Official Derek and the Dominos Thread

[MisterSchulz]

Whoa, there is no Derek and the Dominos thread!

I'd love the entire Layla album, i'd be willing to wait for its release as RB2 DLC, with an option to play both guitar parts, Duane and Eric.

Layla would be fun, Keep On Growing, I Looked Away, etc.

[MrDangeresque]

I second that.

[cbflame]

Motion seconded

[Vandabo]

At least Layla. That song is a masterpiece.

[kylerownsx62]

Layla being released as DLC would basically make my life...

[jayou521]

Derek and the Dominoes? .. Yes.

Layla please.

[classicrockdude]

the whole album Layla should be released. one of my favs

[eke826s]

I'd just be happy with some Clapton period.

[jRod666777]

anything with eric clapton playing the guitar that man is a genius

[RockBandRocker]

"Layla, you got me on my knees"!

Yes to anything Clapton related.

[invincible13matt]

Rock Band would never be complete without Clapton's guitar.

Put these guys in there and watch people celebrate.

[classicrockdude]

i would love them in rock band

If Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs was released, it would be by far the most "epic" and "legendary" DLC album available on Rock Band thus far. I was reading about the sessions on allmusic.com:


Then Polygram issued the Eric Clapton box Crossroads in 1988, which included a new remastering of "Layla" and the handful of other songs from the album; in the course of preparing that set, the producers stumbled upon the long-missing multi-tracks from the Layla album sessions. Thus, they had access to all of the outtakes as well as the raw material needed to remix the whole album. That was what they did on this box, rebuilding each song from its original multi-track session recordings on disc one.


The producers even included copies of the tracking sheets for the individual songs, the notes by the engineer detailing which recorded tracks to use and how and where solos, vocals, guitar harmony, fades, and other elements of the song related to each other when assembling the finished songs.

Sounds pretty damn promising in terms of having the necessary master/multi-track recordings. So I wonder what they could be waiting for?

Maybe they are waiting for in-game technology necessary to allow you to play both guitar parts, Duane and Clapton's. So possibly after RB: Beatles, which I'm hoping will feature some sort of rhythm guitar sections.

If not, then I don't know what the hell HMX is waiting for, because this album is a no-brainer.

"Layla and Other Assorted Love Stories" is a good album, it would be great if this album was released. But, honestly, all I really need in this game is Layla itself! Can't say I'd miss all the other stuff too much if I got this

[AngelFaceDevilMind]

I agree, Layla would be amazing.

[TheStuddz]

"Layla" is possibly my most-wanted song.

[LegendofRock3021]

I want "Bell Bottom Blues" and "Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad?" in addition to "Layla".

[TheStuddz]

Howsabout an Eric Clapton 12-pack, with his solo stuff, songs from Cream and the Derek & The Dominos songs mentioned by LoR3021 above? I think those were good choices.

[Backbeat60-62]

Isn't he stuck inside of Power Gig Rise of the Six String with some others who weren't aware of RB3 Pro mode?

I guess with this logic, he would only want his music in RB3 if it could be released in Pro mode only, but that wouldn't be all-inclusive to our button mashing brethren.

Yeah, I think so, but exclusivity doesn't last forever. Even if I have to wait a while, I want Clapton.

[TheStuddz]

Wait a minute. Clapton is in Rocksmith. Does this mean we can still get him?
