If it don’t involve Michael, it ain’t epic. Hell, even the vid is fucking epic. [media=youtube]6ZEAC27GysI[/media]

This is epic. It’s a slow build up, though.

Really hoping these guys come out with some new material since they’re back together and touring again.

No [media=youtube]DbeGTgt0RWQ"[/media] ?
I am disappointed in you SRK.
Mozart’s Dies Irae [media=youtube]DFq-HHA0k2E[/media]
Exactly. And

Is this really epic music? It’s hilarious.
Adding Verdi’s requim and dies irae because it is intense [media=youtube]ZDFFHaz9GsY&NR=1[/media].
I’m guessing epic music is like orchestra opera type music that moves really fast and is about olden times of battles with swords and stuff.

Not necessarily. Rhapsody in Blue is just amazing: [media=youtube]1U40xBSz6Dc&feature=related[/media].
Night on Bald Mountain: [media=youtube]V8Ca_edg6RE[/media]
Same with Sorcerer’s Apprentice is another one which is fantastic: [media=youtube]t2Rfriax4DY&feature=related[/media]
Rite of Spring (which is also featured in the original fantasia) caused a riot when it was originally performed. It was considered a great success because of it: [media=youtube]SgHMpYsv0_0[/media]
And one of my personal epic pieces of music, Schubert’s Death and the Maiden: [media=youtube]XoZJkkWX8Yw[/media]. The first time I heard this piece I was waiting for one of my classes to start and something about it just made me start crying uncontrollably.
During the time of Big Band, these were pretty damn amazing: Sing Sing Sing [media=youtube]rtB6dijjWl8, and In the Mood http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJE-onnw2gM[/media].
In country music you have: Boy named Sue [media=youtube]-1BJfDvSITY and Folsom Prison Blues http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWsuVuw5JO4; you also have Loretta Lynn with The Pill http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoqErv8bdcI (sending middle fingers in the 60’s), and Willie Nelson’s On the Road again http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TD_pSeNelU[/media]. Honestly, country is full of epic, people are just horribly misinformed about it.
Blues has The Thrill is Gone [media=youtube]4fk2prKnYnI[/media], (and a lot more, just not as well acquiented with the genre as I wish I were).
Clapton has Tears in Heaven [media=youtube]d3UB5Fr80SM[/media], made even more epic because it was his first performance of the song after the death of his son.
Billy Joel has Piano man [media=youtube]JJAyFsOjFCg&feature=related[/media].
Leaving a bunch of genres out but yeah, epic is across all genres, not just one stylistic direction.
Adding Don McLean’s American Pie [media=youtube]uAsV5-Hv-7U&feature=related[/media].
Edit: fixed a link to a better quality video and adding American Pie.
The concept of “epic music” is way too subjective, almost as bad as trying to describe “good music.” I would never put American Pie as epic music, but I also know its way to nebulous a term to argue over.
[media=youtube]nT1H-18HwYU[/media] THIS!!
This is epic music.

Honestly this always got my hyped. and thats what I define as epic.

An epic is a long composition with a protagonist that takes place over long periods of time. If you transfer this over-abused word into sound you’d have way more than the ten minutes YT allows you. :nono:
