They should have stopped 'Layla' right before that infernally long piano thing at the end. Ruins an otherwise perfect song.

Also, they can cut out all those 15 minute organ solos from any Doors song, and they'd be better.

And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God... the genius of that.

Urban Hat€monger ?

Those are the best bits , i`d much rather organs than Morrissons 'poetry' *cough*

Oh, God thats a good call, the song just dies as it heads into that piano bit, I hate it. And like you say, it's an awesome song up until that point.

I disagree...the piano section of Layla might've been better without those whiny slide guitars in the background, but I like the piano (although actually, it might've been better to just make them two seperate songs). Also, that seen in Goodfellas where the camera zooms in and out of all the murdered men while the piano section of Layla plays is as beautiful as such imagery can be.

As for the Doors keyboard solos, they aren't great solos, but they're fine for a chorus or so. The longer ones, on the other hand, I would agree with you. Manzarek is far from an outstanding soloist (the solo in Light My Fire is supposed to be some sort of Coltrane homage...that's a joke, not only is it not a great solo, but suggesting it's anywhere near Coltrane's level (or even style, really)... ). I do like the keyboard bits in Riders on the Storm.

Quite a few AFI songs they go silent for about 5 mins sometimes for no reason, and Change The World by The Offspring

There are many bands which have silence in between songs. The most annoying ones are AFI, Oasis and the Offspring.

Edit: I hadn't read yet, but people agree. xD
