I was a huge Saxon fan and loved live albums, so it was a no-brainer. A really cool experience and definitely the loudest concert I've ever been to.

I was lucky enough to see Motörhead at Heavy Metal Holocaust in Port Vale later that year. I was really into Motörhead, so, of course, I was dying for a live album. And yes, I'm thinking of Unleashed in the East, too.

As much as I love these neat, powerful '70s productions, there's some extra charm in '80s live albums that maimed the older, hard rock-oriented output through littered fields of thrashing rage. by heart since my (pre-?) teenage years which is, in fact, the perfect timeline to worship Motörhead, isn't it? Obviously, I loved its raw sound, the way most of the songs are played in a much cruder and vicious way, which suits Motörhead like a glove. found its way into my collection fairly late, but I knew No Sleep. Ricard (PROSCRITO): Ave Luxi, thanks for letting me spill some words of devotion once again. I heard "Wheels of Steel" back then and I didn't like the song and that was it. I have never heard The Eagle Has Landed or any other Saxon albums for that matter, I'm not a Saxon fan. I tell people this was the first album I appeared on as it was recorded in Leeds and Newcastle and I'm one of the voices in the audience on the Newcastle recording.Īnssi Korkiakoski (WISHING WELL): I think I heard No Sleep. I had attended both tours, the one where Saxon had recorded their live album and also was present on the Motörhead tour where they'd recorded No Sleep. Tony Dolan (VENOM INC.): Both albums I bought upon their release. I love this live record, such damn good sound. A DJ was playing, but my boom box radio was insanely loud and The Eagle Has Landed and Maiden's Killers overthrew the dance speakers. I bought on cassette when it came out and I played it at my 8th grade school dance. The songs are faster than on their studio records. I was 14 and my poor self needed them, so in I went and grabbed the entire box of dubbed tapes. There was a box of cassette tapes with albums recorded on them. This was before the Internet, so I hadn't heard them until I ended up at a friend's house who had them in his collection. Johan "J.J." Jonasson (STARBLIND): I think it was the early '90s. Thanks to Tarja Virmakari of Alpha Omega Management for her assistance We here at the shiny ivory tower of The Metal Crypt wanted to hear what these albums have meant for metal musicians, the kinds of influences they were and most importantly, how they see them today among the other live albums that have been released since. have withstood the test of time beautifully, making them true classic live albums. Many other live albums (some good and some bad) have been released since but. They also inspired some of us to become very active concertgoers. Those two live albums have been very important and meaningful for many of us (like yours truly) over these past four decades, being one of the main reasons we started loving those two pioneering metal bands in the first place.

Both albums showed that heavy rock/metal music was meant to be loud, heavy, shamelessly honest and uncompromisingly rebellious, full of raw energy and power that goes straight through the listener's mind and body. We are talking about Motörhead's No Sleep 'til Hammersmith and Saxon's The Eagle Has Landed (the latter recorded in 1981 and released in 1982). Time flies and it's been 40 long years since the uncrowned British metal legends, Motörhead and Saxon, released their first live albums. All interviews conducted by Luxi Lahtinen
