You have woken up. School has started. You know you want to stay home and play the guitar, but those mean people want you to go to school, don't they I like how I always start writing like this and I can't take it to the end and start laughing in the middle

Well, this morning I have discovered this great collection of epic tunes, which I wanted to share with you:



Do you feel stronger when listening to this sort of music? Which is your favorite?

great... the video can't be played in Germany due to copyright issues...

Posted by: wollace03 Sep 7 2012, 09:15 AM

interesting...it can be played in Austria...

I like to listen to epic tunes when I am in the right mood... Protectors of Earth #7 is really good....
At home I always end up playing the soundtracks of Lord of the Rings and of Braveheart...

Posted by: Gitarrero Sep 7 2012, 09:48 AM

It's a german thing, thanks to the almighty GEMA that won't grant youtube the rights to play everything...

Posted by: Ben Higgins Sep 7 2012, 10:11 AM

From that video, Protectors of the Earth and Lux Aeterna are my favourites. I don't know the former but I'm a big fan of the latter. The chord progression is so simple but the melody is just so powerful. How did he do it ??

No epic list is complete without this... I could go into battle with no weapons and kill 100 men after hearing this

aw yeah thanks for these man

Ben! Where's the image in the vid taken from - is there a comic or a cartoon?

Posted by: Ben Higgins Sep 7 2012, 05:37 PM

I think it's the poster for the original theatrical release of Conan the Barbarian

Posted by: Sensible Jones Sep 7 2012, 05:57 PM

It is the original poster. It was done by an artist called Boris Vallejo.
You can D/L a load of his pics http://www.wallpaperweb.org/wallpaper/fantasy/boris-vallejo.html

Along that same line I really dug the score to the 13th Warrior movie. This is a bit from the last battle sequence.

Posted by: Ben Higgins Sep 14 2012, 09:20 AM

Just an all round excellent, excellent movie !! Good call, Todd !

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Sep 14 2012, 09:22 AM

i think I've seen this movie about 5-6 times

Posted by: Ben Higgins Sep 14 2012, 09:25 AM

I think it's about time I saw it again. Now I just need to use my mind to will it onto the tv schedule......

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Sep 14 2012, 02:25 PM

I love epic soundtracks! This is one of my favourites!

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Sep 14 2012, 06:45 PM

OHHHHH! How I love this one!

Posted by: Nether Sep 14 2012, 06:55 PM

The mother of epic songs:



and another good one

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Sep 14 2012, 07:00 PM

Had the opportunity to perform Carmina Burana twice with philharmonic orchestras and the feeling is unmatched! It is by far the most dramatic tune! Next step, Lux Aeterna - I will try to work it out and see what I get

Posted by: MonkeyDAthos Sep 14 2012, 07:09 PM

:3 one thing that i like about animes, it's the epic battle music. and amazing ost's







this last one for that epic slow motion moment in battle where everybody is dying

i could go on for ever... xD

Posted by: Nether Sep 14 2012, 07:14 PM

I love to hear this one before a football match

Posted by: AK Rich Sep 14 2012, 07:52 PM

The entrance of the Crazy 88, more of a pre-battle song I guess from Kill Bill

Posted by: AK Rich Sep 17 2012, 10:05 PM

By-Tor and the Snow Dog square for battle ,let the fight begin!

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Sep 18 2012, 09:10 AM

Any Pantera song would do, I think

Posted by: Todd Simpson Sep 18 2012, 11:52 PM

I LOVE that film It's got Viking Metal written all over it. It's honestly one of my Fav films ever as I really like "cult movies". It did terrible at the box office and killed off the lead characters acting career, but I just think it hit the wrong audience at the wrong time.

Me too I never get bored of it. "Lo do I see the line of my people, back to the begining, they do call to me, bid me take my place among them" Great lines too

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Sep 19 2012, 07:47 AM

This movie did bad at the box office????????? I can't believe/ accept that

Posted by: Ben Higgins Sep 19 2012, 10:26 AM

It killed off Antonio Banderas' career ? I didn't know that. That's a shame as he's a great personality to have in a film. We all know the film Desperado of course but does anybody else know the film, Assassins ? He was great in that too, alongside Sly Stallone.

Posted by: Todd Simpson Sep 20 2012, 07:11 PM

Get ready to believe It was a MONUMENTAL bomb and stained many folks so badly they left the industry. Not the least of which was the lead character who played the main viking guy. He became a carpenter.

Here are the grizzly numbers.
Domestic Total Gross:[b] $32,698,899[/b]
Distributor: Buena Vista Release Date: August 27, 1999
MPAA Rating: R Production Budget: $160 million


It was one of the most expensive movies the studio ever did, the original direct quit and the writer took over. Then it bombed.

Personally, I LOVE THIS MOVIE TO DEATH! And count it among my favorites. I could watch it on a loop.



Not Antonio The big blonde viking guy. Antonio did just fine. DESPERADO is a GREAT movie. It's the sequel to the directors first feature film that he did for no budget called EL MARIACHI.

Todd

What you're saying here makes me wonder what people have for brains...how can you NOT LIKE that darn movie???

Posted by: Ben Higgins Sep 21 2012, 08:51 AM

Strange... I guess in 1999 all people could think of was sci fi and the Millenium ??

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Sep 21 2012, 02:16 PM

Well, enough of this! I like it and that's that! I WILL WATCH IT TONIGHT to celebrate what I just said

Posted by: Todd Simpson Sep 22 2012, 01:06 AM

Good question. I LOVED it. But then again, I loved Big Trouble in Little China which also lost TONS of money but became a Cult Classic




I actually suggested the film to friends and sadly none of them liked it. I still don't get it. I think it's just an amazing film.

Posted by: Ben Higgins Sep 22 2012, 09:25 AM

Yes, it's a great film. I love quite a bit of John Carpenter's work. He definitely had a unique way of creating suspense and horror with his relentless, droning music and dark melodies.

Posted by: Slavenko Erazer Sep 22 2012, 09:37 AM

Did u see this?

It's not bad movie at all...

Posted by: Ben Higgins Sep 22 2012, 04:26 PM

I haven't seen Thor yet... I shall trust your word on this, Slavenko !

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Sep 22 2012, 05:04 PM

You have to Chris Hemsworth is the new Schwarzie even if he doesn't schprechen zi doici, ja?

Posted by: Slavenko Erazer Sep 22 2012, 05:27 PM

HA,HA Viking Schwarzie, yeaaah

Posted by: Todd Simpson Sep 25 2012, 09:53 PM

Speaking John Carpenter, my FAV movie by him is still BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA and I used a clip of it in this video and took the song title from a spiff scene out of it

SIX DEMON BAG (Get it?)

Posted by: Ben Higgins Sep 26 2012, 01:20 PM

Immense Coolness is emanating from this video !

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Sep 27 2012, 10:45 AM

Indeed! Nice vid and inspired cohesion between the movie and the song name

Posted by: Todd Simpson Sep 28 2012, 11:58 PM

Thanks No real amps were harmed in the making of this video. It's all done in software (Smoke and Mirrors) which I've been getting in to more and more for home recording. I miss recording guitars really LOUD but my neighbors don't seem to miss it at all.







Mucho thanks I really dig semi obscure cult films. I use them for song titles and such quite a bit. That or something in latin

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Sep 29 2012, 07:43 AM

Latin example, PLEASE

Posted by: Ben Higgins Sep 29 2012, 09:57 AM

They were just in the final stages of forming the Anti Todd Vigilante Group but you saved yourself just in time by switching over to software !!

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Sep 29 2012, 11:50 AM

One time, last year, I was rehearsing Vivaldi for the Mozart Rocks gig and I had the Crate amp at home. It seems that a great part of my neighbors from the surrounding blocks near my house were on their balconies watching. I was facing my computer, meaning I had my back turned at the window. When I turned, I saw people watching and it felt pretty odd

Posted by: Ben Higgins Sep 29 2012, 12:39 PM

That must have been so weird !! Good job you weren't butt naked !

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Sep 29 2012, 12:43 PM

My friend...that's another story

Posted by: Todd Simpson Sep 30 2012, 03:56 AM

They skipped the vigilante party and went straight to calling the cops which wasn't hard as one lives in our building

Posted by: Ben Higgins Sep 30 2012, 02:28 PM

Oh... BUSTED !!

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Oct 1 2012, 01:52 PM

He just took his slippers and came to pay a visit, right?

Posted by: Todd Simpson Oct 2 2012, 02:44 AM

He just knocked and was in cool about it. I was blasting it to try to record solid tone but evidently you could hear it all the way down the hall. Our hallways act like a big resonator. maybe I should put my amp in the hallway?

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Oct 2 2012, 08:01 AM

I imagine this:



....happening to your neighbors

Posted by: Todd Simpson Oct 2 2012, 06:30 PM

Great clip! That actually did happen when I was mixing SIX DEMON BAG But it happened to me! Mixed too loud and exploded my skull. Had to glue it back on.

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Oct 3 2012, 07:42 AM

Wow Todd! You have the power of Jack Black!
