Saxon - 747 (Strangers in the Night)

Heavy metal thunder! - 98%

screamformebrazil, September 6th, 2005

This song is very nearly perfect. In fact, when its played live on The Eagle Has Landed it IS perfect, the extra speed is all it needs. Sorry Saxon, this version is just too slow to get 100%. But apart from that, it has a huge stomping riff that will blow you away in the verses which when, coupled with a quieter chorus and three fantastic solos, makes it possibly Saxon's best song ever. Biff's vocals are great, and perfectly timed to work with the big guitar chords- "This is [BAM BA] Scandinavian 101 [da da dum]". A ledgendary song from a ledgendary band.
