Queen's heaviest song...

Absolutely White Man. It is out and out pure heavy rock. The brilliance of it is that they're British and they did a song about the injustice done to the American Indians. Don't know why it never got the recognition it deserved. Maybe only Americans could appreciate it, it should have gone over much better here. Whether or not other countries could relate, it's just a great rock song.

Elton John had already beaten them to it i.e. British, doing a song about American Indians.

Stone Cold Crazy

I think fat bottomed girls would be queen's heaviest song *LOL*

Whatever. A lot of good its done SINGING ABOUT IT, now hasn't it?

Unrelinquished land "rights" (even through coercion and force)...

Good luck getting the self-righteous assholes to absolve themselves of "legal" (keep in mind, the law it had appropriated supposedly, was the same law it had supposedly rebelled against)


Like I said, good luck getting the self righteous ignorant CoLD assholes to relinquish "rights" to places that even the supreme court has rendered entitled by "natives"...



Sum up politics, its the ballot or the bullet, and when those with bullets disagree enough, you've gotta use bullets yourself.



Anywauys, back to the forum subject:

HEAVIEST: (classick rock) SON & DAUGHTER
EPIC HEAVY: riffs from PRINCES OF THE UNIVERSE, OGRE BATTLE (freddie's riff),
Dead on time.
CONTENT HEAVY: White Man, Prophet's Song, Somebody to Love, Mother Love, We Believe, Say Its Not True (if u can count em as Q)
All around heavy: White Man/Great King Rat (just drop it a key)

Ask Leonard Peltier if it was a good idea to use the bullet. Please engage brain before typing. And yes, back to the music. Best idea I've heard since the last time someone said that.

Yeah, he was involved with that, but several witnesses (some who would have reason to be biased towards Peltier) allege that one of the agents was taken out by his own "sides" fire...presumably accidentally.

Its really a grim expression, prob expounding on the mao tse tung one "political power grows out of the barrel of a gun"

Its meant metaphorically to a brain, literally to mercenaries.

The physical threat of violence either through physical, removal, ostricism or deprivation of a physical economy via imprisonment or poverty... Those are all examples of political power via the threat of force.

To make light of it and decide not to engage further, I'll just say "do you remember the scene in Monty Python's HOLY GRAIL ...where the groveling peasant states "see! See the violence inherent in the system!"

Reduced to a joke its funny, but in reality its not.
While a "message" is very much worthwhile, it doesn't do much. It DOES however, plant seeds of opposing viewpoints and wisdom; I like to think they Pythons have done much for that aim.

I agree that talking about bad stuff is definitely not helping anything get better, but what can we do? Go back in time and tell the colonists to respect the Native Americans?

On a similar note, I like how Queen rarely tries to make an actual statement, but when they do they to really make a point out of it (Death on Two Legs is a big FU to the delightful motherf**ker it's dedicated to; White Man, as previously stated; several anti-punk-rock songs on News of the World, namely Sheer Heart Attack, Fight From the Inside, and Sleeping on the Sidewalk). It makes the messages much more prominent, because they've stated before that they're "not a political band."

Also, more on-topic, I don't know why no one's mentioned it yet, but Dear Friends is quite worthy of consideration. It kind of blew my mind the first time I listened to it.

White Man is definitely a reminder that Americans should be ashamed of ourselves to this very day. It states a fact and it's a great song.

- Flick of the Wrist
- Son and Daughter
- Was it all worth it?
- Ogre Battle

"Stone Cold Crazy"

Any of their songs played in Drop-D (Fat Bottomed Girls, White Man, Headlong etc.) sound very heavy.

But to me it would be Stone Cold Crazy..
..or We Will Rock You (Fast BBC version)

thanks to everyone that posted here, I've been revisiting Queen lately was sitting around think I wish someone compiled a heaviest Queen songs CD, The Hitman and Gimme the prize are awesome, I'm working my way through the rest of the list. Brian is such an excellent soloist when it comes to guitar solos
I would put Dragon Attack in there too

Sheer Heart Attack. When I first heard the squealing high pitches towards the end I was like, WTF?!

The Hitman is another one, along with Tie Your Mother Down.

Umm...I cannot see where's the heavy part of Orge Battle,it's more artistic in my opinion.I'm in love with'I'm In Love With My Car'.

I recently showed White Man to someone who claims to be around 25-50% American Indian, and now he's kind of crazy about the song.
