Songs with an acoustic intro

[edwithmj]

I really like these songs that have an acoustic intro such as Firehouse - Don't Treat Me Bad and Boston - Peace of Mind. Does anyone know of anymore good AOR/sleaze/glam/rock songs that have an acoustic intro that I can track down? Do other people on here really like them?

Try "The Climb/Fountain of Youth" by The Creek. Awesome hard rock song with a really cool acoustic/keyboard interplay intro.

I will have to do some research. The Firehouse song is not only one of my favorite Firehouse songs, it is one of my favorites period !

How about Motherlodes song Fingerpaint? well I guess that's a harmonica intro, but still an excellent way to intro a kick ass rock song!

[Kristian]

Backyard Babies - "Kickin' up Dust", awesome tune

[bangerdave]

Black Diamond-KISS

[All Nights Reserved]

Madelaine by Winger

 

Awesome song!

 

Probably loads of songs that fit this category, but a couple of big favourites that spring to mind:

 

Scorpions - Coming Home

Lillian Axe - The World Stopped Turning

 

Another one I have a lot of love for is Opeth - Ghost of Perdition, but I don't think it quite qualifies as AOR/sleaze/glam/rock as the OP requested (and the acoustic intro is tiny). And then there's Testament - The Ballad...

[KarpetRydOFunk]

Cinderella - Bad Seamstress Blues/Fallin' Apart at the Seams (One of my favourite tracks!)

Electric Boys - All Lips N Hips (Opens with sitar)

Extreme - Little Girls (No acoustic, but harmonica)

Extreme - Smoke Signals (Another all time favourite song)

 

Let me know if any of these were what you were looking for.
