'Live it up' - Airborne- the best intro AC/DC never wrote

 

[Mullardman]

This is the correct answer...

 

[Mullardman]

Or this:

 

[Euan]

Devin Townsend - Kingdom

 

[Nero]

Don't remember seeing this, but if so, it's a startling omission

 

[24ggaarryy]

Papa was a rolling stone
Gimme shelter

I know they're obvious but they still do it for me.

 

[Discopants]

A few alternative offerings.

B52's Planet Claire
Guns N Roses, Welcome to the jungle
The stone roses, I wanna be adored.
Prodigy, Firestarter
Pink Floyd, Wish you were here

 

[Joe]

This is the correct answer...

Or you could have picked this....

( if we were to be picky are to what constitutes an intro this would be the one )

 

[Mullardman]

Well they certainly made a meal of it but size isn't everything...

Sorry, but despite the quality of Rod's (very eventual) vocal, the rest of that misses the point. Overlong chord sequence which to these ears has nothing much to do with a proper intro, then a facsimile of the Temps original intro which somehow fails to generate the immediate sense of desolation and forboding the song demands.I'm not up on musical technicality but it seems their 'facsimile' emphasises a minor key whereas the original uses a spiky major.

Put another way they've used the song as a vehicle for the band, rather than the band as vehicle for the song. IYWSIM.


Not that I'm picky you understand...

Kathaarian Life Code by Darkthrone - you just know something loud and scary is coming shortly after!

 

[Tim Jones]

Guns N Roses, Welcome to the jungle

Pretty much the only good thing that outfit ever produced.

For my money, Night in Tunisia by the Modern Jazz Quartet. The most sublime 16 bars in modern popular music.

 

[TheDecameron]

Patti Smith: Rock N Roll ******.

 

[mik_rik]

In My Own Time....... Family
The Hunter........ Free
Honky Tonk Women....... Stones

 

[dweezil]

Leftism by Leftfield

Barrio Fino by Daddy Yankee

 

[Zagreus]

Sweet Jane by Lou Reed from Rock N' Roll Animal written by Steve Hunter. Turn it up to 11!

Good shout Sir!

'Echoes'-Pink Floyd, you just know something great is going to follow it.

 

[Tarzan]

Good thread this!
