Songs that fade off in the end

Hi everyone I feel that sometimes it works in songs like Wishlist and Black, but it can also ruin a song and the perfect example is In Hiding. With a proper ending it would have been a perfect song, but everytime I hear the end it irks me a bit.

    Agreed. Don't like fadeouts. Never have. Never will. Interesting topic for a first post. welcome to the Pit.

    I HATE fade outs! It will almost completely ruin a song for me. Especially in mid guitar solo. It is like the song never finishes and I'm always left wanting more. *cough*all or none*cough*

    Fade-out = too lazy to come up with a proper ending

    I think it's a good idea to have one or two or three on a full length record

    Rats is one that comes to mind as tastefully done.

    Life Wasted isn't

    Yeah, I hate fade outs too.. In the ten rough mixes of black, garden and deep there's no fade out and it's a much better ending.. The worst fade out of a pearl jam song, in my opinion, is army reserve.. Damn, I'd wish that the mike solo at the end continue at least for other three minutes

    Is this leaked somewhere?
    Also is there an mp3 of 'all or none' on the show box dvd. I don't have enough money to buy it, or really anything, right now.

    I agree with you 100% on Army Reserve. I want to hear all of Mike's solo at the end. It's great because when it kicks in, it gives different scope and dimension to an interesting song and keeps it going. but then the damn song just fades out, and i'm always left wondering what killer solo could have been to accentuate the song. and since i haven't heard it live, i don't know if Mike just takes the solo and runs with it or whatnot.

    Speaking of fade outs, I can't stand when a song fades out just to fade in for 15 or 30 seconds which does absolutely nothing but detract from the song. Can't remember the title, but that one AIC song from Dirt comes to mind. Plenty of others are out there.

    Weird - that song randomly came up this morning on my ipod and I thought the same thing: 'Rain When I die'. Also, in the same mix, Soundgarden's 'Searching with my good eye closed' came on - another that fades out and then back in... This must be international 'Fade out/In day'... in addition to being Halloween.

    I hate when they fade out during an ending solo, or really during anything for that matter. I mean Life Wasted live is far better than on the recording. Clearly, they dont fade out at the end, and its sounds tons better. Just my opinion.
