Layla. The first three minutes are gold, and the rest is garbage.
You're insane.
Layla. The first three minutes are gold, and the rest is garbage.
Absolutely NOT. That second half (I always call it "coda") is just BEAUTIFUL and I almost like it better than the far more famous first part.
It's ok for the first 30-60 seconds, but it's bloody interminable.
So my opinion is wrong again. Fanbloodytastic. It's mob rule round here. You have to tow the party line or else you get destroyed.
Dude, settle down. You're overreacting. Nobody ever said anything close to "you have to tow the party line" - you just said something a lot of people apparently disagree with. That's quite literally it. You can take it personally or you can tell everyone to suck eggs like I would 'cause your opinion's just as valid
Seriously. And, since RoeDent's opinion was to disagree with the very premise of the thread, it's not surprising he got some disagreement, but certainly no one "destroyed" or attempted to destroy him (heck, I got more "destroyed" for my opinion about Layla).
Another candidate for this thread would be DT's Misunderstood -- for the same reason as Layla. The main part of the song is great. The end section is fine for about 30 seconds, but after that I move on.

Are we talking about original version by Derek & Dominos?
I was. I think the acoustic version Clapton did in the early 90s is downright awful because it lost one of the most epic riffs in rock history.
