This thread is about Epic metal Guitar/Bass Riffs

Basically just post what you think is an Epic riff.
(Post a link if you can.)

Riff in Megadeth's Sleepwalker

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vu1NOgjHUss

Starts at 25 secs
Sleepwalker is good, I liked Never Walk Alone..A Call To Arms better.
There good, but i like Count Down to Extinction Best
Oh my bad XD I posted that on the wrong profile....I was at her house thinking i was at home...

The entire song is epic, but the riff of your caliber starts at 1:15


By the way, the arpeggios are alternate picked..
Wankery, Nuff said.

DT is just pure Wanking, I've gotten a chance to talk to a few of the band members ( John Petrucci, Mike Portnoy, James LaBrie ) And they are REALLY into them selfs. :/ Almost as much as Steve Vai <- HA

XDDDDD Lolz Epic, I forgot about this video...XD
well

Watch a lot of dream theater documentaries.

I'm not going to argue, I come with total bias (Dream Theater is my favorite band)
Here's a link to one of my favorite songs from the band X Japan. I've listened to the song..I couldn't tell you HOW many times, but I love the guitar in this particular song. It may be kind of hard to hear over the drums from time to time, but if you listen closely, you can hear how epic it is Ok

X Japan - Kurenai Live 1992

Now I'm not going to say, "ZOMG!! THIS IS LIEK TEH BEST RIFF EVAR!!!111111", despite liking this band a LOT, but I do believe I can associate "epic riff" with Hide's performance (damn I miss him..Cry )

Not to mention, the overall song, of just EVERYTHING is pretty epic in itself, so..even if you don't think the guitar is that great, you'll probably find something else within the song that will make you go Icon_suprised

Enjoy Mad
o_o, sorry but that was annoying as hell, the vocals were terrible
( from 0 to 1:30 )

o_O? Very nice riff, and bass line is nice
( 1:30 to rest )
The vocals were terrible..? Thinking

Well.."different strokes for different folks" as they say Icon_smile.
