Special K 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2004 I shall start. Pretty much in the order I thought of them. 1. Sonic Youth- Teen-Age Riot A very unassuming that steadily builds to one of the rockinest openings EVA! 2. Orbital- I wish I had Duck Feet From the somewhat revolutionary Snivilization album, Orbital takes a sample of rain falling and slows it down and morphs it into a beat. Must be heard to be believed! 3. Beehtoven - Pathetique symphony. Great song, with one of the most oninous chord builds ever. Helps that I can play it. 4. Carmina Buranna - I'm sure I just spelled that wrong, but this is the quintessintial bombastic opening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

B. Brian Brunzell 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2004 I have always loved the opening to Type O Negative's "Christian Woman." The opening line of Forgive her, for she knows not what she does leading into the minor chords on the keys gets me every time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2004 Emperor - Anthems To The Welkin At Dusk. The intro Alsvartr merging into Ye Entrancempirium basically lets you know that you're about to ride a tornado straight through hell. 'Winds and storms. embrace us now Lay waste the light of day Open gates to darker lands We spread our wings and fly away' The ultimate musical build up and still the number one metal album of all time.

Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted December 1, 2004 "Gateway to Hell" - Thrill Kill Kult Standard TKK sample to start, followed by sick guitar licks and in my opinion the two best, and best used, samples of TKK's career, straight into the glorious industriothrash that made their name for them.

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted December 1, 2004 The Misfits, in any era, have great intro's in their songs. They were significantly better during the Danzig era, but then again so was the band (though the guitar work on American Psycho and Famous Monsters is superb). I love the opening to Nevermore's cover of "The Sounds of Silence." It plays a slightly distorted, yet acoustic, lick from the original tune, and then overdrive kicks in and everything picks up volume, and everything is THRASHED UP while keeping the original note progression going. Though I hate the band, Hatebreed's "Before Dishonor" has a fucking awesome intro. The rest of the song is pretty good, but nothing matches the first 30 seconds or so. And, of course, the obligatory mention of "Natural Born Killers" by Dr. Dre and Ice Cube. Missile launches, explosion while the main "lick" of the song plays, and then Dre comes in rapping with the line "journey with me in to the mind of a maniac / doomed to be a killer since I came out of the nutsack."
