Shellac - Doris (this by itself makes me want to go buy my own drum kit)

Fugazi - Waiting Room

Brant Bjork & the Bros - Lazy Bones -> Automatic Fantastic (I guess you could say Lazy Bones is all intro for Automatic Fantastic... as far as I know they open every damn show with this, but I tell you what I think it works)

Mudhoney - Broken Hands (I still say bonus style points for taking the outro from Cinnamon Girl and putting it to a different use)

Kiss - Larger Than Life

Jimi - Hey Baby New Rising Sun

I would like to second Big Star - Back Of A Car (actually I love the LACK of intro - one of those songs that leaps right into the first verse from the word go and dammit it works)

Bone Machine - Pixies

Wall of Voodoo - Mexican Radio

Happy Guy - Devo (one of the only songs from 'Total Devo' that I'd actually defend)

did someone already say AC/DC - For Those About To Rock

Danzig - It's Coming Down (Danzig may be a funny guy, but I still love how this song starts off that Thrall ep)

Vic Chesnutt - Withering

Tuxedomoon - Jinx

AC/DC - Walk All Over You

Also, I'll see your Rolling Stones- "Can't You Hear Me Knocking?" and I'll raise one Rolling Stones "Sway" from same

We've Got A Fuzzbox And We're Gonna Use It! - Love Is The Slug
(c'mon you Brits - I expect a good lashing for this one, but I still love it!)

oh yeah "Angel Of Death" - it hardly needed to be stated - but damn - still never get over that one - it will earn me a speeding ticket every damn time

I know I'll think of a zillion more after I hit the 'submit' button...

Yessir. That'll cause a couple accidents!

The first eight beats of "Back in Black"...oh the anticipation hangs heavy with the hi-hats.....

If you ever really want to annoy somebody, turn down the volume and skip ahead until the end of 'Walk All Over You', when it gets quiet. Then turn it up full blast.

YOU! OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!

Trust me. It works.

i actually prefer the bit where adrock screams which isnt the very start.
do i need to delete this post.

or is that what you mean

I was just wondering (kind've aloud) if there is a difference between a great into and an intro to a great song. I love the intro to Sabotage, but do I love it because it's followed by one of my favourite tracks (Sabotage) or because the intro is great.

That's all.

Don't panic Sir Rysie; deep breathes...

morning lord rabbiton

thanks for the explanation. it is most definitely both a great intro and great song. even if the song were crapiton that intro would be great.

thinking on my arse. maybe a link to great intros of bad songs.
tell me if i should. if not i have another thread in me 'ead.

do you own a hangover today?

Nope; with Mrs Rabbit so close to kittening, heavy drinking is not a marvelous idea!

I like your good intro/crap song idea too.

Also good morning.
