junkiesmile Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I second "Sweet Emotion". What's even better is the intro to that song at the beginning of "Dazed and Confused". Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Orkie Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 speaking of pink flod, what about Wish you were here?. the electric 12 string an Gilmour's fills also with Floyd, there's Not now John - "Fuck all that we gotta gone with these!" Floyd was/is the king of album openings and song openings in general. Speak to Me/Breathe, One of These Days, Shine On, WYWH, Atronomy Domine, Comfortably Numb, Pigs, Echoes, Run Like Hell, Another Brick, Weclome To the Machine, Have a Cigar, Time, Us and Them, Money etc the list goes on and on. And they did it beyond a bog standard guitar rock riff way. Very unique and cinematic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ZeroCharlie Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 It's been done I think before but most recently I heard it on a beck song: "one two, you know what to do" Mountain Bed, YEM is awesome. On That note "Dived Sky" is a sick one two. Once I learned those sliding chords It was the first thing I would play when I picked up a guitar. Makes me smile every time. On jam bands, how about "Spine of a Dog"- Moe. ? Back to wilco, that drumroll into "Side With the Seeds" just sucks me into the song. The silence is perfect, everybody starting at the same time. Cool Beans Lammycat I didn't think of "Once in a lifetime" Love that little bass slide. Dondoboy I am trying to break your heart is sick. Once I heard that opening I knew who I was. Well I like to think I did. But still Good stuff. It always reminded me of "Time"- Pink Floyd. I just got that in surround sound disk. It is crazy. to quote homer simpson: "It's like i'm livin' inside a cuckoo clock!" Piano intros: "Firth of Fifth" Is...gahh I can't even say. Genesis was freaking sick.Actually I put this in for one of the greatest intros ever. after the orgasmic piano, just that driving BUUUUUUMMMMM "THE PATH IS NEAR" also on genesis I love the opening lyric to "In the Cage": "I got sunshiiiiiiiiiiiine, In my stommmmmmmach"also "It" just because it would fit so well in a 70's cop show MMJ- "One Big Holiday" that riff is killer. Then it changes. Always catches me off guard.MMJ- "Run Thru" That bend has so much power over me. It is sick on Okonokos. John Smith: I tip my hat to you for saying "Whipping Post" mjpuczko- Machine gun is amazing. I was Five when I first heard that. I was like "You can do that?" so cool. How could I forget! One of my fav drum intros: "(I don't want to go to) Chelsea" -Elvis Costello (Lipstick Vogue is a close second and such awesome bass on that track) Great Thread. What is it with me and long posts today?Keep 'em coming! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ZeroCharlie Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 How could I forget! Rhinoceros- Smashing Pumpkinsokay It's a longer one, butFor Martha- Smashing PumpkinsThat whole song just builds until the Sick fuzz solo at 4:29 People hate on me for liking Barenaked Ladies but try out pre "one week" BNL: Gordon. Love that album, after that their stuff was either or. So I say the slow trumpet on "Hello City" is kinda funor maybe the depeche mode sounding intro to "Enid" For Beatles aside from the obvious hard Day's night I love "Misterrrrrrrrrrr Moonliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!" Offstroke chords on "She caught the Katy" Harmonica intro on "Fallibile"- Blues Traveler "Be gentle with me"- The Boy Least Likely To gets my vote for cutest intro Okay last one I swear. "Spider Fingers"- Bruce HornsbyI've seen it live with the noisemakers, and solo. Both times rocked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
