darkbarguitar - 2013-10-03 5:25 PM Sure! We could be so lucky as to ever write an intro as catchy as Stairway, or Smoke, or Money For Nothing... Yep, and that's why the pimply faced 15 year olds play them - they're some of the catchiest riffs ever strummed (or picked). I wasn't implying that people weren't impressed by the riffs - just the kids playing them!  Edited by rick endres 2013-10-03 6:49 PM | |||

| Additional mentions: "Skinny Bop" by Poison and "Dr. Feelgood" by Motley Crue. Now, let's do some culling: Old Man Arthur Behind Blue eyes does rock eventually but not at the intro. Slipkid Nope, too basic. muzza Boston? Not what I would call catchy. How many people do you know that can hum it? 'Sanctuary' is closer but not enough to make the grade. Tim in Tidewater I love that tune but we are talking about intros  dobro Right artists, wrong song. Damon67 Overture from 2112? Again, who can hum it? Zep's Stairway is iconic but its the whole song that makes the intro memorable, not the intro itself. Mr. Ovation Queensrhyche, Aldo Nova. Nice suspense but not worthy of the greats. "Ridin' the Storm Out" in the league with the greats? Oh and see my entry for Skinny Bop as an improved version of ETI titti191730cm That intro is too complicated, like your username rick endres A little too pedantic to make the category. Captain Lovehandles picked the right Eagles tune. CSN was a better try. Beal Seriously? It might sway but it definitely doesn't rock tpa Berry, definitely, Steppenwolf close but no, as for the rest, really? DaveKell I love ZZTop but couldn't you pick a better one than that one? dwg preacher Interesting but maybe not quite iconic. TOPDOGJIM No matter which version, I always got the sense the guitarist forget which song he was playing If you weren't mentioned above, I agree with your submission and applaud your fine taste in rock riffs, for the others mentioned, you probably have many other redeeming qualities besides recognizing a great rock opening riff Edited by gmaslin 2013-10-04 3:45 PM | |||

Joined: October 2012 Posts: 349 Location: Denver, CO | Please note tongue firmly planted in cheek: does anyone else get the idea gmaslin listened extensively to EVERY song before composing a reply? Sorry g, but there have been so many comments I can't remember who all you are agreeing with...  | ||

| dwg preacher Well, like I said, if you ain't on the list above, then I endorse your selection. If anyone gave a fig about my opinion, they could easily trace the thread back to figure it out. By the way, you're right, I did listen to every song before I posted. I don't make a habit of commenting unless I am fairly sure of what I'm saying, unlike some members here who speak without knowledge and make false accusations with regularity BobG By the way, did you ever learn the meaning of those words you were having trouble with? It's a shame your wits don't match your taste in music Edited by gmaslin 2013-10-04 5:26 PM | |||

I'm sorry for this complicated username .Unfortunately I do not think it is possible to change the username. I would love to do, really. However I put the Jeff Beck intro because it was a special intro..... Edited by titti191730cm 2013-10-06 6:09 AM | ||

I would love to do, really. titti, click on the "Control Panel" button in the upper right hand corner. The very first item on the list is your Display Name.. you can change that to whatever you'd like. I think you still have to log in with the other username. Edited by titti 2013-10-07 11:11 AM | ||
