Based on comments about Life Wasted (people liking the fade out, people hating it) what are your thoughts about PJ use of fading?
Daughter, No way, Rival….there are good examples of these type of songs.

Discuss.

Because it's the intro song, and because the Life Wasted theme runs throughout the record, I think it was right to fade it out rather than stop it dead.

However, fading out Mr. McCready is another matter entirely...

i don't like fades.

i think it's mostly done for radio, but there can be other reasons too.

(see: wishlist)

the main problem is where in the song it fades, imo life wasted has a long enough solo at the end and fades at a good time and it flows into wws well, but big wave on the other hand fades out when it feels like the song is only half done like they werent bothered with a final chorus or anything.

Thank you for clarifying. I really don't know Pearl Jam's music all that well. And I just found out what a guitar solo is three days ago.

i don't like fading... it makes you too aware of it being a recording, i always perfer finishing the song, fading seems like a cop out to me... even in movies i think fades are a delicate thing to mess with, and often are annonying

Plus you cant do a fade live.

When your playing 90 different songs, it would be good to know how they all end. PJ often sound to me like they are having a hard time tying songs up, so I say NO FADE EVER!

Fading is usually a terrible way to end a song. There are some cases where it fits right, but 99% of the time it's misused and isnt needed.

the fade on life wasted album version doesn't bother me, although it does a little when watching the video.

i love the fade out to all or none though.
fits it. perfectly.
