Tell us your favourite song Intro's Here are a couple of my personal favourites... = =

Great song intro's

costafonix

Crimson & Clover - Tommy James & the Shondells
Guitar Man - Bread
More than a Feeling - Boston
Walking on the Moon - Police
Carry On my Wayward Son - Kansas
Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
Hold the line - Toto
My Sharona - The Knack
Radar Love - Golden Earring
Leyla - Eric Clapton

these are just a few of the songs that hit the spot for me, their intro's take me right back to a place in time.. I'm sure any CCR tune fits in there somewhere too..

I just listened to it again now as I drove home from Melkbosstrand.
Shine On You Crazy Diamond... simply love that intro. ?

Heh, the drummer goes banana's when we jam either of them, but only one of them got me to run out and buy a BC Rich...

I remember reading somewhere that Hetfield called this tune "Elvis Killer" ?

Lol ?

I really think it's one of the few songs where Lars puts in some decent drumming (then again, my knowledge of drumming is limited to what I've heard, and what I can play on Guitar Hero ?)

Wasnt that crazy about the album but Chinese Democracy has a nice intro I think. And I like locomotive breath still. And there's a song by Tito and Tarantula called Bleeding Roses that I like the intro of. And I also like Magic Bus off Live at Leeds. On Iggy Pop New Values there are a few songs with really nice rhythm guitar beginnings.

Malkav

There are tons I can think of but this one jumped into my mind first ? The counterpoint is just awesome ?

Too many to delve into but this morning I enjoyed this particular opening line:
"Born with a moustache in a supernova!"

Wow, so many are spot-on! ?

Camel - Another Night (from Moonmadness) 8)

Squonk

Not a complete fan of his solo work but one of the simplest but awesome intros - Eric Clapton - Wonderful Tonight. Not the studio version. From the Live album "Just one Night" and "24 Nights"

I know it's cheesy but it's amazing what he does with a couple of notes.

DonovanB

Steely Dan - Reelin in the years

I love this John Mayer track,

Wait till tomorrow?

+1 on Welcome to the Jungle. But I reckon "Back in Black" is also up there for AC/DC
