No matter how many times I hear them, the timing still throws me off.

"All Along The Watchtower".The Jimi Hendrix Experience.

"Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except For Me And My Monkey". The Beatles.

I know EXACTLY what you mean. I think about one-third of all AC/DC songs do this to me. - Sun, 20 Mar 2005 11:24pm

In Loving Memory by the Set comes to mind. The paino at the beginning makes me think its going to start out at a much faster pace than it does.....
Another song with a similarly off-throwing intro is Worlds Apart by ...Trail Of Dead. Instead of pace, its tempo... you just expect it to be a few BPM faster than it is! Kind strange. - Fri, 25 Mar 2005 3:09pm

That seems strange about AC/DC because don't they use basic blues riffs?!? Intros that throw me off? Just about everything out there :) - Fri, 25 Mar 2005 6:08pm

Yeah most AC/DC riffs are simple, it's just in the intros, you can't figure out where the beginning of each riff repitition is, until the drums finally kick in. Unless you've heard it a million times. Just listen to the beginning of "Shake Your Foundations" for instance. - Sat, 26 Mar 2005 9:16am
