solid ball of Rock is my sOD (song ofthe day) --SaXon is also my band of the day as rumor is not a bad track on Carpe Diem so heading there next if it is on youtube...
One night in Louisiana Down by Highway 84 You would hear a strange dog calling Outside his mama's door The baby was a killer The cousin was a priest The baby upped and said I play the music of the beast The devil in concordia Looked down and waved his hands The boy with jack-hawk eyes Became the leader of the band The connoseur of rhythm Rock and roll and swing But when it comes to boogie You know that he's the king Solid ball of rock Solid ball of rock Solid ball of rock Crashing out of the sky Shakin' all over But he don't know why The devil went to Memphis As he flew into the sun Howled about redemption With a bible and a gun The preacher beat his chest And cried: "Set my people free" The killer said: "I drag you To the gates of hell with me Solid ball of rock Solid ball of rock Solid ball of rock Crashing out of the sky Shakin' all over But he don't know why The killer he was born again He saw the gates of hell The preacher found redemption In a Jacksonville motel Devil take the hindmost They're running out of breath They're gonna have a reckon With the chilling hand of death Solid ball of rock Solid ball of rock Solid ball of rock Crashing out of the sky Shakin' all over But he don't know why Solid ball of rock Solid ball of rock Solid ball of rock Crashing out of the sky Shakin' all over But he don't know why
I have a question out of ignorance, why is it, that even British musicians commonly write songs about US states? Especially Lousiana and Georgia (and the Devil being from there)?
they still made a lot of good music in the 2010's hopefully covid ends whenever it does i know the 2020's will be a good decade for saxon. they already made a 2021 album.
After their disastrous 80's Def Leppard-esque Glam Metal direction in an effort to crack the US Market which led nowhere, it must have been so refreshing to hear them busting out guitar-centric raw metal again with this album although Dogs of War and Unleash The Beast would prove to be much heavier and crushing efforts than anything they ever did before. Concerning this song, it reminds me a bit of You've Got Another Thing Coming by Judas Priest.
One of the best ever intros to a song ever!
Nobody can disagree!!!

Sounds Like U.D.O. or Bon Jovi
such a criminally underrated band
Underrated band??? Τhe Saxon???
@@shadownation992 I think they were because there wasn't a lot of talk about them. Still a great band!
It's a great song from Saxon!!! A hard/heavy song with a Strong chorus!
It was actually written by Bram Tchaikovsky and Mickey Broadbent. It appears as a bonus track on the box set of the three Bram Tchaikovsky albums.
These riffs are beautiful.
simple simply the best

One night in Louisiana
Down by Highway 84
You would hear a strange dog calling
Outside his mama's door
The baby was a killer
The cousin was a priest
The baby upped and said
I play the music of the beast
The devil in concordia
Looked down and waved his hands
The boy with jack-hawk eyes
Became the leader of the band
The connoseur of rhythm
Rock and roll and swing
But when it comes to boogie
You know that he's the king
Solid ball of rock
Solid ball of rock
Solid ball of rock
Crashing out of the sky
Shakin' all over
But he don't know why
The devil went to Memphis
As he flew into the sun
Howled about redemption
With a bible and a gun
The preacher beat his chest
And cried: "Set my people free"
The killer said: "I drag you
To the gates of hell with me
Solid ball of rock
Solid ball of rock
Solid ball of rock
Crashing out of the sky
Shakin' all over
But he don't know why
The killer he was born again
He saw the gates of hell
The preacher found redemption
In a Jacksonville motel
Devil take the hindmost
They're running out of breath
They're gonna have a reckon
With the chilling hand of death
Solid ball of rock
Solid ball of rock
Solid ball of rock
Crashing out of the sky
Shakin' all over
But he don't know why
Solid ball of rock
Solid ball of rock
Solid ball of rock
Crashing out of the sky
Shakin' all over
But he don't know why
BOOM!

@@MoonOvIce Because they're referencing old American blues songs in acknowledgment of the origins of rock music.
Just a great album !!!
Great !!!!!!!
Very Sensational Alex Harvey Band sounding.
they still made a lot of good music in the 2010's hopefully covid ends whenever it does i know the 2020's will be a good decade for saxon. they already made a 2021 album.
I believe they just released a 2022 cd: Carpe Diem, because it's listed as 2022
