Favorite "deep cut" by the following bands

My selections listed below:

Queensryche - "Surgical Strike"
Judas Priest - "Bloodsuckers"
Iron Maiden - "Judas Be My Guide"
Black Sabbath - "Heaven in Black"
Dream Theater - "Raw Dog"
Fates Warning - "A World Apart"
Megadeth - "Endgame"
Metallica - "Escape"
Testament - "Malpractice"
Slayer - "Metal Storm / Face the Slayer"

Edit:

Judas Priest - The Rage
Iron Maiden - Tailgunner
Black Sabbath - Wishing Well
Megadeth - Take No Prisoners
Metallica - Trapped Under Ice
Testament - All I Could Bleed
Slayer - Skeletons Of Society

All are pretty good tunes but I think I'll go with Queensryche - Surgical Strike

Oh, sorry. I didn't specify what I was asking for.

I'd like folks to pick one deep cut from each of those bands, not one song from just my list.

Hmmm...

Queensryche - I was gonna say "NM 156" but that's sorta considered a minor classic, so I guess I'll go with "Neue Regel"
Judas Priest - "Solar Angels"
Iron Maiden - "The Clansman" (yes, really)
Black Sabbath - "I Witness"
Dream Theater - n/a (not a fan)
Fates Warning - n/a (not a fan)
Megadeth - "Kick the Chair"
Metallica - "Disposable Heroes"
Testament - "Hail Mary"
Slayer - "Hate Worldwide"

Great picks! Except that to me DH isn't too much of a deep cut.

I guess not but I was kinda goin' by the idea that it was never released as a single or became what you'd call a "hit."

Yeah. Just seems like those all MoP tracks are kinda treated as sacrosanct. Like Metal Hammer had their own tribute album to just that one Metallica album.

Ooops.

In that case...

Queensryche - I 'll stick with Surgical Strike
Judas Priest - Fever
Iron Maiden - Remember Tomorrow
Black Sabbath - Zero The Hero
Dream Theater - ? (only own 1 album by them)
Fates Warning - The Calling
Megadeth - Dance In The Rain
Metallica - Through The Never (this is difficult;I don't know if there really is a deep cut on those early albums)
Testament - Reign Of Terror
Slayer - Praise Of Death

Queensryche - "The Killing Words/The Whisper"
Judas Priest - "Blood Red Skies"
Iron Maiden - "Judas Be My Guide" for sure
Black Sabbath - "Ancient Warrior", honestly anything with Tony Martin.
Dream Theater - "Entire WDaDU"
Fates Warning - "Shelter Me", Inside Out in general.

I know it. I was struggling with that one. The old stuff seems highly celebrated (and rightly so), but I just can't find enough quality post-Black album outside of cover songs to even mention.

Yeah, that's pretty much where I am too.

I LOVE that first Dream Theater album and many seem to dismiss it. The keys are just excellent on it to me and all the songs work.

Queensryche - The Weight of the World
Judas Priest - Pestilence & Plague
Iron Maiden - Purgatory (Not really deep but kind of a forgotten classic)
Dream Theatre & Fates Warning - Haven't heard the hits let alone anything deep
Black Sabbath - You Won't Change Me
Megadeth - Breadline (Again it was a single but no-one liked it)
Slayer - Fleshstorm
Metallica - Hate Train
Testament - Down For Life

Good thread idea, ToB.

If I add a few more songs this would be a good compilation to make.

Queensryche - "En Force"
Judas Priest - "Fever"
Iron Maiden - "Total Eclipse"
Black Sabbath - "Under the Sun/Everyday Comes and Goes"
Dream Theater - (n/a)
Fates Warning - "Kiss of Death"
Megadeth - "Elysian Fields"
Metallica - "The Outlaw Torn"
Testament - "Alone In the Dark"
Slayer - "Postmortem"

I'm not 100% sure what a deep cut is, but I'll take it to mean a song that was not a single, had no video, was not the title track, the album opener nor an epic closer.

Using that, I've got:

Queensryche - Take Hold of the Flame (was actually a single)
Judas Priest - Savage
Iron Maiden - Back in the Village
Black Sabbath - Falling Off the Edge of the World
Dream Theater - Home
Fates Warning - We Only Say Goodbye
Megadeth - Tornado of Souls
Metallica - Bleeding Me
Testament - C.O.T.L.O.D.
Slayer - Altar of Sacrifice

Nice! We used to play that one live.

To me, it's also one that has not been played live very much.

To me, that one is not a deep cut because they play that live at pretty much every show.

Yeah, I wouldn't know. I last saw Megadeth 19 years ago, and I don't own any of their live albums. I was actually thinking it must be a popular song.

Queensryche - Not familiar enough with entire discography
Judas Priest - "Here Comes The Tears"
Iron Maiden - "Burning Ambition"
Black Sabbath - "Hand of Doom"
Dream Theater - Not familiar enough with entire discography
Fates Warning - Not familiar enough with entire discography
Megadeth - "Diadems"
Metallica - "The Mechanix"
Testament - "Reign of Terror"
Slayer - "Inna-godda-da-vida"

If it's okay with ToB, I would like to add a few more to fill up my comp. :

Dio - My Eyes
Ozzy - Lightning Strikes
Def Leppard - Lady Strange
Dokken - Til the Livin' End
AC/DC - Send for the Man
