Great opening song riffs

[8893]

 

[UConn Esq]

Some others I dont remember seeing yet:

Rage Against The Machine - Killing In The Name Of
Dire Straights - Money For Nothing
White Stripes - Seven Nation Army

 

[Dove]

Turn.This.Up !!



Louder!!!!

 

[Excalibur]

 

[Yardigan]

 

[Excalibur]

 

[8893]

Cream is another one with a motherlode of these. I mean Disraeli Gears alone has at least three other candidates in addition to this: Strange Brew, Tales of Brave Ulysses and Swlabr.

 

[Excalibur]

 

[Excalibur]

First thing that popped in my head....

Panama, Beautiful Girls, Hot for Teacher . . .

 

[8893]

Uh oh, now you've got me into three-guitar Southern rock mode. Lynyrd Skynrd can give anyone a run for their money here, too.

Sweet Home Alabama?
The Ballad of Curtis Loew?
I Know a Little?

 

[Excalibur]

 

[8893]

Possibly the most infectiously happy opening ever. Moves everyone from 9 months to 90 years old.

 

[Excalibur]

Ok last one

 

[8893]

One that I always include in the conversation for best song, ever:

 

[Excalibur]

Uh oh, now you've got me into three-guitar Southern rock mode. Lynyrd Skynrd can give anyone a run for their money here, too.

Sweet Home Alabama?
The Ballad of Curtis Loew?
I Know a Little?

Skynrd rules that genre for sure.

 

[Yardigan]

[8893]

Another one that grabs me every time and makes me want to move:

 

[Brownie]

Money for Nothing - Dire Straits
Lola - Kinks
Tuck & Roll - Bow Thayer

 

[Yardigan]

Fastforward to about 2:10...

 

[storrsroars]

I am not much of a Morrissey fan, but this thread has to include Johnny Marr.



I've heard tell that guitarists don't like covering this because it hurts.

 

[Mike Honcho]

I'ma go outside the box.

 

[BFieldHusky]

U2: Where the Streets Have No Name. Amazing live.

 

[TRest]

When reading other boards like the old A.V. Club discussing favorite guitarists/; Eliot Easton gets a lot of love for his efficient style.
