- I was shown a compilation of the 15 Greatest Vocal Intros and I have to say, I didn't agree with the list entirely, so I made my own! Here are some of the great vocal intros in my humble opinion. Do let me know if you agree OR if you think I've left anything out that should've been included.
Here is a link to my playlist for you to enjoy: open.spotify.c...

FYI “Permission To Land” was top to bottom bangers as well. Such an awesome album - great riffs, way over the top everything, smart, funny and excellent production. Don’t sell yourself short Justin!
And their cover of Street Spirit (Fade Out) is amazing, one of the best Radiohead covers I've heard.
Agreed. The lead singles from the album are my least favourite songs on there, which is a testament to how great the whole thing is.
Permission to Land is epic. My favorite of theirs. Just has something different about it.
Definitely agree! Permission To Land is a fantastic album. They could've released any track from that album and had success. I think their newest album is the best they've released since PTL aswell ... and one of the best out there at performing above and beyond the recordings ... Great band, musicians and Justin comes across as humble as any rock star and celeb could possibly be. Fully deserved success! 👏
It plays like a Greatest Hit album.
Lifelong Queen fan. Loved the Darkness from the start because I could hear the Queen influence.
Please do deep dives on Queen and their hidden gems: there are SO MANY!
The first Queen one that came to mind for me was "Somebody to love"
"Is she really goin' out with him"?
New Rose by The Damned!!!
Yes!!
I'm very much enjoying these. I knew Take my Breath Away would be in there. I think Brian May recently described it as Freddie's most incredible vocal (or something like that).
Not only is Black dog a great vocal intro, it is one of the greatest starts to an album. Maybe a vid on greatest opening album tracks might be an idea?
Thanks, Justin! I’m obsessed with Queen. A Day At The Races is my favorite Queen album.
Freddie's greatest vocal intro is actually for the 12" version of "Love Is The Hero" by Billy Squire. It will leave You speechless! Find it here on YT - and cry...
What's surprising about some Queen intros is, that they can be very different to rest of the song like Breakthru and It's a Hard Life. Beyond your choice I also like these vocal intros by Queen ...
Princes of the Universe (A Kind of Magic 1986)
I Want it All (only Single- / GH II-version)
Breakthru (The Miracle 1989)
If you bend the rules a bit, there would be ...
It's a Hard Life (The Works 1984)
Somebody to Love (A Day at the Races 1976)
I’m not psychic but I promise you all that as soon as he said can you guess what they are I though of that Bon Scott intro.
Nice!
Smooth UP in Ya - Bullet Boys
Cum on Feel the Noize - Slade (or all Slade songz)
Bullet with Butterfly Wings - Smashing Pumpkins
Fire - Arthur Brown
She Stopped Loving her Today - George Jones
seems more in country and crooner than rock
Anyway you Want it - Journey
dang, it is pretty rare
to be with you - mr big
Love me- Elvis is the best vocal intro i can think of
Oh Justin, legit comedic tears from your “drum tutorial”. Sign me up 😂
It's fun to watch Justin enjoying the songs the same way we do, but then adding some insightful analysis on top.
I think my favourite Queen vocal intro has to be Breakthru!
Queen is definitely worth a deep dive! All of the albums are amazing, just like The Darkness! :)
What is it with Freddies falsetto. His grit and power with a heavenly softness is just incredible. Hard to argue against him being the greatest front man of all time.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@Deco Electra Ooh Diamond Dave is a great pick. It always frustrates me that Bruce Dickinson doesn't get the automatic call for top 3 he definitely deserves.
Then again Sebastian Bach...
Got to be honest, I wasn't a big fan of the darkness, didn't dislike them but didn't choose to listen, but I do really like your channel on here. Your music theory and knowledge coupled with a very well trained ear seem second to none as far as I can tell. As long as you keep posting videos I'll keep watching. Oh yeah, your voice ain't too shabby either! 😉
You think Justin Hawkins' knowledge of music theory is second to none? Or even approaches that kind of superlative? I hope this is just typical internet hyperbole.
@Vapey McVape I was being polite. If I was being honest I'd have said "your music theory and knowledge is a lot better than I thought it was but you clearly have a well trained ear. Oh, and I really didn't like the Darkness because I never got into the falsetto singing with the 80's throwback music which is a poor parody of hair metal!!!"
Now I've said it I feel like a troll, which I'm not, and now i feel like an arse hole! 😆 But I do enjoy watching the channel to be fair
@@comicalboxer8032 I fell into this channel too, I never got into the darkness either not what I'm into but I know they're really good at what they do .... I absolutely love these videos dude is such a character
Queen and Kansas toured together and found they had similar visions for music. They remained great friends and influenced each other a bit! ❤️
Greatest vocal intro of all time: "One by one the kingdoms fall. They looked upon this isle and took it all. Harbingers of pain. Edmund the Martyr cut down by a Dane, on the orders of Ivar the Boneless..... Barbarian"
ABBA- Super Trooper... Elvis Costello- Accidents Will Happen... Blue Swede-Hooked on a Feeling... Talking Heads-Road to Nowhere... Pixies- Hey... these come to mind. enjoyed the video!
Awww…I miss Freddie so much!!!
The Beatles - Nowhere Man
The Who - A Quick One…..
Talking Heads - Road to Nowhere
When you isolate the intro of Crazy Train, it really makes you appreciate how awesome the way Ozzy sings “all aboard” at the start is
my favorite is Paperback Writer
Gayle's grandma never ceases to make me roll with laughter! Thanks Justin!
Humble pie I'm ready from the Filmore album.
That's a vocal intro.
This is the best CZcams channel I've found in ages. I remember you from your hit singles. You're looking better than ever and you're such a thoughtful, funny, insightful person.
dude not sure if you're a supernatural fan but carry on wayward son by Kansas is the shows theme song. kansas was supposed to play for the series finale but covid ruined things.kansas still played in comic con for a surprise for the audience. when i saw the video it gave me chills. they still got it!
I love this man!
You genuinely talk in the same fashion as my group of friends shooting the shit about the music we love and play.
Queen’s ‘The Show Must Go On’ is Freddie’s (and the entire Rock genre’s) best and most emotional vocal performance, in my opinion.
While we’re on Queen…how about ‘Breakthru’?
Of course ‘I Want It All’ should also be on the list, and (even though there’s a barely detectable note of piano in it) I think that ‘It’s A Hard Life’ also deserves a spot. 🙂
The key change in Breakthru is top tier
@@ulfgarthebard8953 I think the whole song is top tier personally…but you’re right - they key change is cool! 🙂
Prime jive
Never appreciated Mustapha until you did a deep dive into Jazz! Such a great song
Jethro Tull - Songs From The Wood deserves a mention.
The first vocal intro that comes to my mind is - caaan an-y-bod-eee find meee somebody toooo loooove
Well, the song actually starts off with a piano, if you listen well… ;)
@@Bosdavid you must have hella good headphones, I can't hear it for the life of me lol
You sir are the best thing on CZcams
Love the videos Justin, you forgot I want it all for a great Queen vocal intro
Great choices! And I thought it was only me that sang guitar parts like that! 😆 Great picture of fabulous Freddie too 👍
I was just rewatching this ep and another great vocal intro tune is, Scraped by Axl Rose from the Chinese Democracy album…that album cops a heap of flack but I think it’s a great album 😎
Great great great songs choices 👏
Also the way you did an entire drumset with your voice is always something that leave me amazed...and dead with laughter 😃 thank you Mr Hawk
I totally knew you were gonna bring up Kicked In The Teeth! Hell yea!! 🤘
keep these playlists coming, its giving me so much to listen to that I have not given enough time too or in some cases have never listened to. Nice one, cheers!
Huge bon scott fan here... lyrics and a unique voice
So,you are the one
I’ve watched many a clip but JH, this made me 😂 the most. Keep up the good work my man 👍
I was legit impressed with you're AC/DC vocal lol. There's so many really great vocal intros, one that has always stuck with me since i was a kid is Twisted sisters "I am I'm me" vocal intro, even though its short, it's just very punchie, and just highlights that one chord before it on the guitar. Edit, i just realised it was on the phone 😅😅🤣 🤦♂️
Dee Snider, the man that saved heavy metal in his jeans, t-shirt and cut off leather waistcoat. Absolute legend!
@@comicalboxer8032
Hell yeah 🤟
The Beatles version of I'm Down is great
Love that "ga, ga, ga, ga, ga, bff, cha!" in Black Dog 👍😂
This playlist is awesome, like each one of your videos, while I ve just come back from seeing We will rock you the musical after 10 years since the first time. True real British life is even more beautiful than how I remembered it, “quietly” restarted in November with your UK tour and now in full swing. And in this precise moment I just feel happy ☺️
I've always loved the Wop Bop A Loo Bop intro from Little Richard's Tutti Frutti.
1:15 was BRILLIANT editing! We’ll done good sir!🤘
Really enjoy your impressions and viewpoints regarding song structures, melodies, chord progressions, etc. Thanks, Justin.
Bon Jovi "getting the chorus over the line" is great insight I would have never thought about (just learning music in my 40's) but makes so much sense for so many bar patios. The youtube algorithms sent me your way and I'm glad it/they did.
Yes - I've Seen All Good People. The Eagles - Seven Bridges Road are a couple that I submit for honorable mention
I knew it!!! Kicked in the teeth! Said it before you even showed the clip...
You missed out "it's a hard life" I don't want my freeeeedom..
I also love John Lennon's holla that starts "Mr Moonlight" from Beatles for Sale.
Princes Of The Universe!
the editing just went a step up!
💃
The Miracle deserves deep analysis.
Great choices on your part….can’t argue them (Yes I’ve Seen All Good People comes to mind as another good one)
That Bon Jovi beginning just smacks you in the face… My Dad has a great story when he was at Uni down London when his mate and Brian May rocked up with the demo tape of B.Rhapsody and they played it for him. My dad being a prog rocker and huge Pink Floyd and Yes fan said it was crap😂 what an arse.
Amazing claim to fame! Mine is far more tenuous... my work colleague's dad met Cat Stevens on a voyage to a Scandinavian country in late 60's/early 70's. They sat and played their guitars together 'til they docked.
Just lol'd at the Gayle reference for Crazy Train. Good shit, man.
Intro to I Want It All by Queen always hits me in the plums!
darkness fan since 2004. bought permission to land at that time and listening it up and down til this day. Unbelievable! Thanks Justin for great music and greater memories attached to it. greetings from Germany 🔥👍
Hey Justin how about a review of the brilliant, overlooked and underated Humble pie..
Steve Marriott had a great powerful soul voice!
It's a hard life by queen is one of my favorite vocal intros... I'm a guess that's on this list without even watching the video... I'd love to hear the darkness cover that song....
YES! I saw Beato’s list and thought Kicked in the Teeth should have been on there. Way to nail it!
Funny enough Justin I always cry listening to You Take My Breath Away it's one of my favourite Queen songs it's so beautiful 🥹🥹🥹
Not a fan of queen (apart from Spread your Wings) or The Darkness. But I do enjoy these videos Justin. Keep up the good work bud
That gayle grandmother joke never gets old. That’s the funniest shit
The moment AC/DC's song hits with you playing it together was so fucking smooth
This one is a gem. 👏👏👏
Yay!
As expected all excellent intros. One of my favorite short and sweet vocal intros is from Lost in Confusion off Graveyard's self titled album. In fact the whole album is amazing. :)
Massively entertaining Justin as always ! 🎸🎸🎸
Why not The Beatles "I'm Down"? Just as intense. After all they wrote it! Then how about "Paperback Writer", "Nowhere Man", "Girl", "Wait", "It Won't Be Long", "If I Fell", "Can't Buy Me Love", "From Me To You", "I Will", "Help", "I Saw Her Standing There", and "Hey Jude" and for covers "Long Tall Sally" and "Mr. Moonlight". You can love Queen, but don't forget The Beatles!!!
The Beatles "Nowhere Man" (and probably many other Beatles songs).
I just yesterday came across this station! I love it!
Road to Nowhere 🎵
Talking Heads rule, would love a Justin video on them
Good list. On my copy of powerage kicked in the teeth starts with a power chord before the vocals come in. It's the old LP with cold hearted man on it though.
And i agree about queen, there's so much going on in nearly every track, there's never been a band that's come near to capturing their sound.
Oh Superman - laurie Anderson
Somebody to Love
One of my favourites is "sweet leaf". Every time someone coughs, we cough, do the riff and scream "alright now!". Simply iconic 🌱
So awesome that you pulled out "I'm Down" by Aerosmith. That album is just solid from start to finish and for some reason that and Permanent Vacation are always discounted out of great songs.
Seven Bridges Road - The Eagles. Utter vocal perfection
Loving the channel Justin, it is so much fun, a little story for you, a good family friend of ours who spoke and acted like Hyacinth Bucket (Patricia Routledge) from the T.V show keeping up appearances, her son was getting married, and of course she had to have the biggest hat at the wedding, at the reception she was strutting round all important like, the darkness song came on I Believe In A Thing Called Love, which I always sing along too, badly, but this time divine inspiration gripped me and I sang "Don't you know I'm the mother of the bride, can you see me in my big hat now!" (I'm sure you'll figure out which part of the song),this caused immediate hilarity, I would like to apologise for bastardising your lyrics, but it still gives me a laugh today, sorry for the lengthy post, but keep up the fun Justin :)
Bon Scott always scares my dog a little when Kicked in the Teeth begins.
Well done my little friend,
Can I just ask,
WHERE THE FOOK WAS,
" WE WILL ROCK YOU "....
THAT HAD TO BE THERE,
YOU LITTLE QUEEN!!!... : O )
Carry On Wayward Son !!!!
Bullet With Butterfly Wings, Tutti Frutti, T.V. Eye
Your Ozzy impression had me spittin out my tea. Lololol! 💙💚
Renegade by Styx.. Tommy Shaw at his best!
Surfin' Bird? Love your beatboxing man! 🤓
I realy love you and all the things that you do in this videos...so at my opinion you've left "anyway you want it" of Journey, it has a very awsome volcal intro!
Eagles doing Seven Bridges Road has to be up there, for me.
Always loved van halen's 5150 opener Good Enough, that "hello baaaby" was a great way for sammy to introduce himself.
The song that sprang immediately to mind was Good Feeling by Reef
OMG United States of Whatever! Awesome choice!
I been to a lot of concerts and the most impressive vocalist I have seen is Mike Patton.
He takes it to a whole new level.
What about MJ saying “You knock me off’a my feet now babe…..woooo!”…..On the way you make me feel
"*My" Wayward Son.
CRYYYYYYYYYYyyy......BABayyy. Just gotta be in there.
