Just browsing through a few songs.. thinking of which ones have good intros... some are good, just because they're different...

ACDC - TNT
Aldo Nova - Fantasy (the latter part of the intro)
Ventures - Wipeout
Billy Squier - Lonely is the Night
Boston - Long Time
Def Leppard - Pour Some Sugar on Me
half a dozen or so GN'R intros...
Asia - Heat of the Moment
Hollies - Long Cool Woman
Kansas - Dust in the Wind
Van Halen has just as many great openings as GN'R
Triumph - Fight the Good Fight
Scorpions - No One Like You
Rush - Spirit of Radio, several others
REO Speedwagon's intros are awesome, especially live in concert.
Yes - Owner of a Lonely Heart
Tube - She's a Beauty
Alan Parson's Project - Sirius (the intro to Eye in the Sky)
Ozzy Osbourne - Crazy Train
Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast (intro past the narrative)
Billy Idol - White Wedding
A couple by Queen - Pressure, Crazy Little Thing Called Love

I'm sure I'd think of dozens more if I kept going through my music files.

More. Van Halen > GnR

And I love GnR.


Anyway, here's one:

Van Halen: Everybody Wants Some
and Hot For Teacher

Edit: don't forget Poundcake


And the ultimate: Eruption/You Really Got Me.........nothing can beat that.
The guitar solo that changed rock guitar. :thumbsup:

If I'm not mistaken, Ventures did it first, then everyone (all the other of that genre) at the time copied it.
