Jane's Addiction "3 Days"

Greatest song ever performed live. The drum solo just sends chills up the spine.

Van Halen - Running with the Devil.

Was there anyone else in the band besides Eddie?

A couple of face-melters from the realm of prog rock:

Genesis - "Firth of Fifth" (oh yeah Steve Hackett)
Yes - the 'Wurm' section of "Starship Trooper".

How about Hackett's first guitar break on "Dancing With the Moonlit Knight"?
As far as intros - Tony Banks' piano intro on the studio version of "Firth of Fifth" is fantastic! They never played a live version of that song with that intro included, that I ever heard, which is a bummer.

I love the intro to Blackened by Metallica
They have so many great ones
Cliffs of Dover by Eric Johnson is also pimp

Personally, one of my favorite music momments is the opening riff on Airbag by Radiohead. OK Computer is my favorite cd of all time and I just love the intro of that cd.

 

[Buck Nasty]

I forgot one.

The intro to 'Sister Havana" by Urge Overkill.

just a good old Rock and Roll riff.

Godzilla - Blue Oyster Cult

 

[Golferdow01]

Anyone mention Stairway to Heaven yet?

 

[DEBuckeye]

Although it doesn't have a rockin' intro, "Flirtin' With Disaster" by Molly Hatchet is a great guitar song. Cool rhythm riffs and a great solo.

 

[bucknut11]

Forgot one. The opening to "Thunderstruck" by AC-DC... THUN-DER

 

[stxbuck]

Alive-Pearl Jam
Gimme Shelter-Rolling Stones
She Sells (Sanctuary)-The Cult
Pride (In the Name of Love)-U2
Not Fade Away-Buddy Holly
Don't You (Forget About Me)-Simple Minds

 

[WyoBuck]

1. Little Wing- Stevie Ray Vaughn. Still makes me want to cry.
2. Summer Song- Joe Satriani
3. Mr. Crowley- Randy Rhoades
4.Yellow Ledbetter- Pearl Jam. Perfect time, beautiful transitions.
5.All Along the Watchtower- Jimi Hendrix. I doubt anyone will argue that this is one of the greatest of all time.

I'm surprised nobody said Red Hot Chili Peppers with "Under the Bridge"

Another favorite of mine is Pink Floyd with "Pigs"...the intro there kicks ass.
