The Beginnings Epic Rock Songs

[smwilliamson]

I can't stop myself. Really, there is little that I hate more than this jackass.

What? You're not fan hegh?

 

[ScotO]

When the Levy Breaks is one of the best intros EVER! Once again Scotty I bow down to you...

I can't take credit, my good man.......it's all Zep.....
Hey, when you have a couple of the best guitarists that ever lived, THE best drummer that ever lived, and one of the best vocalists that ever lived all come together at the exact same moment in time and form a group like that, you're gonna have some good stuff!

Someone already posted it...love the beginning of Sweet Emotion by Aerosmith, too bad the rest of the song sucks.

Love the intro guitar riff here, dual stereo tremelo fender twins...Johnny Marr ROCKS! I completely understand if you don't like the Smiths or Morrisey or think I'm think I'm gay for liking it...I'm comfortable with my musical tastes.

 

[ScotO]

Ok, lots of songs from the 70's had fantastic intros.....some were shorter ones. Another one of my favorite intro/guitar solo songs. Short intro, great song.....

 

[Jack Straw]

This one goes out to Gamma Ray

[ScotO]

OOOH Good one Jack! Love that one! Hard to believe that song is 39 years old!

 

[smwilliamson]

another great riff and beginning

I'm guessing you are referring to Bono/U2 and not the OP? To be honest, I hesitated at first to post as I don't think much of Bono or U2 and couldn't share his passion over THOSE posts but knew there were WAY better examples out there so I got sucked right in

 

[PapaDave]

I'm a huge Terry Kath fan !!

What we need ......is more cowbell.

 

[ScotO]

Ooops....almost overlooked these ones.....the intro's ain't real long, but you know the songs kick ass......

Gotta agree...intro is better than song to me as well.

I love these music threads because I always find something old that is new to me. I've always been a Joe Walsh fan and found this clip with him and three other great guitar players that I also have on my IPod.

 

[Delta-T]

I liked U2 until I saw them live...Outside Broadcast Tour. I like how many Yes songs have been posted. I would post Close to the Edge, or And You and I, but those songs are crazy long. The birds at the beginning of Close to the Edge is crazy. Try this on for size.

 

[PapaDave]

Speaking of Tull.....

[PapaDave]

Not sure how many know this guy, but........wow.
Also not really an epic rock intro, but.......wow.
