Always thought the beginning of 311 - Flowing was cool, different, but cool.

Eric Clapton - Loving Your Lovin'.

The opening chords and bass lines are just... awesome.

 

[fooshkee]

"everlong" - foo fighters
"drag you down" - finger 11 <---- not that great song, cool intro though.

 

[ThaGrandCow]

Off the top of my head... either:

Pink Floyd - The Wall
or
Offspring - The Kids Aint All Right

 

[Spagina]

Metallica - For Whom the Bell Tolls and Seek and Destroy

These two are my favorite intro's.

 

[SWScorch]

Metallica - Orion, For Whom the Bell Tolls
Zao - To Think of You is to Treasure an Absent Memory
Crutch - Awe and Disbelief
Apocalyptica - Hall of the Mountain King (a beautiful combination of squealing and rumbling cellos; so evil sounding)
Training for Utopia - Modus Operandi
Emperor - Curse All You Men (such a demonic sounding scream)
ACDC - Thunderstruck
Anthrax - Random Acts of Senseless Violence
Dimmu Borgir - The Maelstrom Mephisto
Extol - Storms of Disillusions

(No Such Order: just naming them as I think of them)

 

[stevens]

Definately Eye of the Tiger!

 

[deftron]

2 Live Crew - Me So Horny j/k

 

[Supermercado]

Megadeth - Trust

 

[duragezic]

Wow I gotta agree with a lot. Wake Up, Crazy Train (the rest of the song sucks and I hate ozzy but I love that intro when I heard it on a skating video I had to pick up the guitar and find some tabs hehe), Everlong, Love Buzz...

My vote is for Pennywise - Greed, and I like Millencolin - Blackeye a lot too.

 

[Gonad the Barbarian]

Not sure about beginning, but Guns 'n Roses has the best ending of any song I've ever heard to date in November Rain.

 

[Apollyon]

Can't decide between Aldo Nova "fantasy" and John Mellencamp "jack and diane"

 

[SWScorch]

<< Not sure about beginning, but Guns 'n Roses has the best ending of any song I've ever heard to date in November Rain. >>



Oh god yes... the way Slash makes that guitar cry is spine-tingling indeed.

 

[Supermercado]

Don't intend to turn this into a "best beginning" thread, but November Rain does indeed have an excellent beginning.
