I hate that song! One of those songs that just grates on my nerves. :lol:

I agree...sort of. It's so much better live. They speed it up and it has a much harder edge. I think you'd be surprised.

John from Boston

I've heard it's "1, 2, 3, 4" in German. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Actually during VH1's Classic Albums on "Pyromania", Elliot said the whole "Gunter Glieben Glauken Globen" (or something to that effect) was absolutely nothing! He said they came up with some jibberish that meant nothing and had Mutt Lange sing it on the track. He also said he gets asked what the hell is being said and what it means more than any other question.

So then, Joe Elliot's first line afterwards should have said, "I got nothin' to say!"

The one I was going to say has already been listed.

Excellent add though. I remember this when it came out.

I was wondering when we'd get a JT in there! And SRV? Well, that's a bonus.

Good list.

I also like the intro to the Prophet's Song by Queen and Under Pressure (although Vanilla Ice damn near ruined that one for me!). Mean Streets from Van Halen has a great intro as well.

"Mean Street" - Van Halen

I love the blues-laden intro to this song -

When the Levee Breaks" - Led Zeppelin

The V.I. version never really gets airplay so its all good. Only when they're doing one hit wonders or worst songs of the 90s. :lol:

Sorry, Nikki. Looks like I was putzing with my post while yours was already there!
