Uh, since when did Stairway have a bass intro?

And sorry to be nit-picky, but technically Birdland has a synth intro, and THEN the bass comes in.....

Not sure iuf its been said, but I really like the intro to "dazed and confused" by led zeppelin.


Not sure if it counts, but the intro to "you could be mine" by Guns 'n' Roses is awesome to.

One of my current favourites is the one in Dream Theaters The Glass Prison. A church bell tuned in F# rings two times, the third time John Myung plays a harmonic which rings while he plays a beautiful, simple, melodic line on the G and C strings, once in a while plucking the low B as base... very cool indeed!
