I have 2:

 

Def Leppard- Hysteria tour. Dirty Harry's "Did he fire six shots or only 5....." and then blasting into "Stagefright".

 

KISS- Reunion tour '96- Madison Square Garden- "All right New York...You wanted the best and you got the best....the hottest band in the world.....KIIIIISSSSSSS" and then blasting into "Deuce".

 

What is yours?

I saw an Overkill gig once where they used a sample from "Scarface" (at least I think it was "Scarface") as their intro before they took the stage... "YOU THINK YOU BIG TIME? YOU GONNA F**KING DIE BIG TIME! YOU READY? HERE COME DE PAIN!" before launching into the song "Where It Hurts" and the whole damn place just went nuts! Awesome!!

 

Anybody who's ever seen a Ramones show knows that their "The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly" intro tape before they took the stage would always whip the crowd into a frenzy, no matter what song they opened the set with...

Judas Priest forget which tour I've seen them that many times....

 

Starts off with a strobe flashing intermittently for about 1 minute (crowds going nuts) then the riff to Solar Angels starts and the guitarists appear on two platforms that rose about 15 feet into the air...AND THEN ROB SCREAMS hahaha! Always sticks in my mind that.

When I saw Queensryche on their Empire tour they opened up with Resistance, man Geoff Tate came out screaming what a great show that was with the huge screen behind them and the whole Operation Mindcrime thing going on. Till this day it's the only concert I've been to where my ears where ringing the next day.

Funny that this one pops up again... since this was posted I have since learned that the Al Pacino bit mentioned above actually comes from the film "Carlito's Way," not "Scarface."

 

As long as I'm back in here, I may as well mention that seeing Iron Maiden's set this summer begin with a darkened stage, WWII films showing on a huge screen, and Winston Churchill's speech booming out before the lights blew up and the band launched into "Aces High" was exceedingly awesome.

 

As you were.

Ozzy did an excellent intro when I saw him at Brixton Acadamy. A large projection screen came down with a digitaly added Ozzy appearing in various film and music video clips.

 

Very very funny.

 

Was one of the clips for an Alanis Morisette video, if it`s the one I saw on the Frank Skinner show it was hilarious :tumbsup:

a couple i can think of, Metallica's Ecstacy Of Gold intro music (which last year they had clips of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly playing, i think....where an outlaw is running around a graveyard or something) an LA Guns (the Lewis version) with Letting Go, it played through the PA and then afterwards they jumped straight into Slap In The Face like on the album, the transition was seamless!

Easy stand out moment for me.............

 

Love/Hate on the 'Black Out' tour @ The Marquee club in London ('91 ??)

 

The music from 'Tranquiliser' (later turned into the song 'Tranquiliser' on 'Wasted In America') with flashing strobes straight into 'Black Out In The Red Room'.................

 

We almost died!

Well last night Faster Pussycat opened with 'California Love' by Tupac over the speakers. I thought it'd last for 10 seconds and then they'd belt into metal... but they didn't. I think the whole song played before they dropped into something listenable.

      To tell you the truth, we couldn't agree on a title so I suggested III. It's been three years between every album and this is our third. ; )

      Stormburst - III

      By Stefan · Posted

      New album 'III' out May 19 through Pride & Joy Music. Press release: STORMBURST was formed in July 2014 with the intention to make high quality Melodic Hardrock music without any compromises, whatsoever. No more covers so to speak, just all original song material. Bass player Kent Jansson (Six Feet Under, Keen Hue, Steam) and guitarist Thomas Hansson (Steam, Coastline) started out with singer Lars-Åke ”Plåtis” Nilsson (Keen Hue) and to achieve the special sound they were looking for. Keyboardist Peter Östling (Six Feet Under) was sent a demo and pretty much joined immediately.   In late 2019 original drummer Peter Ytterberg quit for personal reasons and was soon replaced by Mr. Pelle Hindén of Eternal (Of Sweden). Stormburst as a band and unit is all about uncompromisingly doing what you believe in, even if you have a headwind. When the wind blows hard in life sometimes (as it really does), the love of music is still in all conditions strong and sustainable. Stormburst has the ability to reflect this with their own music and lyrics and their style can best be described as a combination of traditional Melodic Hardrock & AOR. The band is based in the heartland of Sweden, Dalarna and all members contribute to the song-writing and arrangement process.   Stormburst have released two albums so far: ”Raised On Rock” (2017, AOR Heaven) and “Highway To Heaven” (2020, AOR Heaven).   Now, “III” is the third album by Stormburst which will be released on May 19th, 2023 via Pride & Joy Music.  All songs were written by Nilsson, Hanson, Jansson, Hinden, and Östling and recorded At Studio Plåtis Vansbro and Studio Bakery Äppelbo between December 2022 and February 2023.
