Best Song Intro?

The Big Country

Alot of great songs and song intros there. I still love the short opening intro of Iron Maiden's "The Trooper." And yes I am going to get flak for it, but Queens "Flash Gordon" is a good intro as well

 

[JayJohn85]

Flak? Flash is pure epic cheese.


As for maiden the clansman for me personally



PS> The trooper is epic song but its fast.....Crimean war damn it took stones to charge cannons on horseback.

The intro is actually an excerpt of Terry Riley's Octet. On a side note, one of my private guitar teachers in college was Terry Riley's son, so that's my connection to The Who. That, or the time I ran them over when they were walking off the stage. :1orglaugh :o

Nightwish - The Poet And The Pendulum

Straight up epic, if you ask me.

Fuck yeah! Nightwish! You know what's scary? I can actually sing along with the first part, The White Lands of Empathica, which is actually the first movement of the song-like suite.

[LezFemmez]

"We, the nocturnal few
bound by other laws
to the service of the enemies of god
are silent and hidden
yet our exquisite fire burns on
poised to engulf..."

I would say it easily belong to "stairway to heaven." I could listen to the beginning of that song for the rest of my life. Also honorable to "let it be" ,"lost for words," and "nothing else matters."
