Fade outs can work really well though, in different ways.
Say for example Sky & The Family Stone 'Dance To The Music' where the whole song has worked itself into a frenzy at the end and ending it would just take away the emotion and the best possible way to finish that track was to fade out with everyone singing over and over 'Dance To The Music....Dance To The Music...etc'
Or at the end of 'Time After Time' by Cyndi Lauper, where the whole tune is reduced to a whisper at the end and it gets quieter and quieter as it gets more gentle. Just ending it would have been crap.
Or of course the extended Slash solo on the end of Night Train by GNR. One of El Jefe's favourites that is.

'ready to craaaassshhh and buuurrrrrrn!' Slash is notoriously bad for not wanting to finish his solos.

Slash is notoriously bad for not wanting to finish his solos.
When I was well into Michael Jackson, I ha the dvd of his live MTV performance of Black and White, with Slash, and Slash does this solo and but he goes on for ages longer than it should, it's meant to be going onto Billie Jean and and Michael Jackon taps him on the shoulder and is like 'come on! get off!' and Slash shrugs him off and they go into Billie Jean anyway, cos it's obviously all preplanned with the set and everything and Slash just starts riffing to Billie Jean instead!! Eventually they drag him off but i always though that was pretty cool as ice.
yeah, pmsl, ive seen that.
Slash is so fucking cool.He was called in by Michael Jackson to play the guitar riff on Black and White so played in a session without Michael around but then Michael ended up getting some session musician to do it instead.
The bit in the video where Maculey Culkin is playing air guitar along to his stereo in the beginning is Slash though.

He's also in the video to 'Give In To Me' and puts in a cool solo then too.
Even Slash cannot outdo the legend of Eddie Van Halen and his amp catching on fire while recording the original 'Beat It' solo.
That is just rock and roll gold!

I like the Beat it Video when they dance fight!.
I also like the fact that it's been over 30 posts and this thread has been more of a conversation amongst friends rather than a proper discussion about fade-outs, which, let's be honest, was a pretty boring thread starter

Well, the particular track I had in mind was recorded by an obscure outfit known as The Murrumbidgee Whalers back in 1988, but unless you attended one of our gigs and bought a copy of the single, I doubt you'd know it

To be honest, I was hoping to derail the thread with my pitta bread comment, but you didn't bite

Oh god I missed that.
That is good riling, most people would've gone for the onion jibe, but you've taken it right back to the old classic original hate.

Classic original pitta bread hate is where it's at.
It's the best kind of hate. It's up there with genocide.

Aw poo, I'm being told I've got to go to bed. I expect this pitta vitriol to carry on in my absence.

Yours was better. I applaud you.
I have to go to bed now too. We need sadken or someone to carry on the hate, otherwise interneetstalker will come along and rave about them.
I think he makes love to Pittas in his private time.

Here for the football.
the way i remmeber that is slash was looking cool right where some pyro was about to go off and jacko pulled him a foot to the left so he still had a testicle left.
I have a guns n roses live in japan dvd thingy where slash does some epic knob twiddling at the end of double talkin jive mother fucker and drops into hendrix and out again and back in and then picks up the next song note perfectly 15mins later. class!
