Hot for Teacher - Van Halen

It actually starts with drums but then there's a guitar intro. Does that count?

Exodus · 08-10-2004, 05:58 PM

Welcome Home (Sanatarium) - Metallica
Thunderstruck - AC / DC

Talon Valdez · 08-10-2004, 06:11 PM

"One" - Metallica

My absolute favorite also. That was Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner. Lou Reed got so sick of them stealing the show he got rid of them and to this day he hates questions about that album and their guitar contributions. They also played for Alice Cooper and they played the solos on Train Kept A-Rollin' and some other songs by Aerosmith. Thought it was all Joe Perry? Wrong.

For just good ole straight up kick-ass rock and roll I gotta go with Summer Nights by Van Halen. Turn that one up loud and see what I mean.

kulrblind · 08-11-2004, 09:54 AM

Now the Sparks are Gonna Fly, by Catherine Wheel

and oooooh, the Summer Nights intro is fun! Good times.

supafly · 08-11-2004, 10:34 AM

I like Thunderstruck by AC/DC alot.

I didn't think anyone else would pick that.
I guess my second would be "Careful with That Axe, Eugene" by Pink Floyd although "Ripple" by the Grateful Dead is also very good.

byesman · 08-14-2004, 06:42 PM

I think the intro into "Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd is great. The radio dial being manipulated into the (far away sounding) acoustic guitar into the second acoustic guitar. Great stuff.

By the way, I'm a newbie, this is my first post on this great board.

Konichiwaneko · 08-14-2004, 10:16 PM

Yellow Led Better - Pearl Jam

Redjake · 08-15-2004, 06:43 PM

I think VH1 or someone did a list on this and Sweet Child of Mine by GNR won. I don't know if I concur or not

thriolith · 08-27-2004, 11:00 PM

Oh man... This is like the survey they had in the newspaper... Best guitar riff. Heh.
Paint it Black - Rolling Stones
Not sure if it's my fave, but it's pretty damn good.
Oh yea, and pretty much anything AC/DC.

Manic_Skafe · 08-27-2004, 11:25 PM

"43% Percent Burnt" by The Dillinger Escape Plan and "Incipid Flock" by Anaal Nathrakh.

Tophat665 · 08-28-2004, 05:33 AM

Lots of good ones here. Right on on Zeppelin, Hendrix, and the Beatles.

Pretty much all of Maiden's opening riffs are classic: Powerslave, Phantom of the Opera, Back in the Villiage, Revelations, Run to the Hills, Number of the Beast, Flash of the Blade, they're all golden.

Buck Dharma's lead ins to BÖC's tunes are fantastic: The Reaper was Mentioned, but Godzilla, ETI, pretty much everything on Secret Treaties, Dancin' in the Ruins, Secret Water. I get all shivery just thinking about them.

However, there are a couple that I bet no one else would mention if I didn't, but which are truly astounding:
Frank Zappa - Po'Jama People. In which Zappa Proves that, if he hasn't got the soul of an old time blues god, he is pleanty good enough to fake it.
Walter Becker in Steely Dan - Don't Take Me Alive. Showing that Jazz Guitar can still rock the house.
Robert Fripp in King Crimson - Great Deciever. He may be a prissy, perfectionist old fart now, but man alive could that boy rip it up in his youth (and he's still pretty hot in his dotage.)

SAM821 · 08-28-2004, 09:53 AM

I always loved the intro to Hotel California (Live) by the Eagles...

K-Wise · 08-28-2004, 07:24 PM

Shine On You Crazy Diamond of course (props to Derwood)
Also Sorrow by Pink Floyd as well

Eagles - Hotel California (live)

Justin Hayward - Blue Guitar

But THE most crazy intro I've heard yet has to be the way Steve Howe starts off Close To The Edge by Yes. I dunno what the hell he's playing but it's all over the place and yet it's not really all over the place it's hard to explain it.

Asta!!

K-Wise · 08-28-2004, 07:51 PM

I forgot Eric Clapton - Layla, Wonderful Tonight

Asta!!

Procession
Now I'm Here
Nothing But Blue
Gimme The Prize

vermin · 09-03-2004, 11:03 PM

So many great ones listed here, I wish all my cd's weren't in storage.

Heart of the Sunrise - Yes: the louder, the better!

(Anyone know if the intro to Magic Man was played by one of the Wilson sisters or by Howard Leese?)
