Long Songs

[Number of the Breast]

Iron Maiden and Dream Theater are my two favourite bands... so I'm a fan of long songs.

[Skummy]

But one of my favourite long songs is actually David Grays cover of Soft Cell's "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye", which clocks in at about 8 minutes.

And Jeff Buckleys - Lover You Should Have Come Over is class, at about 7 minutes long.

Both of those songs are utterly delightful, especially "Lover, You Should Have Come Over", but it's by someone with the last name Buckley, so it has to be

[The Kraig]

Chimaira - Implements Of Destruction. Purely intrumental, and there's about 3 minutes of weird noises at the end.

Green Day - Homecoming. Sort of like Jesus Of Suburbia. About 9 or so minutes long.

Avenged Sevenfold - Strength Of The World. I remember listening to this for a while, and it just kept going and I was like 'what the fuck?'. I liked it.

There's a good few Iron Maiden, Metallica and Guns 'n' Roses that haven't been mentioned which are pretty long.

Then again, any song that does over five minutes it pretty long nowadays.

Chronoclast by Buried Inside is actually a 40-minute song divided into 10 parts. Does that count?

Meshuggah kicks so much ass. It would fuck up all your favourite bands if there were some sort of world battle of the bands shit.

Then there's a bunch of techno/trance songs, which tend to run really really long anyway.
