kid dynamite - never met the gooch

i was just listening to an Obituary tape, Slowly We Rot, and there's at least one good song on there that starts with a drum fill. but it got me thinking... probably every great metal band is gonna have at least a few songs that start with drum fills. should those get called out individually, does anybody care enough, or should that just be "a few songs by every great metal band ever"?

"The World Has Turned and Left Me Here" Weezer
"Cranberry Razzle Dazzle" The Spectres

'Rise And Shine' by The Cardigans.

"Sugarcube" by Yo La Tengo

Quiet Riot - "Metal Health"

'Surrender' - Cheap Trick
'Up The Junction' - Squeeze

"take that" -- the damned

it seems to be a drum machine to boot.

"Notsur Dnuora Selcric," "Bird in the Hand," and "New Worship" by Sebadoh
"Endgame," "Fuel," and "Pomegranate Bleeding" by Idaho
"Burnout" and "Why Do You Want Him" by Green Day
"Come See About Me" by the Afghan Whigs
"On the Brink" and "Don't" by Dinosaur Jr.
"Stage" by Live (my personal favorite)


-Noah

"User" by local h
"2x4" by metallica
"glorified g" by pearl jam

and a whole lot of other songs from bad bands that i recall from high school.

and, although it is the simplest of fills, don't forget "i'll stick around" by the foo fighters.
