Guns & Roses - Sweet Child of Mine

And to think Slash did the intro as a laugh something to do with circus music.
is it the greatest guitar intro to a song ever? and maybe even the best solo as well?
oldie but goodie...
bat out of hell?
Metallica-One. Leads into the song brilliantly.
Or maybe Pink Floyd-Shine on you crazy diamond...
Muse have a few excellent guitar riffs for their intros.
Leftfield, phat planet.

[url=
The World Afire - Megadeth[/url]
[url=
Park - Opeth[/url]
Can't believe Smoke on the Water hasn't got a mention or another Blackmore tune "Man on the Silver Mountain" (which sounds suspiciously like the intro to Money for Nothing albeit a lot earlier)
My favourite is yet another one of Mr Blackmore's, Rainbows "Tarot Woman"
Definitely Guns & Roses with Sweet Child Of Mine!!!
Hmmmm, difficult. I think the intro to 'Where The Streets Have No Name' does it for me, that ringing guitar sound that The Edge gets just makes my spine tingle.
[edit] Yep, just played the intro, and that organ, with the guitar coming in, then the drums with the bass just after...went all tingly listening to it. Never fails. [/edit]
Cleary 'Octavarium' by Dream Theater
OK... that's an epic intro JamesH, never heard it before tonight, 4+ minutes of synth OTT 😆
Enter Sandman, Metallica
Guerilla Radio, RATM
Paint it Black, Rolling Stones
Insomnia, Faithless
The Seeker, The Who
She Sell Sanctuary, The Cult
suicidal tendencies- you can't bring me down.

2) Underworld - second best ever, at a push
3) I love the Booomtown Rats from my early years and any intro brings a smile to my face.

The intro to "Give Him a Great Big Kiss" is genius too:
