Period 1986 - 1995

[zsigal]

They dont play enough song from this period in my opinion.
I'm calling you to a little game now.

Please choose one - one song from every album from 1986 - 1995, what you want to hear (again) on their concerts.

But please dont write: Ride like..., Solid..., Requiem, Forever..., Dogs of...
They play them always and they are uninteresting songs in this game.

Here is my selection:

Rock the nations - Battle cry
Destiny - I can't wait anymore
Solid ball of rock - I'm on fire
Forever free - Hole in the sky (Please, back this song in the program forever! One of my biggest favorite from Saxon, its a real METAL song)
Dogs of war - Hold on

Tell us your choosing!

Degas, you are a man after my own heart, well nearly! My choice is the same as yours except I would choose -

Rock The Nations - Rock The Nations
Forever Free - Must we?! Forever Free or Iron Wheels (the only two songs I like from this album.

 

[WILKS]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm i wonder why.O.k. i will give it a go.

R.T.N. Waiting for the night.
D.Pass
S.B.O.R.I love the tittle track but they play that mopst the time anyway.So i will agree with pax for that one.
F.F. Iron Wheels or ...............no sorry there isnt any others like
D.O.W. Hold on.

This is Saxons worst period for me.So its hard to good songs.

 

[Patte]

Really? You guys don't like Can't stop rockin'?

Rock the nations - Rock the nations
Destiny - Red alert
Solid ball of Rock - Baptism of Fire
Forever Free - Can't stop rockin'
Dogs of War - Hold on

 

[Degas]

Thanx Paxo! great songs really!

Hold On rules! I don´t know the reason why Saxon never played this song alive. Maybe a Graham Oliver composition or other thing but It´s a fantastic song from DOW really.

 

[blackblood]

Quite frankly I believe the most underrated Saxon album is Unleash the Beast,it's their best in the last decade imo,they don't play enough stuff from that album,barely a couple of minutes from the titletrack if we're lucky.. btw I agree with the spirit of this thread,totally.

I liked Hold on when i first heard it .....but its almost a deliberate attempt to be commercial and thats what i think of when i hear it, i mean the lyrics could be from a bon jovi song really. personally i like Demolition Alley as a better song from that record to play live

 

[KaMei]

Rock the nations - Empty Promises
Destiny - Red alert
Solid ball of Rock - Baptism of Fire
Forever Free - Can't stop rockin'
Dogs of War - Hold on

 

[Fingers]

Rock the nations - Rock the Nations
Destiny - I can't wait anymore
Solid ball of Rock - Baptism of Fire
Forever Free - None I'm not keen on this album !
Dogs of War - Sorry I like the title track TOOOOOO much to change.

 

[747 Stranger]

Rock the Nations - Battle Cry
Destiny - S.O.S.
Solid Ball of Rock - Refugee
Forever Free - Iron Wheels is a great revamp of Destiny's Calm Before the Storm
Dogs of War - Dogs of War stays, but I like Demolition Alley, too

Great thread, zsigal!

I was just thinking that! The song is just a bit too "usual".

Rock the Nations: Battle Cry (very sinister sounding to be a Saxon song..)
Destiny: I Can't Wait anymore (I know it's "usual" too, but it's among the few songs i like on that record)
Solid Ball of Rock: Lights In The Sky (very nice song, prob the best on that album imo)
Forever Free: title track, don't really liked the other ones
Dogs of War: Burning Wheels
Unleash The Beast: Circle Of Light

 

[Patte]

Must say I'm surprised nobody seems to like Can't stop rockin', I think that's a great one...
