Hah! thats epic, what did oyu get up to?

Had a 1 man 20th birthday party, was drinking to try and get some temporary relief from this depression I've had lately and I kept on drinking until I passed out. So I seem to gather from what I drank that I didn't find any relief.

Alcohol isn't the solution man. :(

sorry its not over 8 minutes or so, but this song is really deep for me.

I can't believe all these post and no ones said the most Epic song of all...



FREEBIRD..

J D Blackfoot. The song of Crazy Horse. 19 mins 7 seconds.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Xh5GUkK0u4&feature=related

Ted Nugent. Stranglehold. 8 mins 15 seconds
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRjGX3jYFYk

Stevie Wright. Evie. 11 mins 13 seconds
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-9014157231585736557

Actually I would have liked to have a completly new post for this song.
It deserves it.

Its one of Aussies Legendary songs, it'll bring a tear to the eye of a whole generation of Okkers.
Stevie Wright was in a group called 'The Easybeats' they had several hits & another member of the band was the older brother of Angus & Malcom Young.

They went on to form a group called 'AC&DC'

-----------------
Theres a song called 'Journey to the centre of the electric cabbage' or similar.
I'm sure its Ted Nugent.

FREEBIRD..

The mantra of the idiot :D

I would have to say... without doubt... Godspeed You Black Emperor - The Dead Flag Blues

Alice's Restaurant - Arlo Guthrie. 18 odd minutes

Achilles Agony and Ecstasy in 8 Parts - Manowar
What could be more epic than a 28 minute adaptation of one of the greatest epic poems of all time: the Iliad.

"War Pigs" is only 7:58, but who gives a fuck.

War Pigs.

Had a 1 man 20th birthday party, was drinking to try and get some temporary relief from this depression I've had lately and I kept on drinking until I passed out. So I seem to gather from what I drank that I didn't find any relief.

Jägermeister is a good cure.

When I think epic. Something that goes longer than say.. 8 minutes?

Long =/= Epic

Long =/= Epic

Indeed. Electric Light Orchestra didn't have long songs.

I strongly disagree with you.

Jägermeister is a good cure.

I can't stand Jägermeister, I'm more of a beer, whiskey and reefer man. Never been a fan of liquers, well, except for a couple of coffee liquers.

As always, a few favourites:

Wappenbund - Fremde Fahnen Part I (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdmUnca7y6w)

Laibach - Sympathy for the Devil (Rolling Stones Cover) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_zA7nukoZA)

Laibach - B. Mashina (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgqjnzkYPnA)

Triarii - Heaven and Hell (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_C8-pjA5iI)

In the DVD The Song Remains The Same, Dazed and Confused - twenty something minite medley, its almost mystical, blows me away everytime i see it and makes me wish i was born in the 60's

most of pink floyds work is epic

echoes, dogs, pigs, sheep, atom heart mother

but especially echoes

Meh, for me, 'long' doesn't make a song epic, it's gotta take you on a journey man. Dante's Inferno by Iced Earth is epic. So is IE's The Clouding. They have several epics, come to think of it. And the first track from Manowar's Triumph of Steel is epic. It's about Achilles and the battle of Troy.
