Silverkin Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Anyone get any favourite tracks with killer intros they'd like to share? I've got a few that I really love, they kind of build excitement for the song and even though the songs themselves aren't necessarily among my top listens I'll play them just because I love the openings so much. I was working on a blog this morning and that's what got me thinking about it. My top ones are: Duran Duran - Rio Dire Straits - Money for Nothing Raw Silk - Journey of No Return Chris Rea - Road to Hell (the extended version) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazysam Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 First ones that come to mind for me would be AC/DC - Thunderstruck Guns N' Roses - Welcome to the Jungle Def Leppard - Rock of Ages Ozzy Osbourne - Crazy Train Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simo Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 I've always liked the intro / beginning of W.A.S.P.'s ''The Idol'' , not the dialogue at the beginning but the part with ''Will I be alone this morning, will I need my friends'' and the way it rolls into the part of the song with the acoustic guitar riff and the ''If I could only stand'' part. Unfortunately that whole part is cut off in this video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kristian Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Jump to 19:40 and listen how the track "Damned in any Language" works as intro to "Better to Reign in Hell". Great stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still I'm not seeing Icon in your posts and I'm getting worried... Mr. Big - Had Enough (the original version, not the disgrace that's the remastered version, and, sadly, the only one uploaded in spotify) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Gold Donors Darkstone Posted December 27, 2017 2023 Gold Donors Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 Although they're not normal HH fare, I've always had an appreciation for "The Cure". I don't think you could call them a Rock band, having said that, this track does rock IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
