Favorite Intros

[Peeps]

stone roses - I wanna be adored
the baseline through the whole song is amazing but as the fading in intro...leading to the drums....




Pearl Jam - Jeremy
the singular bass opening the song sets an ominous tone of what is to come

these are the two that pop to mind but I will add others...

[LoathedVermin72]

[BurtReynolds]

Cherub Rock - Smashing Pumpkins
Set Guitars to Kill - And So I Watch You From Afar
37 Million Horsepower - Dynatron
To Hell And Back - Sabaton
The Hero - Queen

Intro is possibly my favorite couple of minutes in rock music. I love the guitar tone, I love the bass cueing the shift into the second intro, I love Steve Shelley's sticks, I love how this song effortlessly traces a line from dream pop to hardcore.

Here in your bedroom - Goldfinger

Peeps, that apostrophe in the thread title is a real problem.

i never heard that one...do you have a link?

[Peeps]

Deep Purple Perfect Strangers - the heavy organ of jon lord to start things off giving way to Ian Paice on drums and Richie Blackmore playing that sweet guitar

[Captain Termite]

Cherub Rock - Smashing Pumpkins

I'd go with Hummer.

[Captain Termite]

Jane - Jefferson Starship

[Simple Torture]

The radio edit of this song cut out the best part IMO

[Higgs]

That Stone Roses one is excellent.

This is pretty cool yet very different.

[Peeps]

The Cure - Pictures of You - so haunting. the guitar and drums really play off each other at first an then the guitar kind of takes over. then throw in the keyboard?

[wease]

Bonham’s groove starting off When The Levee Breaks. Nothing better

[Matters]

As far as classics go:

Gimmie Shelter
Sweet Emotion
Money for Nothing
Welcome to the Jungle

[liebzz]

Paint It Black has a killer intro that makes you practically hold your breath for the kick in.

[LoathedVermin72]

I am constantly playing this (long!) intro in my head

[Higgs]

At the risk of sounding cheesy, I've always been a fan of the intro to EV's Invincible too.

I also think that is a great intro. For an artist that spent his career being pegged as too serious and brooding, for him to open the album with something so irreverent set the tone for a looser and more open and fun album in a lot of places.

Iron Maiden - Run to the Hills - not sure if there is a better drum intro with only Dr Feelgood in the same stratosphere
