cryptique Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 For Hendrix, I'd go with 'Burning of the Midnight Lamp'.Yeah, that's a great one. I also like "Castles Made of Sand." Among countless others. Hendrix knew how to open a song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Yeah, that's a great one. I also like "Castles Made of Sand." Among countless others. Hendrix knew how to open a song.I'll second "Castles", and Hendrix writing killer openings. I always loved that psychedelic backwards stuff that opens "Are You Experienced".

W(TF) Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I agree with Gimme Shelter, and Honky Tonk Women.... and Revolution, and Diamond Dogs; and Should I Stay Or Should I Go. All great "riff" openers. As far as lead guitar openings, Little Wing, and Cortez The Killer. If we're talking about our favorite band....we have a bunch of really good ones, but no opener gets me pumped like War On War. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
