Favourite song intro?

A bit of Ralphe Armstrong…

fear of the Dark, especially the live in Rio version always gets the hairs on the back of the neck up.

Actually Maiden are generally awesome at intros;

Really, no one?

Probably my favourite intro of all time:

SHAFT!

Just remembered this one too.

surely it must be Layla by Derek and the Dominoes?
or
Motherless chidren by eric clapton
or
all along the watchtower by jimi hendrix

Little bit of John…

Adam Holmes

“Ladies & Gentlemen, How Do?” brill

I quite like the outro to Smash It Up too… “nibbled to death by an okapi”

Just listened to Fleetwood Mac’s The Chain.
It’s basically two and a half minutes of intro to that bassline. 8)

Good grief. Three pages and we still haven’t had this:

Good grief. Three pages and we still haven’t had this:

It’s not really an intro, the song just starts, as good as it is.

Minor rant: why do people bother embedding videos of songs? If I’m going to listen to a song I’ll continue to browse, hence navigating away from the page anyway.
I could open another STW tab but if I’m doing that I may as well open a tab from a link rather than the embedded video.

Reason for rant: I’ve got quite a bit I could contribute to music threads, but don’t tend to as my 10+ yr old PC can’t cope with all the embedded videos.

Flashdance?

First one that came to mind

I think my drums could probably play this by themselves too 😆

Korn – Blind
Metallica – One

A few Metallica candidates above. Here’s mine:

For Whom the Bell Tolls

The intro is the bit at the beginning…

Overplayed sometimes but still great live.

I like this faster version too.

I think this was mentioned but not posted.

Stevie Wonder and Sesame Street, what’s not to like?

Gotta love the Damned I’ve got tickets to the Captains Birthday Party at the “Town & Country” (Forum) in two weeks.

Can’t believe we’ve got to page three and no-one has posted these:

razorrazoo, gotta love the phantom. Makes me want Lucozade and short shorts every time I hear it.

Good grief. Three pages and we still haven’t had this:

yes we have. hairyscary posted it without embedding the video on page 1

Add this to fav intro’s – I always imagine the shouts and cries at the beginning to represent a populace uprising against the tyranny of the present regime government.

Just me then 😀

The Smiths – ‘Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me’.

Maiden? Got to be this

😀

Or moving forward

Best Intro?

Shurley Money for Nothing by Dire Straits

Backed by dope demand: king bee
know how: young mc

thanks

Or Breaking into Heaven by Roses

Yet another classic intro:

Macinblack – is this you?

Don’t know if that’s him, but I bet he knows who the Einherriar are…
