Best intro to a song.

I think so. The guitars churning, drums crashing and John Lydon screaming, "Right now!!!! Hahahahaha!!! I am an anti Christ, I am an anarchist."

Maybe I'm partial to it because I remember the first time I heard it - when Bollocks was a high-priced import over here - and it hit me over the head like a fucking baseball bat.

Another one: "Highway Star" - Made In Japan version.

 

Creedence didn't hem and haw, they busted right in.

 

For estreetjoe --
I've always been partial to the way "Badlands" hits the ground running.
For the slower stuff, I'll take "Racin' In The Streets."

 

Dragula by Rob Zombie has always been one of my favorites, both the song itself and the intro.

 

"Thunderstruck" - AC/DC
"Shout It Out Loud" - Kiss
"I Love It Loud" - Kiss
"Ring of Fire" - Johnny Cash
"Smoke of the Water" - Deep Purple
"Crocodile Rock" - Elton John

The Number of the Beast - Iron Maiden. A Vincent Price soundalike reciting passages from the Book of Revelation.

Trevor Hoffman has it right...
