Favorite song intros'
 

Was cutting the grass with the headphones on and Fortunate Son by CCR came on. Love that guitar intro! Got me to thinking about some other favorites...

Allman Brothers Berry Oakley's bass intro on Whipping Post
Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground - intro to the Live version of Sweet Jane
ACDC - Back in Black maybe the best
Derrick & the Dominos - Duane Allman's slide guitar on Layla

many more.....

You're both baked. It's If You Want Blood (you've got it) followed closely by Highway to Hell. :banger

If you guys were old farts like me, there would only be one choice, Hotel California.

Green Grass & High Tides - The Outlaws
Can't You Hear Me Knockin' - Rolling Stones
Brown Sugar - Rolling Stones
Unchained - Van Halen
Panama - Van Halen
Down Payment Blues - AC/DC

If I sat here 5 more minutes I could think of 100 more. I'll add some as they come to mind.

Favorite? Too many good ones to name, but one all but the oldest (and craziest) of us old farts would forget is:

Fire - Arthur Brown.

Now THAT was the way to kick off a tune!

Re: Favorite song intros'
 

Eagles - Hell Freezes Over - Hotel California.

Re: Favorite song intros'
 

I AM an old fart like you! Just a clarification, Carlos.....

Original version, or unplugged acoustical version? I can go with either!

Re: Favorite song intros'
 

No doubt.
Specially the Hell Freezes Over DVD intro. Simply amazing.

Newer Music for the most part, compared to what's already been said. And a lot heavier too, which doesn't discredit already listed music.
