Maidens heaviest songs

[Dick Brucinson]

If you were to pick the three heaviest Maiden songs of all - which ones come to your mind instantly?
For me:
- Montsegur
- Be Quick Or Be Dead
- Killers

Sure, there's many more, but that's the three that would come straight to my mind.

 

[reimdaase]

Brighter than a thousand suns
The Parchment
Ghost of the Navigator

 

[MindRuler]

Empire Of The Clouds

Spoiler

113.6 tons

 

[Brazilian Benjamin Breeg]

Brighter Than a Thousand Suns
The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg
Fortunes of War

 

[Kalata]

Brighter Than A Thousand Suns
The Reincarnation Of Benjamin Breeg
The Fallen Angel

more: Mother Of Mercy, Parchment, Book Of Souls, Starblind.

 

[The Red and the Black]

Where Eagles Dare
Revelations

When played live these songs hit like a sledgehammer.

 

[Ascendingthethrone]

Paschendale has to be up there, especially the live version

 

[riff]

Most have been mentioned but Total Eclipse is one that springs to mind.

 

[Stardust]

To Tame a Land
Rime of the Ancient Mariner
Sea of Madness
Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
El Dorado

Not sure if some of these actually count as heavy, but heaviness is a weird thing to judge anyways.

 

[GhostofCain]

Be Quick or Be Dead or Montségur.

 

[Siddharth]

22 Acacia Avenue
Stranger In A Strange Land
The Alchemist
When The River Run Deeps

 

[Abas]

80s:
The Prisoner
The Trooper
Losfer Words

90s:
Be Quick or Be Dead
Man on the Edge
Futureal

00s:
The Wicker Man
Paschendale
Brighter than a Thousand Suns

10s:
The Talisman
Death or Glory
Stratego

 

[Poto]

Montsegur has that happy 'as we kill them all' part so I wouldn't say that.

Probably Ben Breeg and 1000 Suns.

 

[Maiden95]

The Book Of Souls

 

[Starblind]

good topic, someone must make a playlist in spotify and share. (but don't put everything, songs like stranger in a strange are not heavy, come on)

i can add:
fugitive
judgement day (x-factor bonus)

and maybe:
run silent run deep
death or glory
mother of mercy
these colours don't run
futureal?

 

[Azas]

In terms of a metal attitude Be Quick or Be Dead is a clear winner, imo.

 

[PieceofMind89]

Killers
Where Eagles Dare
Sea of Madness
The Book of Souls

 

[Starblind]

so i made the list, maybe needs a little edit:

 

[GhostofCain]

Montsegur has that happy 'as we kill them all' part so I wouldn't say that.

Definitely not happy for the Cathars!

 

[Black Bart]

To Tame A Land
Fortunes of War
The Book of Souls

... it seems that the definition of "heavy" varies a lot from one user to another.
