Marty

For Rush, I'd say either that one or Limelight. Limelight gets me going every time from the very beginning.

April Wine - Roller (always liked Myles' scream at the beginning of that one) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c82q6QC0 ... re=related
The Who - Baba O'Reilly
The Sweet - Ballroom Blitz
Supertramp - School
Aerosmith - Sweet Emotion

Gmaj7/sus4

Here's what a lot of people think it is:

# A dominant 9th of F in the key of C
# G-C-F-Bb-D-G
# C-Bb-D-F-G-C in the key of C
# A polytriad ii7/V in Ab major
# G7sus4 (open position)
# D7sus4 (open position)
# G7 with added 9th and suspended 4th
# A superimposition of Dm, F, and G
# Gsus4/D
# G11sus4
# G7sus7/A
# Dm11 with no 9th
# Gm7add11
# G9sus4/D

Great choice!

Please post how it was. They were here over a year ago, my sister and bro-in-law saw them and said it was a great show. My sis was floored at how many of their hits she had forgot about. Have a great time!

These are my 5,the ones responsible for many fried speakers :lol:

:

Jump -- VH
Kickstart My Heart -- Motley Crue
Tom Sawyer -- Rush
Highway To Hell -- AC/DC
Whole Lotta Love -- Led Zep

Journey is in a special category.The best adrenalizers are: DSB,SIL,MOL,BGTY,Escape,Line Of Fire & Separate Ways.

A perfect original song. Every once in a while I'll hear a band kinda rip it off for one of their "originals", with the same popcorn drum intro, and it just shouldn't be attempted. Also heard a few people rip off "Girl Gone Bad", and the same... those songs were too distinctive to be copping from.

by **Gin and Tonic Sky** » Fri Feb 08, 2008 12:44 am

DSB is my favourit intro -

Being almost as big of an Alice Cooper fan as a Journey fan, I cant fail to mention Hello Hooray , No More Mr Nice Guy and Poison by Alice as having openings that get me going.

It's a short intro, but it makes me want to turn on full volume.

Boy that is a great entry to be sure.

I would enter Summer of 69. Phenomenal guitar crunch...everyone knows that song.

I would put "It's Only Love" ahead of that one. Love that intro.
