The best "Outro" ever was the piano at the end of "Layla" by Derek and the Dominoes (Eric Clapton)...

As for intros, there are many good ones, although I have always liked Elton John's somber opening to "Love Lies Bleeding" aptly titled "Funeral for a Friend" off of Yellow Brick Road.

ADG

queen - fat bottomed girls

Tool - Ticks & Leeches. best song intro ever. Suck it!!!

can never argue with any tool song being on any list but do you and intro goes Ticks & Leeches is great but I would you really put above the intro of stinkfist?

Pero, los quieremos. Creado e liegado de Los Angeles: JUANA'S ADICCION

:)

"Bad Motor Scooter" by Montrose starts with a cool guitar-synth motorcycle running through the gears...

ADG

Actually the lead-in and slide guitar work Clapton later became famous for was laid down by Duane Allman.

(Rolling Stone magazine's second best guitar of all time)

The Who - Baba O'Riley
Prism - Armageddon

The live version of Sweet Jane on Lou Reeds rock n roll animal album.

Some good ones in here! :thumbsup

Here are a couple:

For longest coolest intro before the words kick in, its gotta be 'i need a lover' by johnny cougar melonhead.

for historic significance, and cool, "i feel fine" by the Beatles - first song to ever use guitar feedback, plus the song starts as just feedback for the first few seconds.

Totally forgot

Great choice! :thumbsup

Great intro :thumbsup

great thread :) I'm making a mixed cd now with some of these songs :)

hahah i set up a play list already :thumbsup

100% agree with Sweet Child O Mine, great intro. Is 'Money' from the album that supposedly syncs up with The Wizard of Oz? For some reason I seem to remember that from some high school class.

Also:

Aerosmith - Sweet Emotion

Yes it is:
https://youtube.com/watch?v=KmCfvcfHwKA
http://www.everwonder.com/david/wizardofoz/

Dark Side of the moon syncs up with wizard of oz

Vincent Price's spoken intro the Iron Maiden's "Number of the Beast."

https://youtube.com/watch?v=icAzyx8EsKU

All my top choices were already posted, but I'll throw in ACDC - TNT :)

the best song intro would have to be..

Rick Ross - Hustlin'


hustlin', hustlin', hustlin', hustlin', hustlin', hustlin', hustlin', hustlin', hustlin', hustlin', hustlin', hustlin',
Everyday Im Hustlin

Exactly what I was going to post. :thumbsup

"You Could Be Mine" and "Locomotive" by Guns N' Roses are pretty badass too.

i forgot a link to the best song intro

https://youtube.com/watch?v=BVLWKVTCf3A

With the exception of ONE and SING SING SING, most of my intros are for like the first 10 seconds.


One ~ Metallica https://youtube.com/watch?v=JwW9L_qzqp8

Renegade ~ Styx https://youtube.com/watch?v=Ef1pJH-NXUQ

Paint it Black ~ Rolling Stones (maybe one of the most recognized and used 10 seconds in music history) https://youtube.com/watch?v=4aNuyNk8nro
Same goes for :
Sunshine of your love ~ Cream (I prefer the cream version over the Hendrix version (although, I love Hendrix))

Sing Sing Sing ~ Louis Prima

Little Green Bag ~ George Baker https://youtube.com/watch?v=0L1hD5OlPtw (reminds me of Baddog every time I hear it... I dunno why)

The End ~ the Doors FUCKING BAD ASS when used in Apocolypse now. https://youtube.com/watch?v=MI24H...eature=related

Under Pressure ~ David Bowie (YES!! FUCK OFF!!!) https://youtube.com/watch?v=aNGQor3dED8

Soul Craft ~ Bad Brains (anytime you get to hear Rastafarians playing metal is pretty bad ass) https://youtube.com/watch?v=UN6uVosQrY4

Don't fear the reaper ~ Blue Oyster Cult, for obvious comedic reasons... MORE COWBELL!!!

Jump Around ~ House of Pain (FUCK OFF... You know you liked it when it came out)

Where is my mind ~ The Pixies

Kashmir ~ Zepplin When it first came out and you were with a girl when that song came on, that pretty much guaranteed you sex.

Manteca ~ Dizzy Gilespe.. I know you've all heard this, https://youtube.com/watch?v=VxDG2PwSlIU but the Funky Lowlives remix is pretty bad ass as well https://youtube.com/watch?v=R51MS4LkWaQ

Jesus Built my Hot Rod ~ Ministry (see sig for quote)
https://youtube.com/watch?v=28S0csmLbNM This video is more accurate to the recording. The actual music video put out by ministry has the whole beginning chopped for time.

Hella Good ~ No Doubt - Dang, I dig her voice. https://youtube.com/watch?v=fmDBvJczTLw

No More Tears ~ Ozzy People listed some Ozzy, and I dig that opening as well. Same goes for:
War Pigs ~ Ozzy

In the Air Tonight ~ Phil Collins. Can't listen to it and not get a clear cut visual of Crockett and Tubbs. (don't lie, you know it's true)

Another one bites the dust ~ Queen https://youtube.com/watch?v=hMenB9Ywh2Q

2112 ~ Rush https://youtube.com/watch?v=jPMT-2p8NBU Neil Pert is the king. (proof he's the king https://youtube.com/watch?v=RMlKFEoSddU)
