Some great shouts. The original and the best:

[Terry de Niro]

Not really a rock intro, but the start of I Feel Fine by the Beatles was a brilliant intro with the feedback and opening riff.

[Armand9]

many many great intros out there but the one that stirs me the most is War Pigs/Black Sabbath - that siren swelling up under the power chords puts chills down my spine

not my favourtie Sabbath song but defo my favourite intro

[Terry de Niro]

Heard More Than A Feeling by Boston before on the car radio and forgot how good that intro was.

Die Young is my Fav intro by Black Sabbath but War Pigs is a cracker agreed.

Was the one that sprang straight to mind when I saw the thread title.

[Red_Mist]

When the Levee Breaks - Zep

Also a great shout.

[jambutty]

Was the one that sprang straight to mind when I saw the thread title.

I looped that and listened to it over and over.

Did the same with Brian May's solo in Got to Be Free.

[bradders1011]

Untitled by Interpol. Great album intro too.

Would probably be my walk-on music if I were a dartist.

[Jookie]

I wanna be your dog - The Stooges  is a banging intro.

I think a list of the most iconic rock intros probably should include (plus many more):

Smells Like Teen Spirit
Smoke on the Water
Kashmir
Johnny B Goode
Back in Black
Sweet Home Alabama
Enter Sandman
Paint it Black
7 nation army
Sweet Child O'Mine
All Along the Watchtower

I don't necessarily like all (or actually many) of the songs above but they are all iconic in their own ways.

[Terry de Niro]

Highway Star - Deep Purple
Tom Sawyer - Rush
Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love - Van Halen
Achilles Last stand - Led Zeppelin
Life's Been Good - Joe Walsh

[Nitramdorf]

Doctor Doctor - UFO (Still played at the start of Maiden gigs)

South of Heaven - Slayer (One of the great intros, it builds and builds)

Dead Men Tell No Tales - Motorhead (A short but sweet intro to one of my favourite Motorhead songs)

Its a Long Way to the Top (If you Wanna Rock 'n Roll) - AC/DC

Down Payment Blues - AC/DC

No More No More - Aerosmith

House of Doom - Black Label Society

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath - Black Sabbath

A National Acrobat - Black Sabbath (Best Sabbath song with Ozzy as far as im concerned)

and a few thousand more.

Smells Like Teen Spirit

Sweet Child O'Mine


I don't necessarily like all (or actually many) of the songs above but they are all iconic in their own ways.

Both great intros - For Teen Spirit, Grohl admits he absolutely ripped the drums off from the Gap Band Early In The Morning. As for Sweet Child, Slash absolutely hates that song and the guitar part was him just fucking about. McKagan said on his radio show they didn't want the song on Appetite, so fucked with it and Axl loved it...

Slayer - Seasons in the Abyss

[Timbo's Goals]

Yeah. Some great intros so far but for me nowt will ever eclipse Stay With Me by the Faces.

 

[BarryCrocker]

"I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man" from 'Sign O' The Times' (1987)

Sheila E smashing the cans.

Brilliant into that

[Zlen]

Randomly stumbled upon AC/DC Thunderstruck yesterday. That’s a juicy intro.

[disgraced cake]

I wanna be your dog - The Stooges  is a banging intro.

Search and Destroy. There's a great intro. There's a great song in fact.

[Timbo's Goals]

Brilliant intro that

Certainly is Rob. Linked below for me, you and anyone else who needs reminding just how awesome and unique a rock intro and rock classic these guys managed to serve up way back then

[jambutty]

There's never been anyone better at their craft than Ronnie Wood and Ian McLagan (Dad Alec, British speed skating champ 1928).

Always magic together.

One of the best.

[Alan_X]

There's never been anyone better at their craft than Ronnie Wood and Ian McLagan.

Always magic together.

Ronnie Lane’s bass line is brilliant and Kenny Jones’ drumming… what a band.

[jambutty]

There'll be some trauma's inside your pajamas tonight.

[Timbo's Goals]

There's never been anyone better at their craft than Ronnie Wood and Ian McLagan (Dad Alec, British speed skating champ 1928).

Always magic together.

Always a big regret in never taking the opportunity back then to see them live. I think many of those who did swear they never saw any better than the Faces at their swaggering best.

[ToneLa]

the Modern Lovers: "pablo picasso"
I just adore the way it sort of sleazes in, emerges, right into it. A rare, straight-up fade-in that serves the song in its hot dirty New York glory.

One of the things we have lost with the rise of listening to music just on the Alexa etc is listening to music in stereo. I love listening to this track in the car as you get the full effect, although my laptop does a pretty good job of it too. Ronnie Woods Guitar starting in the left speaker, rest of the band the kicks off on the right speaker and the sound bouncing across, wonderful

Thanks to George, that's played at the start of every home game now
