henry d Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 No, no, no!! You are all taking it out of context. Yes there are arguably better intro's from later years, but they may well not have happened were it not for these guys!! Think what music was acceptable at this time and listen to it with that in mind and it is a storming piece of music Well if we need to talk about better intros before the Beatles.......... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hYBgpZdbKM&feature=BFa&list=AVGxdCwVVULXcREBPMAVqzfEosRXvB_sOs&lf=list_related Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

100milesaway Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Some good riffs in there boys, it's no wonder i ended up like i am. When i was 16 and all my pals were getting the hots for Cliff Richards, what was i listening to, yes you guessed it. Lead Belly, John Lee Hooker, Sceaming Jay Hawkins,Moving onto Captain Beefheart, Frank Zappa,The Soft Machine, Led Zep, Black Sabbath, Jeff Beck, it's no wonder i'm nearly deaf, but i do feel like i got the best out of my musical tastes. from Auntie.

rimfire4969 Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Out of all the live bands I've seen, these include Iron Maden, Motorhead, Black Sabbath and AC DC, G'N'R were one of the best. Come away completely Knackered How right you are, one of the best i have ever seen and i have seen a quite a few. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0DT2RrJLGI&feature=related Having said that my vote goes for ACDC Back in Black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty_Harvo Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 So many to choose from but must go for the iconic Led Zeppelin Whole lotta love Instantly recognised by most generations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come away completely Knackered Gun & Rose's are good when they turn up both back then and now Iron Maiden has my vote for one of the best bands I have seen for performance value and quick pace but my over all best concert has to be Fleetwood Mac who also could contend for best riff with the legendary song Albatross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4eyes Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 More recent Muse with Hysteria. But stepping back a little, so many to choose from... Crazy Train - Ozzy Hells Bells All along the Watch tower - Hendrix The list could go on. This one is going to take some 'serious' debate in the pub tonight!

Paul T Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Some top guitar openers here but can't overlook this one. Such a familiar song that the intial chords give you a subconscious signal to whack the volume :lol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOUqRZkR8dE&feature=related Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloke Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 (edited) These are all great, hard to choose, but for my sixpennyworth, this is a great classis (But not the original, without the ten minute YAWN intro) But who can forget this (except you lot who weren't born then ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G18FS7O-Y3g Edited August 26, 2011 by Bloke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
