Iron Maiden- The Trooper. I really love the bass line in the intro to this

Re: Favorite song intros'
 

Alice Cooper- Levity Ball
Back in my youth, listening to this with headphones on and influenced by "mind enhancing products:r" was one of my all time fav's.

Turn up your volume before the beginning:

Good choice! I like the intro to "The Wizard", too. Just a simple harmonica to begin, then it builds from there.

Re: Favorite song intros'
 

I love the double drum intro to this; Ministry- Breathe :banger

:banger :tu

Iggy Pop - Repo Man.

Re: Favorite song intros'
 

Judas Priest's "You've Got Another Thing Coming" & "Living After Midnight"

Re: Favorite song intros'
 

Totally agree, but slight correction - Not Velvet Underground.
The one you're thinking of is from Lou Reed "Rock 'N Roll Animal",
live from NYC in 1973, with Dick Wagner playing magnificently on
lead guitar. Wagner is a most underrated guitarist, but as any fan
of early Alice Cooper knows, he has some serious chops.:)

OK, carry on.......

Judas Priest - You Don't Have to be Old to be Wise
Guns'n'Roses - You Could Be Mine

Slow Ride - Foghat
Fire - Jimi Hendrix

Space Truckin' - Deep Purple
Hot For Teacher - Van Helen
Bad Motor Scooter - Montrose
Heavy Metal - Sammy Hagar

Earth, Wind and Fire - "Boogie Wonderland"

Steve Miller Band - "Fly Like an Eagle"

Ok... so I'm eclectic. :ss

Re: Favorite song intros'
 

Truth...

Re: Favorite song intros'
 

Right you are! And I totally agree about Wagner being one of the most underrated guitar players. Saw him with AC back in the 70's. Amazing.



Pretty Woman - Roy Orbison
Pretty Woman - Van Halen

Re: Favorite song intros'
 

Classic. :tu

If you like eclectic EW&F, "Serpentine Fire" is kinda cool, Joe.

Re: Favorite song intros'
 

Wagner- Ride of the Valkyries.

Re: Favorite song intros'
 

Fire Woman - The Cult
Never Been Any Reason - Head East

Re: Favorite song intros'
 

Sweet Jane- Lou Reed live
Green Grass and High Tides- Outlaws- the whole long version is just one long jam, basically.
Smoke on the Water- Deep Purple

Thomas- you and I have similar tastes- I LOVE UFO and very few have heard of this great band!

Re: Favorite song intros'
 

We do, I also picked GG&HT as one of the best in my first go-round, Hugh.

If you have heard the live UFO album, "Strangers in the Night"...I was at that show, it was awesome.

For all those who listed Eagles songs, let me propose as an alternative:


Funk #49 - James Gang

There's a classic intro from Joe Walsh, before he joined the Eagles . . . and forgot how to kick @$$. :D
