tas7 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 La Villa Strangiato is up there with Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite in terms of complexity and in the same way is a musical story as all the parts have names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel Rat Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 (edited) A non-epic is composed of these traditional sections: Verse + Bridge + Chorus + Guitar solo/instrumental interludes, all intended to be musically related. If the song doesn't branch out into anything more than this, it's definitely not an epic. Headlong Flight doesn't; it's just long. Â Frankly, this absurd question could only be asked by someone who simply doesn't know what an epic is. Edited April 21, 2012 by Steel Rat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trenken Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Hell no. It doesnt feel like a very well crafted journey like Red Barchetta, or Xanadu, or anything close to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presto-a RUSH fan! Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Wow...I thought more would say yes. I said NO! As much as I love it I don't think it qualifies as an epic. It's just not on the level of songs that I consider epic like 2112, Hemispheres, Natural Science, Xanadu...songs of that ilk. While I love this song, it doesn't qualify.  I'm hoping Clockwork Angels or Seven Cities of Gold will be though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guinness2112 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Who ever voted no is a BIG D BAG. WE have not heard Alex play a solo like this in years. It`s a sound I`ve been waiting to here in decades. Totally different and loving it. So all you so called poser Rush fans who constantly critique the band get a life and go back to reading Rolling Stone Mag. True fans know how freaking epic this song is.

guinness2112 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Nice comeback. What are you twelve. This forum constantly has polls that voice opinions where we rate certain aspects of this band. Cut the crap with this song is better or more epic than others. We all sound like a bunch of girls. The trio deserves better than our petty arguments for or against what ever they do. With that being said I think No one at the bridge is F.......ing Major Epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey man, you're the one that called 2/3rds of the forum poser D-bags who aren't true fans. Your words, not mine. If you level that kind of rhetoric at 65% of the forum, expect to get responses. [edit: it's up to 66% now.] Edited April 21, 2012 by danielmclark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guinness2112 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Sorry, Just tired of idiot fans who try to define epic. Epic is whatever you want it to be.
