Thomas_Merton Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Just heard "Brown Sugar" by the Rolling Stones on the radio. Keith Richards' guitar riffs at the start have got to one of the best intros ever to a rock number. Any other choices? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnh101 Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Most folk won't know them but: Babylon's Burning by The Ruts Alternative Ulster by Stiff Little Fingers I am sure those who remember will say not in the class of the Rolling Stones, but still classics IMHO.

Thomas_Merton Posted June 22, 2005 Author Share Posted June 22, 2005 Santana - Evil Woman <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You've got me stumped here. I know of Santana - Evil Ways and Santana - Black Magic Woman, but I've never heard og Evil Woman. If you mean Black Magic Woman, then you've got a real contender.

pluto_manibo Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 The best intro would have to be Little Wing by Jimi Hendrix..... Some of the best riffs are The ocean, black dog and whole lotta love by Zep... The Stones and Keith RIFFHARD has too numerous to mention, but Honky Tonk Woman is a pretty amazing number with a memorable intro. Actually lifted that from Ry Cooder, He asked Ry to play in the studio and he went out for a cigarette or maybe a fix but left the tape machines on to record....6 months later it was on their album. Ry Cooder taught Richards how to use the Open G tuning which has become a staple of Richards sound and is used in 80% of Stones songs from the seventies until now... Other good intros: 1. Purple Haze 2. Smoke on the water 3. Life in the fast lane 4. Hells Bells 5. Paradise City 6. Nothing else matters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meom Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Besides the ones already mentioned "Bat out of ######" by Meatloaf has a pretty good intro. Recently saw the movie about how they made the first album. Unbelievable that somebody so big/fat can have so much energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daleyboy Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Also dont forget cocaine by mr Clapton and i also agree on some of the other post about paint it black, what a truly greast tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rags Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 For a distinctive rock intro, Layla by Derek & the Dominoes was the first that came to mind, closely followed by Sweet Child of Mine by Guns & Roses. However, both of these have already been mentioned, so now thinking of an original response Rags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soi lurker Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 (edited) Phill Collins did an awsome introduction on the drums, to a song which i cant remember i dont have his album, but it took the normal version and made it some 2-3 minuites longer, any one help?

tutsiwarrior Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 the memorable hammond organ intro by The Band's organist for the song that I can't recall the name of. If you guys think a bit you will know which one I mean. Also the infectious intro for Gimme Some Lovin' by Spencer Davis Group...also featuring hammond organ played by Steve Winwood.
