6 pages and no Layla? The preeminent opening riff of a legendary rock song.

Not sure if this has been done or quite fits as an intro but E5150 leading into Mob Rules by Sabbath is incredible. I know it is listed as a seperate song but it flows right into it.

I think that album is one of their best. RIP: Ronnie James Dio.

There is a subliminal message in E5150 if you listen closely.

Nothing Else Matters by Metallica is a distant and obvious second to the true winner -- Back That Azz Up.
