What's your favourite song intro....

[james_gt3rs]

Megadeth - Holy Wars
Slayer - Jesus Saves
Metallica - Seek and Destroy
Judas Priest - Nightcrawler
Megadeth - Set the world afire

[derestrictor]

I don't like Queensryche but their 1981 EP featuring Queen of The Reich is not just a blast from the past but an ME262 flying straight into Winky's bottom.

Elsewhere, Gary Moore, now lost to the hopeless tedium of perpetual, bare bones blues bandola snoring, did an album called G-Force in 1979 with a track White Knuckles/Rockin' & Rollin' which again, set a standard for halcyon, moshular intros beyond the comprehension of your avaerage, thronging grunter.

Both were spun throughout TV's glory stint during NWOBHM on The Friday Rock Show back when and with yer 'Sens' set to 11, it was always an event.

[Dr Prod]

Meatloaf - Bat out of Hell
Eagles - Hotel California
Blackfoot - Highway Song

[Invisible man]

Possibly the best Guitarist I've seen live

Nah, he's good live........ but not in the same league as Mr Gilmour who is simply empyreal.
Which reminds me, another vote for Shine On......

[dougc]

Massive Attack - Teardrop. That first piano chord sends shivers through me every time I hear it.

[Mk3Escy]

She's a Wind Up - Dr Feelgood
My Favourite Game - The Cardigans
Hurry Up Harry - Sham 69
Time Is Running Out - Muse
I Heard It Through The Grapevine - Marvin Gaye
The Universal - Blur

[HUW JONES]

...thought we were only allowed one!


er...off top of head:

"Wouldn't it be nice" Beach Boys
"Gimme shelter"...in fact lots of Stones
"Regret" New Order

where to stop?

[jet_noise]

Dear All,

The best no contest:
Bonzo Dog Doo-dah Band: The Intro and the Outro. Like to introduce Legs Larry Smith, drums etc

Coming up on the rails:
Lulu: Shout. We-e-e-e-e-e-elll.
T.Rex.: Metal Guru. Whoa-ho-ho yeah, yeah.
Motorhead: Ace of Spades. The band take it in turns to fall down the stairs...



...with everything louder than everything else...



...turned up to 11, well that's what it sounds like to me



AC/DC: Whole Lotta Rosie
Janet Jackson: What Have You Done for Me Lately - LP version
Robin Trower: Bridge of Sighs. I remember a quiz with just the intro played, easy!

Another one that's all intro:
Disco Dick: Disco Dick

There ought to be some trance in there, how about:
Disco Citizens: Footprints. Then there's 13minutes of trance excellence, awesome.

How could I forget:
James Brown: Sex Machine.
Fellas, I'm ready to get up and do my thing (yeah go ahead!)
I wanta get into it, man, you know (go ahead!)
Like a, like a sex machine, man, (yeah go ahead!)
Movin' and doin' it, you know
Can I count it off? (Go ahead)

One, two, three, four!


+1 for U2: Streets Have No Name
I also love the Feelgood's Windup. The world's most pointless 12" single at just over 2m long! It is LOUD though

there may be more, got to cook my dinner now,
regards,
Jet

ET/FA James Brown, Ace of Spades, Feelgood 12".

Short and sweet! He's no Wilko, but that's a cool bit of guitar!

[kiteless]

As someone else alluded to:

I've always liked Eric Johnson's Cliffs of Dover as well:

Joe Walsh...At The Station

[mdotd]

"Speed me towards death" by Rob Dougan; you may recognise it from the Audi RS4 challenge on Top Gear where Jezza races the speed climbers up the mountain. The instrumental with the violins gives a sense of granduer, but as soon as the vocals kick in I can't help but feel it turns into a James Bond-style theme tune

Edited by mdotd on Tuesday 26th May 12:58

[redbarron84]

Iron Maiden - Aces High

Starts off with 'Churchill's Speech' before breaking into that awsome riff

"We shall go on to the end.
We shall fight in France,
We shall fight on the seas and oceans,
We shall fight with GROWING confidence and GROWING strength in the aiiiiir!
We shall defend our island whatever the cost may be.
We shall fight on beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds,
We shall fight in the fields and in the streets.
We shall fight in the hills,
We shall never surrender."

[odyssey2200]

Eagles - Hotel California (Live)

[ratbane]

Anyone said Baba O'Reilly , The Who?

[Sir Snaz]

AC/DC - Riff Raff (if you want blood version) .......gives me that same tingly feeling you get at a really great gig

Yes. Rob Dougan's stuff is great with some top intros. Shame he hasn't done a second album
