Yea that suxs, but old is old and touring pulls a lot out of you I am sure......Glad I was able to see them in 1984 in their heyday on the Heads or Tales Tour. I do remember that was an excellent show! -------------

Ahw. That's bad news for the fans, but good news to the boys. I sincerely hope to hear some low profile solo stuff and perhaps a farewell album  All in all. Saga is my number #1 band off all times.

All I remember about Saga is that MTV-shown video in the '80s with lyrics about something being "on the loose." Pretty tame stuff. It reminds me of a sales campaign slogan for Moosehead beer in the early '80s: "The moose is on the loose!" I'll take the beer over the band. ------------- "It just has none of the qualities of your work that I find interesting. Abandon [?] it." - Eno |

Head over to YouTube and check out the first three albums: Saga (1978) Images at Twilight (1979) Silent Knight (1980) (my personal favorite) Also check out the song "Hangman" from the Phase One archival release. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

If you don't like the band, and haven't ever even tried to look past a hitsingle they had in 1981, why even bother to post a reaction? If I may, I would strongly recommend any album by this great band, and ik particular Heads or Tales (1983), Generation 13 (1996), Network (2004) and 10.000 Days (2007). Still I don't consider "On the Loose" to be very tame. It's a great hardrock song with a pumping rhythm and great guitar-synth interplay.

They actually never broke up, and released at least 1 album every two years.
