Another music thread - best intro

[Marc]

AC/DC - Thunderstruck - damn that guitar solo is AMAZING!

Plenty of others but that one always sticks out!

also the bells in Hells Bells by above band....CLASS

 

[Wilts]

Good calls on Sweet Child O' Mine. One of my favourite tunes (as a guitarist I appreciate a damn good riff)

But the best intro has to be Welcome to the Jungle by Guns and Roses. What a way to open a debut album (Lies doesn't count).

 

[Lush]

Funkin' for Jamaica by Tom Browne

Man those horns can scream.

 

[Eddie the Seagull]

One Vision - Queen

 

[Football Genius aka FG]

bat out of hell

 

[Icy Gull]

Smoke on the Water - Deep Purple

Simple but powerful

 

[REDLAND]

My Last Seranade - Killswitch Engage opens with a beautifull melody that completly disguises the wall of noise that soon hits you straight in the face. Brilliant !!

 

[Reading Posh]

Song from Ian Drury's New Boots & Panties album, starts with the lyrics:

"Arseholes, bastards, f***ing ****s and pricks" Plaistow Patricia?

 

[JJ McClure]

Would have to agree with a couple already posted on here.

Sweet Child o' Mine by GnR
Unforgiven by Metallica

 

[Yorkie]

Smoke on the Water - Deep Purple

Simple but powerful

Mmmmmm

For the older ones

Skakin' all over - Johnny Kidd and the Pirates

 

[Benny Seagull]

nothing can beat the amazing sound of timmy c's bass at the start of 'bullet in your head' by the one and only rage against the machine.

 

[tinx]

Definitely Where the streets have no names.

ALso think Hotel California by the Eagles as well

 

[Icy Gull]

Mmmmmm

For the older ones

Skakin' all over - Johnny Kidd and the Pirates

That is old Yorkie!

The earliest attempt at a music video, that I saw, was a Johnny Kidd song. It showed film of the Grand National with horses failing and falling at the jumps.

The song was "I'll never get over you"

 

[Dandyman]

For me it would have to be "Another Girl Another Planet" by the Only Ones. Can anything beat it?

Totally agree - Bought it 25 (?) years ago and still love it.

I'll get me zimmer frame, now....

 

[Dave the OAP]

Honky Tonk Woman - The Rolling Stones

Brown Sugar - The Rolling Stones

Thriller - Michael Jackson

As soon as the first bars are played you know exactly what is coming

 

[Deano's Right Foot]

Virginia Plain - Roxy Music

 

[Storer68]

Mmmmmm

For the older ones

Skakin' all over - Johnny Kidd and the Pirates

Prefer The Who's version.

It really "quivers down my backbone"

Personally I prefer

Sussex By The Sea

As that introduces the Mighty Brighton and Hove Albion on to the field.

Next season........bring it on, I can't wait

 

[Storer68]

Close to the Edge by Yes.

the intro lasts around 3 1/2 mins

 

[Braders]

linkin park- in the end or eminem - lose yourself (both quality piano intros)

 

[The Large One]

Sorry to be predictable - but Won't Get Fooled Again by The Who.
Pinball Wizard - The Who.

There She Goes - The Las.
California Girls - The Beach Boys opens with some nice brass.
