Members keNz Posted September 15, 2007 Members Share Posted September 15, 2007 I'll go with AC/DC Openings for: Hell's Bells, Highway to Hell You shook me all night long all create a real sense of anticipation, all are very simple and you know what song is coming... Exactly what I was thinking. Also, can't forget Thunderstruck and Back In Black. So simple but so awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members keNz Posted September 16, 2007 Members Share Posted September 16, 2007 Oops, didn't realize when I posted that there were multiple pages in this thread and people already said what I wanted to say. Egg on my face! And also, I may get flamed for this, but Metallica has some kick ass intros. Enter Sandman, Seek and Destroy, Ride The Lightning, etc. and St. Anger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members z28talon Posted September 16, 2007 Members Share Posted September 16, 2007 AC/DC was the one that jumped out at me. Others: The Angels, also know as Angel City...kind of an obscure band, but a lot of powerful rock hooks. Jet (their 1st CD) The Who (Who's Next, Quadrophenia)as well as a lot of earlier stuff Kinks UFO Yardbirds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Durden Singer Posted September 24, 2007 Members Share Posted September 24, 2007 Radiohead - Airbag, Paranoid Android come to mind Jeff Buckley - Satisfied Mind, Dream Brother, Forget Her, Hallelujah, Grace They sound interesting and not like Rock Guitar Intros.

Members leftwing73 Posted September 24, 2007 Members Share Posted September 24, 2007 AC/DC is like the ultimate opening-riff band. Maiden has some good ones - The Trooper, Wasted Years, 2 Minutes to Midnight, Number of the Beast, The Evil That men Do. Good call on Dokken - Lots of awesome Lynch opening riffs, In My Dreams, Burning Like A Flame, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jerseyboy62 Posted September 24, 2007 Members Share Posted September 24, 2007 Black Sabbath.Hole In The SkySabbra Cadabra How about Sympton of the Universe? Once you can get passed the cover on that album, its actually pretty good. It's just Ozzy in a dress and ladiers boots and Bill Ward in that leotard just too creepy. There has to be an inside joke for that photo. :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members leopardstar Posted September 25, 2007 Members Share Posted September 25, 2007 GnR, sweet child o'mine sh*t i can't remember the name of the band, but lead in on "ghost riders in the sky" is pretty good then of course just because it brings back so many memories and is so reconizable there is "free bird" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Metalhead Mike Posted September 25, 2007 Members Share Posted September 25, 2007 I think AC/DC and Van Halen are probably the two easiest choices here and I can't disagree. Both bands write amazing, memorable intro riffs you can't forget. You Shook Me All Night Long, Unchained, Panama, Hell's Bells, Back In Black, Ain't Talkin' Bout Love...
