Part 2 - Greatest Intro's ever

[lamerjay]

Bulls on Parade - Rage Against the Machine ...

[Spudmurphy]

Jeff Beck - because we ended as lovers.

[Monkeyboy23]

Billy Squire - In the Dark
Billy Thorpe - Children of the Sun
XTC - Summer's Cauldron
King Crimson - LTIA Part I
Led Zep - The Rain Song / Ten Years Gone / Over the Hills and Far Away
Hendrix - Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)

There are so many. The Crimson song violates the rule by taking a long time to build up, but it's still cool.

[Tim O'Sullivan]

How about the Rain Song by Led Zep?

[Hovisbap]

Wish you were here - pink floyd
Hotel california live (hell freezes over) - Eagles
Decadence Dance - Extreme
Livin on a Prayer - Bon Jovi
Something about you - Boston
Layla - D & t D
Rock and roll - Led Zep
Yours is no disgrace - Yes

[Ali]

I have to add the title track from Paul Gilbert's Get Out Of My Yard. Staggering!!

[Knox]

+1 M8

Intro to Scenes from a Memory from Score DVD/CD

Jp's playing/tone/phrasing was awesome and he used one of the prototype Siltruccis......lovely!

[surrealforreal]

Pink Floyd- Shine On You Crazy Diamond (any part)
Pat Metheny- Roots of Coincidence
Mahavishnu Orchestra- One Word (half of their songs, really)
Pink Floyd- Astronomy Domine
Nugent- Stranglehold
Steve Miller- Fly like an Eagle

[Bungo]

My best ever...Watcher Of The Skies - Genesis

Closely followed by Xanadu - Rush

Both simply awesome! Play 'em both very loud!!!!!

Edit: Also my vote for most over the top intro ever goes to Rainbow's Eyes Of The World (on Down To Earth)

Magnificent overblown stuff!!!!

[73h Nils]

Being a Dream Theater and John Petrucci fan, I am tempted to rattle off a ton of their songs, but I'll spare you all.

+1! Endless Sacrifice is a good one, everything's fine, everything's good...then Bam! The audience is on fire.

[radrock]

Jerry Was A Race Car Driver

Friends I'd Like To Kill (by Slow Roosevelt)

Runnin' With The Devil (I'm referring to the car horns)

The 20th Century Fox Fanfare (only when played before Star Wars)
