I was just thinking of this yesterday when I was listening to the LIVE version of The Party's Over on the Houston Escape cd.........absolutely love the intro on that. Everything about it, the drums, guitar, keyboard, bass, Perry's killer vocal intro then right into Neal's guitar....love it.

Best song intros?

Knockin at your back door - Deep Purple
Gates of Babylon - Rainbow
Spirit of Radio - Rush

I've always liked the quiet, acoustic intros to Metallica's "Fight Fire With Fire" and "Battery", right before the heavy riffs tear your head off.

You do know that Neal's guitar at the beginning to the Party's Over is supposed to be a ringing phone...and then Perry says, Hello.....pretty cool.

Deep Purple's would make for a great movie soundtrack.

Yes! the start sounds like a tension builder in a scary movie!

The start of Tarot Woman almost goes along that line too.......

Deep Purples Knocking At Your Back Door was the first one that came to my mind when I saw this topic too.

The intro to me means all the music up until the vocals kick in.
