Ha ha yeah kiamat I don't get in a sing-along-poppy mood no but I do listen to upbeat shit like Motorhead and of course Saxon and Priest's uplifting songs like Don't Have To Be Old To Be Wise or something like that but Suzy Hold On is not one of them that does it for me!
But yeah back then the record lael did make them come up with pop tunes for the American market to try and sell records.Its like the album after Wheels Of Steel "Strong Arm Of The Law" where they have 8 songs and 1 of them is terrible "Sixth Form Girls" wich is cheesey!! lol!
But Saxon have come around full circle these last 15 years they have written the best material of thier career,better than thier 80's albums by far in my opinion.Have you heard thier last album 2009 "Into The Labyrinth"? Its a great album,maybe not Saxon's best but it is a good record....13 songs on it and only 2 of them are weak,the first single they put out "Live To Rock" I really hate and Hell Cat I can't stand either but the other 11 tracks are classic Saxon,11 songs makes up for a good album.

I agree its not one I play a lot- if I happen to be in the mood for something thats a bit sing-along and poppy its okay (I imagine that doesn't ever happen to you J.D.!), but its not very Saxon is it? I've heard that their record label used to insist on them sticking in a ballad or more mainstream track on their albums so the label could get a chart hit- which sucks, but at least the real fans got most of a real hard rocking album.

Suzy Hold On video from the "Wheels Of Steel" album 1980. The Wheels Of Steel album was a great record but this song fuckin blows!! lofl!! HAHAHAHA look at them in this video man,they look absolutely pathetic,the worst part that cracks me up the most is the part where Steve Dawson(bass player) attempts to jump on the drum riser thing but its not but 2 feet tall!!
Its a sad joke,the song itself is absolutely terrible in my opinion I know there are other Saxon fans who like this track,but to me its ridicoulous just as Parental Guidence was and is,but this time era Saxon spanked of bad image,you took one look at them and laughed your ass off!! But music wise YES you bet,the Wheels Of Steel album was and is great except for this Suzy Hold On track! LOL!!
Hey I love Saxon but there is nothing wrong with admitting they have some shitty tunes and albums and having a little fun spotting them out!! lol!! Edited at: Saturday, February 20, 2010 3:05:31 AM
