Iron Maiden never released an album cover that looked quite like this! BaHaHA! Is this Saxon's version of Eddie?

That belongs in the cheesy album cover thread. Baha!!

BTW J.D. Just pulled the last of the banners, and will send you two tomorrow. Sorry, both are not pristine, but still pretty good for, what, 25 years old? lol
Flora has the best one on her wall. I think she would cut my hand off if I took it! lol

K2M this first Saxon album is worth buying,8 tracks and as I said only one of them I don't like (Big Teaser) but the rest are very interesting for a 1979 debut album,very un-played by many. Saxon have said many times they play traditional heavy metal and also traditional rock & roll,rock and hard rock. But they do have a majority of thier material thats traditional heavy metal,but this first album is rock all the way and its rare to hear people talk about it.

Cool Painkiller, the only track I didn't like was Big Teaser,but the rest of the album is a cool groovy 70's vibe for sure,it may not be Saxon's best work but its not a bad album. Power & The Glory is not bad either.  Yeah 18 studio albums and only 6 of them I wouldn't recommend. Maiden has now 15 studio albums and there are 8 of them I wouldn't recommend. 

While everybody is flocking towards Iron Maiden your collecting Saxon and going against the popular trend,good for you and rightfully so because they do have some excellent albums thats why in my opinion Saxon is the biggest underrated heavy metal band of all time.9 out of 10 people you ask will not know thier music ,they really only know thier name and logo.

Finally got their first album. Pretty cool with a serious 70s vibe entering the 80s. Getting "The Power and The Glory" soon via Amazon.

Hey thats cool Steve,yeah part 2 is a good show ect.. And yeah,Lionheart is Saxon's best album but only in my opinion,I'm not saying that everything I say must go....but I'm just judging thier albums on a traditional sound and then its all about opinions ect...but yes I would stick up for Lionheart as thier best album.I like all the tracks on this one,and even if you don't like ..lets say 2 tracks you don't care for there are still 9 other songs that are cool a whole album's worth of great Saxon material. Just scroll down this thread and check out those 12 albums that I said were Saxon's best,I'd say 90% of Saxon fans who know thier stuff would agree with me.

LOL! Right on Budred I appreciate your advice but I'll be turning 40 in June and trust me,theres no way I'll EVEr change! lol! I don't like any other types of "metal" or rock,and I'll never open my mind to any non-traditional bands,thats just the blood inside me its who I am,again I'm not bashing you for your opinions,but being narrow minded to me is "the way to go"!!   But I definately don't expect everybody to be like this at all,I enjoy being in the selective group of people on this earth that is narrow minded! HA!!

Man, I was so expecting you to be like,"F*ck you". You being cool proves what someone else
on here said to me. I take things to serious. As for the narrow minded thing I was the exact same 
way until I turned about 30 or so. Believe it or not, if you open your mind you will find that there is more 
to music than just metal. I listen to all styles of music now. Don't get me wrong, I'm a metalhead at heart
but now I listen to other forms of music as well. I have about 900 cd's, close to 600 of them store bought,
at least 800 of them are hard rock or metal. I've been to over 200 concerts and less than 20 were non metal shows,
so believe me when I tell you I like metal. I'm not trying to change you or tell you that you're wrong, but I gotta tell you
an open mind is the way to go. Peace!

(lol!) Oh yeah the Rock On The Range 2010...well it just blew me away that there were like 15 bands and not one of them I could find that were even decent,so that was me being a dick haha!!  Sorry Budred,I know you like all those bands now but to me its a nightmare as I'm a metal purest and extremely "narrow minded" but I'm proud of being 'narrow minded" because it ancors me into the pure form of metal and hard rock.

I have approx. 60 different bands on CD(all original cds with booklets ect...no burned copies) and they are all true metal,thrash,black,death,hard rock bands. Godsmack,Rob Zombie,Korn,Disturbed are my enemies and I fight against these bands on a yearly basis when ever I get the chance,those are the bands that over-crowd the rest of the good bands in my book.

But this is only my opinion so I'm not saying you suck for liking these bands,it just sucks whenever I see them thats all. lol! As for Saxon goes...even though you love Judas Priest I don't think Saxon these days is your cup of tea as they do not have any kind of sound like the bands you like listed in the ROTR show.

Rock on the Range 2010. Crew Stadium, Columbus Ohio.
Godsmack, Rob Zombie,etc. etc..
As far as Saxon, dude it's all good.That was me being a dick.
The three albums I named are the ones I like. In the last 15 years 
I haven't even listened to Saxon so that analysis is stupid on my part.

(lol!) Thats cool and all and I get you reacted after a post I left after yours ect..ect..ect...but WTF does "(ROTR 2010)" mean anyways lol! ?   Have you been smoking my pot or have I been smoking too much?  (ROTR 2010)?? 

Well,going back to Saxon I was just showing that they do have some shit albums, out of 18 albums 4 albums totally suck and 2 others are half shit and half good,that leaves 12 albums that are good Saxon LPs,they may have a song or 2 on them that is not good but the majority of them are good...80% of these 12 Saxon albums are excellent. I like ALL the songs on the 2004 Lionheart album and all the songs on the 2007 The Inner Sanctum album.

Actually it was directed at you. I was throwing a jab because of a post you left after one of mine.
(ROTR 2010). I had it pointed out to me afterwards that I take things to serious on this site. 
I took it as a personal attack, I guess I shouldn't have. Peace.
