    For all the times I've heard MC5, I've never seen them, and what a bunch of ugly mother****ers they are! Great stuff though

    But there are quite a few good intros on Mate Feed Kill Repeat by Slipknot.
    You failed to mention B*tchslap, fantasticly odd intro, seconded on Gently though, great intro to a great song.

    My top one would probably be "Dimmu Borgir - Angels Decay", although they have a fair few good ones (Prognencies, Kings of Carnival Creation, etc).

    Seriously, if your heart doesn't go up a notch, you're dead. Those guys always make me wonder one simple thing:
    Why do other bands have so many apparantly superfluous people on stage? Why do the 90 guys in Slipknot make less noise than those three? Why did Slash need another guy cluttering up the stage playing around him?

    The first one that springs to mind would be Aerosmith's Eat the Rich, Def Leppard's stagefright too- Strange how the heavier bands seem to dominate the strong intros
