Best song intro

[Dumseagull]

At over a minute long my fav intro is, Guns and roses, You could be mine.... and my first NSC post!

 

[life on mars 73]

Gotta be Pinball Wizard. Fantastic chord progression, growing feeling of of excitement anticipation, then the frenzied strumming after about 20 seconds, followed the legendary BOOM.

Extraordinary....

PRETTY VACANT without a doubt

I'd go along with that.

 

[Hungry Joe]

Haha, I was deliberately trying not to be too obtuse, but if we are going to go down that route...

A little obtuse but two of my personal favourites are Jacket Hangs by The Blue Aeroplanes and Waiting for a Miracle by Comsat Angels (album version).

Jacket Hangs by The Blue Aeroplanes...

Ah, good call. Remember them starting a gig with this once. They all walked out, then stood stationary on the very edge of the stage, backs towards the audience. The riff started, Gerard leaned into the mike, held out a pack of cards, and then on "wrong" threw them all up over the audience. At the same time, the usual 47 guitarists/Polish dancers etc leapt into the air. Wicked.
