- slackjaw - 08-13-2002 Ok, we have all seen those horrible magazine "greatest ever" lists..... where somehow Blind melon winds up ahead of jimi Hendrix or some such nonsense, so I have been thinking.... how about we start our own "lists". The one that is on my mind right now is the intros. Some songs are great with very little intro, others use the intro to set the tone, and still others have become better known for their memorable intro than the actual song. I was gonna start this with an actual numbered list, which would certainly be lacking, since I can't think of them all. I have instead decided to just list some of the great ones that are jumping to the forefront right now, and have you guys help out. When we get a nice solid list, we'll work on putting them in order... who knows, maybe we'll ship this off to maxim or FHM and see if we can't get their heads out of their asses! A few to start: GnR- Welcom to the Jungle, perhaps the greatest blood boiling intro of all time, guaranteed to add 50 HP to any car Ozzy Osbourne- Crazy Train.... nuff said Van Halen - Hot for Teacher, nothing starts things off better than a wicked drum solo Metallica - One, a slower intro, but as intense as they come... the calm before the storm Chuck Berry - Johnny B. Goode, old school rock and roll at it's best The Doors - The End.... ok, it may not be a pure "intro", but well.... it makes me wanna hurt someone Deep Purple - Smoke on the Water, a great example of an intro that overshadows the rest of the song Ok, I don't wanna hog the list, so hit me gang.... there are a ton of great others out there! - Hybrid - 08-13-2002 Quote:Ozzy Osbourne- Crazy TrainDEFINITELY another great one is understanding in a car crash by thursday. i dont care if you hate them, but the intro is fucking awesome. - The Sleeper - 08-13-2002 Quote:another great one is understanding in a car crash by thursday.I was just gonna say that one. Anyone who likes music has to love that intro. I might think of some more later. - HedCold - 08-13-2002 i'm partial to the opening to just got wicked by cold. its cool to hear at concerts. even though tool songs start off slow, intros like in eulogy are cool to hear live - Galt - 08-13-2002 This list begins and ends with "Wild Side" by Motley Crue - The Sleeper - 08-13-2002 Ok, I compiled a quick list for now: Alkaline Trio - Radio; Private Eye At the Drive-in - Cosmonaut Iron Maiden - Wasted Years Dead Kennedys - Holiday in Cambodia From Autumn to Ashes - Short Stories with Tragic Endings Fugazi - Waiting Room Jimi Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower Minor Threat - In my Eyes Radiohead - Electioneering System of a Down - Chop Suey Thursday - Understanding in a Car Crash; Streaks in the sky Van Halen - Jump The Who - Teenage Wasteland - diceisgod - 08-13-2002 Metallica has this market cornered. Mater of puppets, Seek and Destroy, Am I evil?, etc.. - slackjaw - 08-13-2002 Quote:The Who - Teenage Wasteland No such song, but that baba O'reilly DID have a bad ass intro. DIG, I wouldn't say metallica has it cornered, GnR has a ton of awesome intros too - The Sleeper - 08-13-2002 who do I look like Froy? I usually listen to musicians under 60. - Hybrid - 08-13-2002 no way sleeper, from autumn to ashes-reflections is way better - The Sleeper - 08-13-2002 just listened to it, it's nothing special. Good song but the intro to Short Stories is epic sounding. - Hybrid - 08-13-2002 I.........FELT..........YOU.......SLIP AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY............FAR AWAY FROM MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE - GonzoStyle - 08-13-2002 Eric Clapton - Layla Hendrix - Voodoo Chile Led Zeppelin - Immigrant Song GNR - Welcome to the jungle Iron Butterfly - Inna Gadda David Steppenwolf - Born to be wild SOAD - Toxicity - AdolescentMasturbator - 08-13-2002 Black Sabbath-War Pigs how could you forget it. - criticslovesnatch - 08-13-2002 FATA - Short Stories with Tragic Endings opening rules...it's over a minute long and builds amazingly definately ozzy's crazy train Finch - What it is to burn has a great opening too. - Sloatsburgh - 08-13-2002 Fucking A Sleeper. I came in here just to say "Wasted Years" Better than War Pigs: Children of the Grave. Even the White Zombie version. Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here. (Actually the whole album is a set up for that song.... and I am including Have a Cigar and Machine). - Spitfire - 08-13-2002 Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath CCR - Fortunate Son Jimi Hendrix - Purple Haze and Red House Halfway to Gone - Stormy Day Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here Solace - Followed Kyuss - Demon Cleaner SRV - Texas Flood Dixie Witch - Thunderfoot Days of the New - Die Born & The Weapon and the Wound Ozzy - Crazy Train - Randy RIPS! Queens of the Stone Age - Better Living Through Chemistry/No one Knows **best ever - Electric Wizard - Funeralopolis Edited By Spitfire on Aug. 13 2002 at 10:00 - Sloatsburgh - 08-13-2002 Let me add Stranglehold - Nuggent Changes - Yes Da Da Da - Trio - fbd - 08-13-2002 van halen-You really got me(sure, its a different song, but erruption is played as an intro frequently) metallica-fight fire with fire, battery, dont tread on me the who-magic bus, pinball wizard stones-cant always get what you want Edited By fbdlingfrg on Aug. 13 2002 at 7:54 - Is Don on the phone? - 08-14-2002 Nirvana- "Smells Like Teen Spirit" Short, simple, and powerfull GnR- "My Michelle" Sets the mood for the whole song.... In fact, almost every song on Appetite has a good intro. Weezer- Hash Pipe (does just a hook count?) Fat Boy Slim - "The Rockafella Skank" Van Halen - "Everybody Wants Some" (The Mets used to take the field to the intro-so much cooler than the current "Meet the Mets") |
