10 Most Underrated Iron Maiden Songs

8. Be Quick Or Be Dead

Easily Maiden’s heaviest song, 'Be Quick Or Be Dead' drags the propulsive street energy of their first two albums into the post-thrash, paranoid 90’s.

With punk-y lyrics about wealthy fat cats and the shady powers that be, it features the badass, NYHC-esque lyric; "you’ve gotta watch them/be quick or be dead/snake eyes in heaven/the thief’s in your head." A highpoint of the band's patchy middle era.
