MindCrime Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 What songs have a guitar solo, or just a rhythm section that you think should've been made longer to better fill in the song ? -a few that I think so- Jimi Hendrix - Little Wing Led Zeppelin - Over the Hills & Far Away The Doors - The Crystal Ship (the organ piece in the middle) Eagles - Hotel California (prominent solo at the end) Rolling Stones - Honky Tonk Woman Pink Floyd - Careful with that Axe Eugene! (it's a long enough instrumental as it is, but I really love this one) Grateful Dead - Box of Rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In heaven Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Wire the Pink Flag record most of the songs are 1 minute long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 I think that Wish You Were Here would have been even better if it had contained more verses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted July 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 I agree with you Scott, if that song were twice as long, it would be even better. Thank You by Led Zeppelin could've had the second chorus repeated a few times, it's upsetting how they only sing that part once, it's a true beauty of a song.

beatleant Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 "Back Where You Belong" by Foreigner. I LOVE this tune but oh how I wish they carried the outro for another 30 minutes or so. IMO, the best vocals on any Foreigner tune. "I'm Your Captain" by Grand Funk (btw, this guy went on saying it's called "Closer to home" or "Closer to Home/I'm Your Captain" and I tried to explain that for some reason they titled it like that for GH packages but it's officially called, "I'm Your Captain." He went on to try and discredit me over something so trivial). Anyhoo, there are a couple of instances... 1) After the middle part are you really scheming... take my ship away from me... it kicks into high gear. However, it only lasts a few measures. Oh how I wish it went on for say, 30 minutes! 2) After that last verse, the tune goes slow and you hear ocean effects. After a few, " I'm getting closer to my home... (tune) kicks back in. Then Mark does this nice bluesy, 2 string bend licks. And again, it doesn't last long and I'm thinkin' maybe it should be say, 30 minutes!! So let's add it up... Song's originally 10 min long. Add my two parts @ 30 min ea = 1 hour and 10 minute tune. I can live with that!! Ant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, the best vocals on any Foreigner tune. That's really in love with a song LOL I've heard a lot of songs that were typical 3 minute tracks, that I wouldn't have minded being about 10 times longer & I'd still listen all the way through. There's a lot of Jimi Hendrix songs that would be nice with a longer jam session. There's also a lot of Bob Marley that I could listen to for hours on end.

Batman Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 I would like the hard rock part of Bohemian Rhapsody (so you think you can stone me and spit in my eye...) to last longer. Immigrant song sounded better on the live album when they added a solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenacious_Peaches Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 It tickles me that we had another thread going about things in songs that annoy you, and a lot of the answers were about songs being too long. Now we want songs to be longer. I love this board and everyone on it! Rock on, people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXX Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 The Smiths should have recorded more songs that sounded like "Oscillate Wildly". Even this song should have been a minute longer and perhaps have had a b-side version with lyrics in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aunt_Acid Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 I think that Wish You Were Here would have been even better if it had contained more verses. Right on! Also, I think the Immigrant Song should have been longer. It always sounds like it was cut short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R_Soul Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 For me: "Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me" by The Smiths and "White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammy11173 Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 'Fun, Fun, Fun' by the Beach Boys always seems to go by too fast for me. Maybe,if it were a little bit longer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jillianne Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 IMO Solo's can't be long enough :guitar: The Beatles tended to have short songs, it would have been class if they were a bit longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJonSurfer Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 OK...I know the last message posted here was over six months ago....but I always thought that Candy's Room by Springsteen could have been much better if that solo was extended another minute. :guitar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
