That U2 song does have a great intro... and at the risk of getting U2 fans all agitated, here's another one 'City Of Blinding Lights' live in Chicago... bonus points for having a bit of Arcade Fire as the 'pre-intro'...

Streets U2 is an awesome intro. This guy starts from scratch if you click a little way back on how to build it up.

From the same album. I would argue that "Exit" is also an intro that beguiles, because its outro is so short.

I was gonna pop back and drop Where The Streets ..... myself but instead I always loved this one and the first note would always get me up doing my bestest Tim Booth on acid dancing............

Oh so many to chose from. Some great tunes here.

At 8:53, Pink Floyd's "Shine on you crazy diamond" has to be one of the all time classic intros:

Ride's "Leave them all behind" is also great. Love it when the guitars kick in.

And the Nephilim's "Endmoniada" is pretty cool:

Ok, I'll stop now

If I had any shame I'd keep this to myself, but the opening of Detroit Rock City by Kiss

Although I am not a big Oasis fan, love the guitar intro to . Rock n Roll Star. They did turn out some excellent guitar music and brought such sounds back to the charts.

From the same album. I would argue that "Exit" is also an intro that beguiles, because its outro is so short.

The great director Peter Weir made a quite thrilling use of this song's intro in the interesting, strange moody psychological drama "Fearless", starring Jeff Bridges...enjoy the ride! ;):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUBaRqY_NqA


I must admit that this song and especially its intro always gives me chills, almost 30 years after the album's release (another one of my fav song on this album is "Red Hill Mining town")



Well, if it's gonna be old school rock and shit... bit of AC/DC, anyone? You know what track this is...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5iTQf5PDyY

 :D

and what about "Hell's bells"?? ;)


Some others "heavy metal" intros i like...:

On my favourite Thin Lizzy album "Renegade"...

The title track...i love this bass line, the clear guitar sound, Phil Lynott's warm, moving voice and lyrics:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1K539_fdUg

Same case for "It's getting dangerous":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uadp-BL_QH4

"Angel of death":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGtJ8WR5Shc

Jane's addiction "Three days"...Perry Farell is genius:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmvG2GZ3S7o

Suicidal Tendencies "Asleep at the wheel":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juaM1Zrq9iE


Iron Maiden "Killers"...again, i love the bass line:

BUMP!

Yup, a bit bored tonight, felt like activating a thread... so... here's 'Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me' by The Smiths... 1:57 of awesome intro with a beautiful song after it...   ;)
