    Default Looking for an intro - who can help?

    Hi folks,

    We are currently looking for a good intro for our gigs. Something that comes from tape, before or while we enter the stage.

    Most of you know that my band plays rock oriented Blues.

    Has maybe someone of you something I could use as an intro? Maybe you can upload something that I could download.

    We try to avoid the klischee stuff, like Mission Impossible Theme, All things Blues Brothers, James Bond Theme etc.

    Looking forward to getting your input. Hopefully some of you have something at hand that I could download.

    I've used "Linus and Lucy" in the past. It's lighthearted and recognizable. Aerosmith has used "Flight of the Valkyries."

    I've used Ren and Stimpy 'Happy Happy Joy Joy Song' several times. It's fun.

    I've also recorded a spoken/screamed intro for a friend's band saying something like 'Noooowww welcome on stage the country's...nooo, the univerrrrrsum's greeeatest band....(band name)'

    Half a dozen custom built/bastardized guitars all with EMG's, mostly 85's, Ibanez Artwood acoustic & Yamaha SGR bass, Epiphone Prophecy SG, Vox Wah, Pitchblack tuner plus assorted pedals, rack gear etc. for home studio use.

    D, could you also record something for my band?
    Band Name = Jimmy Steeltown & The Rolling Dice
    Style = Blues and Rock

    That would be great!

    They start the same but on the other I added a proper Spinal Tap scream/verb ending :-)

    So I guess it's too late to suggest Asia's Final Countdown? Hey, it worked for Gob on Arrested Development.

    Guitars: Lots.
    Amphs: More than last year.
    Pedals: Many, although I go straight from guitar to amp more often lately.
