself a copy of 'Killing Ground'. After that, I was a confirmed fan! I went on to buy every album and also the more vague titles such as the one you mentioned - 'Diamonds & Nuggets'.
I have even gone onto to buy the solo efforts of Nigel Glocker, Graham Oliver and Steve Dawson. I love everything about the band and this has all happened over a course of several years! I'm seeing Biff and the boys in September (1st time!) and I can't wait!
Better late than never!
