Heaviest Queen song?

I got my scales out and surprisingly the heaviest Queen song is Lily of the Valley weighing in at a hefty 7.3 metric tonnes!

Interesting.

Yeah ! I was suspicious about that. My balls always hanging much lower after I listened to that song.

The Hitman, Stone Cold crazy, SHA?

Hitman isn't heavy. They're trying to be heavy, but fail. Actually Innuendo is a lot heavier IMO.

The first album was the heaviest album they did. Great King Rat and Liar, Modern Times. Those were heavy for their time. Queen 2 was more piano melodic stuff, but still had some heavy stuff like orge Battle and the middle section of Father to Son. Sheer Heart Attack was the 2nd heaviest album. Brighton Rock, flick of the Wrist, Stone Cold Crazy, Tenament Funster. Later on It's Late, SHA, Dead On Time. Anything After Jazz was more pop rock. And yea, the hitman fails at being heavy. Please don't bring up Headlong, that's pop rock, Good song as it is.

In 1974 If you named the 5 heaviest bands of that time period would Queen make it? Obviously you had Sabbath, Deep Purple, Zep, The Who were heavy at times. Queen might sneak in there. Priest first album in 74 was more blues rock.

Well you`re on the right track..

The word HARDROCK actually didn`t exsist in 74`
At least in Germany Queen were called "one of the harder Rock groups" at that point.

I disagree. The Hitman is a heavy song. How can they fail with a great song like that! I agree with you about Innuendo. Heavy in parts, and happens to be my favourite Queen Song!

Earth probably weighs a lot.

I think only Black Sabbath could rival them in terms of "heavyness" back then, especially live.

Hitman IMO fails to be heavy due to bad production, programmed drums and mediocre songwriting.

Innuendo has mystique, dark lyrics, great sounding guitars. Roger thundering away on reverbing drums with a fantastic performance.

Yea, live they were even heavier. A shame only a few remember how heavy they were in those days.

The word "hard rock" was first used in print in 1959. It was already in common use in the late '60s to describe the rougher-edged electric blues-based psychedelic rock groups as opposed to the folk rock-based ones.
