Greatest "Intro" to a song ever?

What is your favorite Intro to a song? Anythign from Instruments to lyrics.

Mine is a tie between "Bullet Ride" by In Flames (which is an amazing song, that nobody at my school seems to appreciate >.>) and "Citizen Erased" by Muse.

I'm not sure this is my favorite but this is the first one that came to mind.

Fairies Wear Boots by Black Sabbath

I love Ac/DC's "Back in Black" intro. I could not name the best ever though.Cube_of_MooN

Honor thy father by Dream Theater.

The quote is from the 1960's TV show The Prisoner which Iron Maided dedicated the song "The Prisoner" to. You might've already known that though. I know they used it in the song to, which isn't that bad of a song.

The into to Spheres of Madness by Decapitated is pretty cool in my opinion.

All right I've listened to the intros that you people have showed so far , I still think Honor Thy Father is the greatest, just my opinion, though so let the flaming beging.

*Edit: Decapitated - Spheres of Madness is pretty darn cool.

Hallowed Be Thy Name is definitely one of the greatest intros to a song. Inno A Satana is pretty good too. I like how the shrieking was farther back in the mix.

I have to go with Hallowed Be Thy Name.

EDIT: The one for The Words 'Best Friend' Become Redefined by Chiodos is amazing as well.

Fade to black by metallica. Best song ever in the world.

Decapitated - Spheres of Madness is pretty darn cool.

Lord_Ander

I don't really have a favorite, too many to pick and go through lol.

One by Metallica is one of my favorites, but my mind is pretty blank right now.TM_Darkside

Orion has a good intro too, before it gets into the actual song there is like this trippy sounding long guitar notes.

Electric Wizard - Funeralopolis is where it's at!

Love of My Life - Queen

and a classical song: Op. 53 "Heroic" Polonaise - Chopin

Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up is the clear winner. ;Dclub-sandwich
