"Rockin' Again," Saxon

What? Saxon has yet to make an appearance on Metal Friday?

Consider that corrected. I could have thrown up something from Denim and Leather but instead went with this straightforward rocker off Innocence is No Excuse.

Love the slow atmospheric build on this. The drums are perfect, as is the guitar tone. Everything I love about mid-80s metal.

It's Friday, we'll be rocking again.

  1. Saxon is one of the best live bands I've seen. They have this incredible knack for taking songs that already sound really good on the album, then making them sound amazing when they're played live. So much energy.

  2. Andy: Nice. They deserve a bigger following. Never had the breakout hit required for mass popularity.

    Also, is this chick on the album cover biting an apple (and hence has lost her innocence)? Looks more like a dinner roll IMO :)
