Some songs have introductions that are just so awesome. What's your favourite?

 

 

 

Mine would have to be Assassin by Muse. It starts off almost like Nightrider. But then goes into some awesome guitar and drumming.

 

 

 

What about you?

Plug in Baby, also by Muse, is a great one. All along the watchtower by Hendrix and Metallica's Fade to Black as well, all for their brilliant solos.

 

 

 

Grapevine and Satisfaction also get me going. I think my favourite though is Sunshine of your love by Cream. Come on, who doesn't know it? You hear it and you instantly think something really cool is going to happen.

Shine on You Crazy Diamond by Pink Floyd, Fade to Black by Metallica, Rosetta Stoned (if you listen to Lost Keys before it) by Tool, and I Wanna Be Adored by The Stone Roses.

smoke on the water, we will rock you, get down make love (nine inch nails cover)

I love Muse. They're one of the best bands that ever lived, but that song is crap. You should try Hysteria, Plug In Baby and Map Of The Problematique for good Muse intro's.

 

 

 

My vote would be either Juicebox by the Strokes or Morning Glory by Oasis.

Shine On You Crazy Diamond

 

Can't Stop by the Chili Peppers

 

Pinball Wizard by The Who

 

Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns N' Roses

 

Money For Nothing - Dire Straits

fight fire with fire - metallica

glass prison - dream theater

jimi hendrix's puprle haze - it is just... eh. awesome? And my fav from jimi is red house's intro. Simple but ah so enjoyable.

 

 

 

I'd also say muse but everyone entered them already - for a good reason

 

 

 

Also, rage against the machine's bombtrack has awesome bass intro. Faster bass playing than normal guitar-playing . Rest of the song pretty much suck :-s

 

 

 

and AH :3> the strokes - vision of the division intro

Dream Theater - A change of seasons. The whole song rocks but that intro.... awesome.

 

 

 

Meatloaf - Bat out of hell.

 

 

 

ACDC - Back in black.

 

 

 

Survivor - Eye of the Tiger

 

 

 

Iron Maiden - These colours don't run. The rest of the song is a bit iffy but I love the intro.

 

 

 

Liquid Tension Experiement - Acid Rain

 

 

 

Symphony X - Sea of lies. Awesome bass part for this.

 

 

 

Iron Maiden - The trooper

 

 

 

Black Sabbath - Iron Man

In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 - Coheed and Cambria

 

Enter Sandman - Metallica

Pinball Wizard by The Who

 

 

 

Totally reminds me: Teenage Wasteland by The Who is freakin' awesome.

You're probably thinking of Walk. And yes, that intro riff is amazing.

Pinball Wizard by The Who

 

 

 

Totally reminds me: Teenage Wasteland by The Who is freakin' awesome.

 

 

 

Baba O'Riley :wink:

 

 

 

Mine would be:

 

Knocking At Your Backdoor, Burn, Demon's Eyes, Child in Time and Speed King - Deep Purple

 

Sultans of Swing (so corny yet so nice) - Dire Straits

 

The Song Remais the Same and Black Dog(probably the most rock'n'roll opening ever) - Led Zeppelin

Herr Mannelig - Haggard

 

Gipsy Eyes, Purple Haze and All Along the Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix

 

Cocaine and Sunshine of your love (those really sound alike) - Clapton

 

 

 

Loads of personal favorites up there. :D

I liked Overture 1928 into Strange Dejavu (Dream Theater), if that counts.

 

 

 

Aces High (Iron Maiden) is good too. And Ace Of Spades, by Motorhead.

Where is the Love? - Black Eyed Peas.

Right... that was off beat...

 

 

 

Anyway...

 

 

 

Ayreon - To the Quasar (But only if you listen with headphones)

 

Nightwish - Feel for You

 

Epica - Sensorium

 

Theatre of Tragedy - A Distance There Is

Pinball Wizard by The Who

 

 

 

Totally reminds me: Teenage Wasteland by The Who is freakin' awesome.

 

 

 

Ah yes, and of course all the other diddley diddley synthesised Who tunes, great stuff :D

(hed)pe - Suck it Up. Like a boxing match, then goes nuts.

 

The Living End - West End Riot. Starts with a good guitar and drum combo.

 

Midnight Oil - Blue Sky Mine. Dunno, the mouth organ just gets to me.

 

Queen & David Bowie - Under Pressure. Reminds me of a skate vid that has this song on it. Still makes me laugh. :lol:

I love Muse. They're one of the best bands that ever lived, but that song is crap. You should try Hysteria, Plug In Baby and Map Of The Problematique for good Muse intro's.

 

 

 

My vote would be either Juicebox by the Strokes or Morning Glory by Oasis.

 

 

 

Hysteria and Map Of The Problematique are good songs, but I think the intro for Assassin is much better. The song throughout isn't as good though.

Pink floyd does cool song intros, as well as Black Sabbath. and Jimi Hendrix's Crosstown Traffic

elton john funeral for a friend or cow girl in the sand -neil young

Ah and heres some also:

 

 

 

system of a down : chop suey! and forest

 

 

 

Franz ferdinand: the fallen

 

 

 

Queens of the stone age: a song for the dead and avon

 

 

 

Foo fighters : learn to fly(classic)

Foo Fighters always have funny music clips. There one for Low is pretty funny aswell. Jack Black must be a friend of Dave Grohl cause I've seen him in a few other of his bands clips aswell.

hmm I have a couple.

 

 

 

Iron Maiden - Hallowed be thy name

 

 

 

Dream Theater - Octavarium

 

 

 

The intro to this is amazing. Very slow, but fits the song perfectly.
