Ooh yes

What's Zack DLR doing now? Know the rest are Audioslave with Chris Cornell (very cool...couple of tracks in the Miami Vice film too!), but he seems to have disappeared...

Edit: Had a look...and not a lot...some collaborations but nothing concrete:-

Best intro to a song is...

1,2,3,4.


Very close, but not quite. It's

1,2 a 1,2,3,4 Can't get enough - Bad Company

Haven't read the whole thread yet but nobody so far has mentioned how much better the intro to "Smoke on the water" is on "Live in Japan" than the studio verion !!

Oh, and the intro leading up to the snare hit on Texas' "I don't want a Lover" is the best track to drive up the acceleration lane onto a motorway, Sun burnin' Stereo on self-destruct - Yeeehaaaaa !!

Good, but you gotta hear Jeff Beck's version on the album "Beck, Bogart and Appiche"

Hendrix - Foxy Lady


I'd vote for CrossTown Traffic

And in a similar vein, Spanish Castle Magic


Red House . . . let that guitar cry baby!

I was more thinking 'South of Heaven' for them...the drums build it up really well!

Probably a repost (can't be arsed to read it all) but I reckon the best great-intro-weak-song award should go to "I don't like Mondays"
