History Main / BigRockEnding

* Completely averted in Defeater's "White Oak Doors", off the album "Empty Days and Sleepless Nights", which ends mid-word and quite abruptly as the protagonist is hit by a train. After that, there's a stretch of silence.

* The most important aspect of a Big Rock Ending is that the tempo goes away, and the band plays while ignoring tempo entirely. There's no beat or rhythm to Big Rock Ending at all. If the song has a steady beat until the end, it doesn't have a Big Rock Ending. A good guide is to see if you can tap your foot to the beat of the song until the song ends. If you reach a point where you can't tap your foot to the beat of the song, you may have a Big Rock Ending. Disclaimer: Tapping along to a song in [[UncommonTime Uncommon Time]] might not prove extremely difficult.

** Also from Iron Maiden, there's "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yq9ntSgEI78 Only the Good Die Young]]", with a ''double'' BRE... Which is then followed by an acoustic reprise of "Moonchild".

Music/{{ACDC}} just loves this trope. Especially when playing live (speaking of which, in regards to the TropeNamer, in the ''AC/DC Live'' Track Pack, only "Thunderstruck" and "Moneytalks" do NOT have [=BRE=]s. All other '''16''' songs have them).
