First track off Call To Arms "Hammer Of The Gods" totally excellent british styled heavy metal from the elite Saxon!!!!!!!!!
[J.D. DIAMOND] Tuesday, March 15, 2011 3:25:58 PM
Wow,that would of been awsome to be on Saxon's new song as the band invited 75 random fans down to the studio to sing back-up vocals for a new track,spur of the moment thing,but those fans who were able to make it down in time will be on the new album,what a rush that would be!

Totally! This cover art work reeks of "Strong Arm Of The Law" style,I love it! The old-timer guy's eyebrows look as thick as Biffs ha!! I really hope I like 8 out of 10 songs(an album's worth)....thats all I'm hoping for. As I said,2009's first single off the album "Live To Rock" I can't stand,it sucks and it spanks of cheese let alone its fucking boring as hell.
So I wasn't to optomistic about Into The Labyrinth but when I heard the whole album I ended up liking 11 out of 13 tracks on it which made my day so I'm really hoping this new album I can get 8 songs from it since there are 10 tracks.

I don't like the song title for "The Ballad Of The Working Man" but the rest seems ok.
I just hope the new single is better than thier last album's "Live To Rock" which spanks of dull boring predictable radio crap,I hate that song and minus one more the rest of the album turned out really good and I'm hoping the Call To Arms album turns out with at least 8 songs out of 10 that are quality,if it doesn't I will be totally butt hurt.
To bad I'm not one of these people who like everything a band does without question,it would make it much easier that way to get excited about an album but Saxon like Judas Priest means too much to me to be that way so my fingers are crossed.
This is not official,but according to Metal Hammer these are supposed to be the new song titles for Saxon's new album "Call To Arms":
Call To Arms
Against The Odds
When Doomsday Comes
Chasing The Bullet
Hammer Of The Gods
Dirty Double Dealer
The Ballad Of The Working Man
Afterburner
Back In 79
Mists Of Avalon
These song titles sound cool!

Biff is from the northern part of England so it would make sense his accent my have been influenced by a bit of scott as well.
As far as pitch goes, I can see where you get that from. The upper range, which bon rarely hit and held for long, does sound close.
My two cents for the day.

LOL! Yes the intros they do sound similar I agree but Bad Boy Boggie and Wheels Of Steel in full are so different but I do understand where your coming from,Saxon is so hidden that it doesn't really matter. Now a popular band like Iron Maiden how the opening main riff for Wicker Man sounds closer to stealing that riff from Priest's Running Wild track ha! Like I said I don't think AC/DC knows who Saxon is(lol!) and whatkind of cash could they get from Saxon,25 bucks? lol!
Listen to the beginning one after the other, the same in a different key. When Biff comes in with the vocals it sounds as though it could almost be Bon. The main guts of the song is a little different but that intro is the same. They're not that far apart at all really. Far apart would be that fuckin Maiden vs Motorhead thread that some spastic started. So far apart you can't compare them
