Best rock intro ever...

[DJ Raida]

Sorry guys but IMO that song blows dog, awesome intro, you even think its gonna sound kick ass then all of a sudden........... same old boring new chilli peppers, that song made me cry because of all the potential it had but never delivered, the chillis are a retired unit and they sound like a bunch of old croners in modern times, no more hard edge!

WHAT- rhcp are in thier prime atm- they are making perfect music- btw was thier best album ever by far. Californication wasnt far behind

Ok I have found the intro I was talking about.

Crank your speakers and click on this link:

After listening to it you must agree that that is the most kick ass intro you have ever heard.

 

[Ron Jeremy]

Easily Poison by Alice Cooper, his opening riff and main riffs throughout the song are just sensational.

I also Reckon Dreams by Van Halen would have to be held in high regard aswell Message in a Bottle by the Police.

yeah song isnt the greatest but we are only talking about the intro, and its a great intro.

I love the chili peppers btw

The bass intro is awesome. Just about the best live intro I have heard, especially being about 8 metres away from the flea!

 

[madunit]

One, Fade To Black and Enter Sandman by Metallica have some really strong intro's

 

[ledzep]

welcome to the jungle has my vote
also whole lotta love, especially the live version

 

[choc_soldier]

Everlong - Foo Fighters

 

[strewth_mate]

Not the greatest but Dire Straits' "Money for Nothing" with the drums and guitar slowly waking up, then just at its peak dropping back to just the guitar riff, the rest of the band following after a few bars. I like.

 

[LESStar58]

The intro to "Dirty Man" by The Living End is wicked! Its liked a giant sized stadium rock anthem!

 

[CliffyIsGod]

Planet Claire -- B52's
Mongoloid -- Devo

I like Bass intros.

[bartman]

When I read the thread title, the rock riff that popped stright into my head was...

Queen - One Vision

Not saying it's the best ever, but it just popped into my head and I think it's worth a spot somewhere?

 

[Munky]

With all the GNR I'm surprised nobodies mentioned Rocket Queen, which IMO is probably the best intro of the non hit songs.

 

[legend]

Bros - when will i be famous.

Not the greatest but Dire Straits' "Money for Nothing" with the drums and guitar slowly waking up, then just at its peak dropping back to just the guitar riff, the rest of the band following after a few bars. I like.

"Telegraph Road" is better.

I'm disappointed that there isn't any Pink Floyd here. I'd throw "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" and "Echoes" into the equation as well.

As a bit of an obscure one, for the oldies here who have seen the movie 'Eddie and the Cruisers', the into for "Season In Hell" is pretty good too. I think the bulk of the music was by John McCafferty and the Beaver Brown Band.

"The Rose" Bette Milder..inspiring stuff.
