    A British masterpiece. Twin guitars.

    I was at this tour, something of the best I've seen live. Simply awesome musicians, love Glenn Tipton! #1 metal band.

    Could anyone other than Rob Halford the Metal God get away with letting the crowd sing the whole song? Ledge.

    Sorry for being late to add my two bobs worth but without reading thru this thread, l’m thinking the intro at Neil Diamonds Hot August Night concert with its slow build up still does it for me after all these years.

    Simply brilliant!

    This intro on its own can
    1. Make me happy and make me smile
    2. Get me up to dance.

    I vote this my favourite intro

    One of the great intros from the beginnings of 'Heavy Metal'...

    That is a brave call, but a good one.

    From the same era this beauty.

    Followed by this one, Martin Fry was a dead ringer for Dr David Owen...

    Intro riff on this has been sampled many times over, this is a great version, John Paul Jones knits this together brilliantly with 'young' Jason on the drums...

    In some bizarre coincidence I just commented on WATRB on someone's Avatar of John Voight in that film and how it's one of my favourite films. Great soundtrack as well including Everybody's talking.

    Perhaps the most famous intro to a film of all...

    David Bowie actually played and created the riff for 'Rebel Rebel,' most people think it was done by the late great Mick Ronson. I can never decide whether this is his greatest intro or if it's this one ...

    Reboot before the Review thread gets cluttered up with intros. Good to see Pretty Vacant gets quite a few nods, I think as DT said, not only because of how good it is but because of what it represented at the time.

    But missing to date is
