cameltoe Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) Unknown Road- Pennywise. That piano tune that acts as a theme through a few of their albums, that descends into furious palm muted power chords. Bravery, Repitition and Noise- BJM. A delicate start to the song Just for Today which always raises the hairs on the back of my neck, especially when the strings come in. Incesticide- Nirvana. Having exhausted Nevermind, at 14 years old I was pleased to have something else to thrash out, in the form of this rushed-released B-sides album. That opening bassline to Dive and the feedback intro to the guitar chords pumps me up every time.

Lynottfan Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) the sheer power of the opening chords of the Boys are back in Town, still sounds like an explosion. The sleaze of Touch to much by AC/DC The fuzz of Dance to the music. Edited December 8, 2015 by Lynottfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubit Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Sweet and innocent by Diamond Head. It's so old, but still gives me a buzz when I hear the riff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miles'tone Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 My fave opening chords to an album, that sends shivers down my spine due to the fact I know what a treat of a journey I'm now on (phew), is on: The Changeling, which opens The Doors LA Woman album. A 'lifer' album (for me) for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barneyg42 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 [quote name='Alex Tootstick' timestamp='1449269029' post='2922202'] The harmonica intro to school by supertramp is a really spine tingly start, proper builds the song up. Love it [/quote] My all time favourite album, Crime of the Century! And the outro on the title track does it for me too....but that's another thread!!

Beer of the Bass Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I can think of a few, but this one is fun. The intro to this is just so abrasive, jagged and uncomfortable that I break out in a massive grin every time.

Dazed Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 One of the best, if not THE best chord smiths around. Tim Smith of Cardiacs infamy. Pure genius.

martin8708 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Start me up . Keef and the Rolling Stones . The way Charlie Watts seems to come in slightly too late , but pulls it back in , great timing by Mr Watts . Also probably THE most botched opening chord by cover bands .
