I think the violins sound great on this. Plus the violinists are gorgeous. If you don't like it, there's 5000 Saxon concerts available where you can hear Crusader with just guitar. If you feel 30 year old songs should be played exactly the same way forever you might want to get your head examined. Open your minds a little. For Wacken I'm sure the band felt they should add something special, and they did.
Well stated. I enjoyed that the strings and additional percussion only added to impact of the song. I also enjoyed that the tempo, vocals, guitars and drums sounded very close to the studio track. Classic!
Crusader was the first song I'd ever heard from Saxon--my cousin had the tape. I wanted it SO bad... there was no internet, no mp3s, no anything. I finally bought my cassette at Camelot Music (fitting) in Brownwood, Texas in 1987 and wore that tape out. So many good memories. :)
I fuckin love this song...I was 17 when I listened to ....I still love it fondly...back then me and my brother Edwin used to dream about travel to London and stalk Biff ...RIP Edwin...next life we'll travel to London and spook everyone😂
Awesome band still kicking ass love these guys i grew up listening to saxon iron maiden Judas priest motor head ect awesome times n great concerts 💪💪💪👍👍👍
nach so fiel zeit steht das spiel immer noch genauso da wiean der ersten sekunde des anfangs ,wie ein einfrieheen der schonsten momente zur ewigkeit ,saxon for ever !
those 'Flippen violinist's' added a hell of a lot and made it real special on Wacken and Saxon's anniversary. plus what awesome musicians and really gorgeous girls they are! you're a really sad guy angelwolf get a girlfriend/boyfriend or summat geez man
I saw Saxon for the first time way back in 1984 in Mainz Germany. My first heavy metal concert and this was the first metal song I heard live. This song kicked butt back then - I see they still kick butt in 30 years later. Especially those drums by Nigel Glockler - sounds like a galloping horde of Crusader steeds and swords clanging.B-)
The song that got them banned from Dubai. I have absolutely loved this band since the late 70s. I’ve also studied he fascinating history of the Crusades, and followed their footsteps in Jerusalem and the Knights of St John and the Templars across Cyprus, Rhodes and Malta, which makes this song extra special for me.
The best performance of one of their bests song in the best heavy metal festival, i see this in streamign in 2014, i was 13yrs old, AWESOME performance!
wooo,woooo,wooooo,wooooooo,en serio despues de muchos años para ser exactos desde 1987 cuando los conoci, con este tema genial y ahora remasterisado en alta definision wooooo mis respetos maestros

The Violinists enhance the musical experience, it kicks Ass!!
I'm a 50 year old man and i'm listening metal between 40 years.
SAXON is still powerful and violins give élégance ti this song
Agreee. I'm 50 as well-
I hear you, and of a same age... Rock on, buddies! ^_^
53 here and still listening to Metal as its the only music that makes sense in this fucked up world
i'm 58. this song is elegant itself. Metal up my ass...and your too bro! God bless us all!!!

I Saw Saxon in the 80's/90's many many Times Fab then and Fab Now with the Extra [ Super Sexy ] Strings
Violins don't take anything away and add depth.
i think they ADD to the depth of the song. Metal is just classical music with electricity!!
Well stated. I enjoyed that the strings and additional percussion only added to impact of the song. I also enjoyed that the tempo, vocals, guitars and drums sounded very close to the studio track. Classic!
Why you tripping
Thank you Marian Cvlik....For God and Europe, and Free world, yeah!!! Up Saxon for ever🤟🤟🤟.....
God and Europe is like oil and water sadly.
💪
"For God and the free world"
For me, fuck the world
Ein Band meiner Jugend die ich mit 55 immer noch höre❤🎉
I always like the song Crusader but this orchestrated version is the best one they ever have made.
absolutely
Fight the good fight
Believe what is right
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm \m/
Loved that band in the 80's. Still powerful in their old age!
On vieillit avec eux mais l'envie et intact...👍

I found the First Album and Crusader, on lp at a church garage sale in 1985, both were just 50 cents each, in New York...
Magical day.

FOR GOD AND ENGLAND !!!!!
DEUS VULT

Saw 'em in 1984 at the San Jose Civic. Still best show in my mind! Accept opened and they were also awesome!!!
I could listen to that drum bit at 1.17 a thousand times and never get bored of it!
those 'Flippen violinist's' added a hell of a lot and made it real special on Wacken and Saxon's anniversary. plus what awesome musicians and really gorgeous girls they are! you're a really sad guy angelwolf get a girlfriend/boyfriend or summat geez man
yes, it was a really nice surprise for us being at the concert.
