Best song-ending add ons
 

Was just listening to November rain and got to the ending where the main part of the song is done and then it gets quiet before they come back with a totally different way to preform the same song. imo this can make an average song (like novermber rain) much much better.

What other songs have a good add-on at the end that takes the song from good to great?

Re: Best song-ending add ons
 

Does Baba O'Riley count? Or is the ending too much like the beginning?

Re: Best song-ending add ons
 

Layla.

Re: Best song-ending add ons
 

Helter Skelter?

Re: Best song-ending add ons
 

Rocket Queen

Castles Made of Sand

Re: Best song-ending add ons
 

The end of Abbey Road - the Beatles last album (Let it Be came out after, but was recorded before). They end with 'The End,' which is a nice (and appropriately titled) rocking McCartney bit that changes gears and ends on a pretty sappy note (lyrics : And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.)

They just couldn't end their studio career that way, though, so there's like 15 seconds of dead air at what you think is the end of the album, and then the unlisted track 'Her Majesty' comes in, a little twenty-second bit that's kind of funny ('I want to tell her that I love her a lot, but I gotta get a belly full of wine....Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl, some day I'm gonna make her mine.')

This is pretty lost on the CD version, since that last track is actually listed. On the vinyl, you have no idea it's there until you go to pick up the needle, then, BAM! there's this extra little song you had no idea was coming.

Is that true?

All three major songs on Pink Floyd's Animals could fall into this category IMO.

Blues Traveler, Hook.

Re: Best song-ending add ons
 

Was unaware Blues Traveler had songs besides "Runaround."

I had that album on vinyl and listened to it dozens of times. But I always took the needle off after The End. So I had no idea Your Majesty was on there for the first few years I had the LP.

But in general, I hate hidden tracks. It may have been cool when CDs first came out, but it was played out in 91 when Nirvana's Nevermind had a hidden track. It's certainly played out today.

One reason I hate hidden tracks: I never realize they have them. I didn't realize until I looked at that link that many Korn CDs have hidden tracks. I just eject the CD when the final song is over.

Jack Johnson - Flake

Re: Best song-ending add ons
 

In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth 3 - Coheed and Cambria
Take the Veil Cerpin Taxt - The Mars Volta (don't know if this counts but it has a bunch of random noises in the middle and then a kick ass ending.)

Trick Daddy- Sugar

November Rain is only second best in this category amongst Guns N' Roses songs- Estranged holds down #1.

How is this a lolleranything? When I saw the thread title, Layla was the song that instantly jumped to mind and I agree 100% with the poster who said Layla. The outro to the "plugged in" version of Layla is one of the greatest in the history of music.

Re: Best song-ending add ons
 

I always turn Layla off as soon as it goes into that gay sweepy part. Seriously, talk about an antithetical answer.

And also, I'm disturbed OP said November Rain was an average song (even without the powerful ending).

Double shame.

Re: Best song-ending add ons
 

Tool - The Pot

Re: Best song-ending add ons
 

Agree with Oatdyke/baumer on Layla.

But I do think November Rain is a pretty meh ballad without the ending solo.

Re: Best song-ending add ons
 

Any of you guys heard "Floods" by Pantera? The whole song is meh, but that outro...WOW! I wish they woulda made a whole song out of that riff.

Re: Best song-ending add ons
 

"Next Episode" by Dr. Dre, obviously.

Re: Best song-ending add ons
 

Thank You-Led Zeppelin II

I Don't Care About You -Guns N Roses. Leads into the hidden Charles Manson track on the Spaghetti Incident album.

Re: Best song-ending add ons
 

"The Second Album" lounge ballad by Stone Temple Pilots at the end of Purple.
It's probably not the best, but it warrants mentioning.

Two of the worst codas are by the Beatles:

Hey Jude
I Want You (She's So Heavy)

Re: Best song-ending add ons
 

'Epic' Faith No More

Re: Best song-ending add ons
 

Good Night Sky Harbour - Jimmy Eat World off of Clarity, track 13, awesome little electronic number.

damn right. The best use of this was definitely in Goodfellas when everyone was getting killed off. The song fit so perfectly for that sequence.
