The story behind the song

"Epic" captures the raw frustration of wanting something desperately but being denied it, a feeling that can tear you apart. The lyrics paint a picture of desire unfulfilled, leading to a sense of regret that "it's sad it happened and it's a shame." This powerful track, a blend of rap metal and funk metal, emerged from a natural riff developed in the studio by Faith No More's bassist Billy Gould, drummer Mike Bordin, and keyboardist Roddy Bottum. Released in 1990 from their album The Real Thing, it became a breakthrough hit, despite the band's low expectations. Playing it feels like channeling that intense push and pull of craving and loss.
