Everybody Up
I’m always leery when bands write songs about “rock” or “Rockin’ Out” or something about “rock”. I feel like that’s AC/DC’s territory and they are the only ones allowed to dance in that arena. They’ve kind of always been forthright that that is their thing and they are bereft of a lot of other ideas so, we need to let them have that. If Saxon was going to bring something more to that party I’d be less leery. But they don’t. It’s just more lunkheaded metal.
Oh man…it’s still on…it’s all soo…pedestrian.
Ultimately, they can’t decide if they are ACDC or, judging by the “Hot for Teacher” ripoff, “Give It Everything You’ve Got”, Van Halen.
Doesn’t matter. They aren’t as good as either.
