Before the search police come knocking, I did a search and this was the closest thread I found but it was more about the opening lines of a song and not the music that leads in <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.hipbase.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5361&highlight=favorite+intro">http://www.hipbase.com/forum/viewtopic. ... rite+intro</a><!-- m -->
What I was pondering was, over time we've heard some cool musical intros to songs ie: Metallica-One, The Doors'-Riders on the Storm, Coldplay's-Clocks or The Stones'-Start Me Up who doesnt reconize that riff? Jimi's-Purple Haze lick is pretty awesome, or one of my fave's Nirvana's-Come As You Are....(there's too many to name really) Yes the first 15-30 seconds of a song can have a real lasting effect or impact, that being said anyone have a particular Hip favorite? Which ones really stand out, or make you jump out of your seat or scream I love that tune sweeeet!!
I can name some of my own favorites..
1. Opiated-one of absolute favorites, those first few riffs always get me going, especially the first time I heard them live, I was knocked on my ass. Also one of my favorite Hip songs as well.
2. Pigeon Camera-I dont know what it is but I just love the first 30 seconds of the song, I think it started the first time I saw Heksenketel, when it was playing during the bus ride. I always put it on my Hip CD-R's
3. If New Orleans Is Beat-such a sweet song, I love the opening, its puts me in a good mood everytime I hear it.
4. Mean Streak-this one is especially cool on the Toronto livedownloads version. Love it.
I could go on forever here, but I'll leave some for the rest of you's. Im more of a sucker for the slow songs, especially when it comes to the Hip, they have some of all-time faves.
