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)

PRIMUS section
Tommy the Cat https://youtube.com/watch?v=Yn3uiLZY9Jg
My Name is Mud https://youtube.com/watch?v=tQaxYbPf-Hc
Jerry was a race car driver https://youtube.com/watch?v=SYcNcbJkVc8

shit, I like all their intros I'm going to list them all.... I'm done.

That's a great selection Redshoe.

There are just so many out there.

I dont know how i forgot that song

Redshoe you are quite the musical connoisseur ;) Probably 10 or so listed there that I love and neglected to mention.. great calls on Phil Collins, Kashmir, Under Pressure, and even Jump Around :thumbsup

shine on you crazy diamond...pink floyd

any iron maiden song :)

Round About - Yes
Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
You Really Got Me - Van Halen

The Matrix Revolutions !

You forgot to say 50 song intros.. god i hate noobs..

BTW, 2 corrections:

Iron Man is Black Sabbath, not Ozzy..Small detail? Nope.
Bitter Sweet Symphony: Actually, the intro is a Rolling Stones sampling..They didn't come up with those violins...just borrowed it..

This being said, those are great choices!!

I mean to say that :winkwink:

Do you feel like we do? -- fr Frampton Comes alive!

It has the best opening lyric too:

Woke up this morning
with a wine glass in my hand
who's wine? What wine?
where the hell did I die


:D

Not only that, but because of one of the Stones' lawyers, the Verve didn't make anything off what turned out to be their #1 song :winkwink:

Seriously? That blowsss, that song is great

i am a huge elton john fan and this is my favorite song of his! definitely an amazing intro. :)

I find my name in the strangest threads.

The funny thing is. I hate songs. Ask anyone that knows me. The irony is, I love intros. I could listen to any song for like 30 seconds then I'm done. Get bored with it too fast I guess, or annoyed by it. Believe it or not, I sit here in total silence all day until my business partner comes into town then it's like non stop ear rape with his music. I find it more distracting than anything. but thats just me.

I dislike music, and some of it I downright hate. You'll notice I didn't list any U2 shit on there. I can't stand those queers.

The Best all time Intro without a doubt is Hells Bells ACDC!

HELLLSSS BELLLSSS my temperatures risinnn

Jimi Hendrix's intro to his acoustic version of 'Little Wing'. Very understated and very tasteful . . . .

Agreed, i alsolike hendrix going all along the watch tower.. i believe that had a good intro if i remember off hand

Cliffs of Dover - Eric Johnson

https://youtube.com/watch?v=tQ0iww5u6_I

I think we can all agree

I do love the 13 bells in hells bells intro. But have to agree with Crazy Train leading the way. But mainly my fingers get whooped from the solo.

saturday night - herman brood

2112 Rush

HOLY SHIT....... You are a canuk :thumbsup I was jumping at the bit for that one......

Yeah, Layla kills it,

If I would have to choose one song to be like the top song of the rock history, this is one of the few I would be seriously considering.. Especially if you know the story behind it.

The whole album "Layla and the other love songs" is monumental - "Bell bottom blues" beeing my other favourite.

He's great and has a killing sound, haven't got to know him till I saw the first G3 with Vai and Satriani..

Does he do the flying pig as featured in the Simpsons?

Killer instrumental.. just first heard this a few months ago, glad you posted it here!

RedShoe, I'm the same way.. never make it more than 1 minute into a song before hitting next. Although I do enjoy 'Where the streets have no name' by Bono & Co every once in a while ;)

It's funny that hardly any music made in the last 5 years is on that list, and almost all but a few are out of the rock genre.

rock is the soundtrack to our life......... it is what it is.......

Sevendust - Enemy:

Metallica - Unforgiven
Nirvana - The man who sold the world

Purple Rain
