Outta those it would probably be black dog for me (even though gnr are my favourite band!). It's just such a clasic!

[Cynebearn]

WTTJ !!

CL

[jack99]

Guns N Roses - Welcome To The Jungle is the perfect opener!

I think The Doors-Break on Trough and Oasis-Rock n Roll Star should be on the list as well....

[Yamisonic]

I'd put Sympathy For The Devil or Gimme Shelter instead of Paint It Black. My vote goes for WTTJ, it's one of my favourite songs

[krissirge]

Slayer - Angel Of Death

Judas Priest - Painkiller

Cannibal Corpse - Shredded Humans

Metallica - Battery

Megadeth - Last Rites/Loved To Death

[Lumiere]

Guns N' Roses - Welcome To The Jungle - Ludicrous Amount Of Votes

Ahem.

"Black Dog" makes an AWESOME intro. When the first words come, its like a kick in the stomach.

WWTJ pales in comparison (though not by much).

[there is no dana only zool]

cowboys from hell & the great southern trendkill - Pantera

[x Axl Rose x]

Guns N Roses - Welcome To The Jungle is the perfect opener!

I think The Doors-Break on Trough and Oasis-Rock n Roll Star should be on the list as well....

I didnt want to put GNR oin this poll, but! WTTJ is my favourite song and the best opener it had to be in the poll, I no othe rsongs deserve to be in this poll but as I said I was going off wat came to mind first, plus I like paint it black

[oneAXLinamillion]

Guns N Roses - Welcome To The Jungle

[basketzero]

Welcome to the jungle...no doubt about it....pretty much impossible to beat that opener!!

[providman]

"Fast as a Shark", from Accept's album "Restless & Wild" is the greatest fucking album opener ever. You got to hear it to believe it.

Other great openers, in no particular order :

Ozzy I Don't Know & Over the Mountain

Deep Purple Highway Star

ACDC Hells Bells

Weezer Tired of Sex

Wilco I am Trying to Break Your Heart

RATM Bombtrack

Kiss Detroit Rock City

RHCP Power of Equality & Around theWorld

Iron Maiden Nimber of the Beast(fuckin awsome)

I can probably name dozens more.
