This guy is pretty dang solid for ripping from one to the next...

You'll need to watch or skip the Progressive commercial first.

The Doobie Brothers China Grove.

 

[CaptainBoogerBuns]

Layla is probably best out of the gate.

I can see that. Also hon mention on piano and guitar solo

Bostons Foreplay gets the blood going. A masterpiece!. Guitar intro though?

Plenty of guitar in that one among other instruments.

Anarchy in the UK smacks you in the face immediately.

He may be thinking of the part where it transitions into 'Longtime'. There's a good lead by Scholz in there.

And i always thought of Eruption as the guitar intro to Ain’t Talking Bout Love. Not sure there’s any better if that counts.

 

[K86]

Spirit of the Radio. Rush

 

[DreadLox]

How did I forget 'You really got me'...Van Halen. That's classic Eddie.

Nobody will mistake it for the greatest guitar intro, but it is certainly iconic. And taken in total, it IS one of the greatest intros of all time.

 

[barbourfor3]

I ain’t the one is another Skynard song with a pretty awesome intro

 

[80 Proof]

How did this thread get to this many posts with no mention of Knopfler shredding at the beginningof Money For Nothing?

Cool little piece of trivia on that riff

 

[K86]

Summer Nights-VH
Heavy-Collective Soul
Uncle Toms Cabin-Warrant. Yeah they suck as a band but great song.

I'm an IDIOT for not thinking of that one. Mark Knopfler is one of the best. Plus I just love their music.

 

[FirewithFire]

May not be the greatest, or longest, but I always recognize it.




Also, old Metallica everything.
