Game: The Intros Game

[Black Rose]

If there is enough demand, I will post between 10 and 20, 15 second intro clips from various songs for you to guess what intro that song is from. Like a "guess the album from a snippet of the artwork" game.

So anyone interested?

[RICK8]

Yup interested Dave..sounds entertaining..:)

[RICK8]

seems the creator of the thread has lost interest..hilarious!!

:laugh4:

[Black Rose]

I had an early night last night ;)

I will throw together some intros at the weekend for people to try and guess what songs they are.

[Black Rose]

I have picked the 20 songs, a mix of blatant easy ones with a few toughies.

I shall upload them later :)

[Black Rose]

Your job is to try and decode what the hell the songs are, some are easy, some are hard. No prize, and you can try and guess in the thread.

Good luck :)

[Byron369]

Track 20: The Blue Flashing Light *Travis :D

That's what I recognised at once.

[Black Rose]

Damn and that was one of my toughies.

[Byron369]

:P
That's one of my favourite Travis songs

[Black Rose]

I see no-one else has guessed at the remaining 19 songs.

[Byron369]

Sorry...I don't have time...I've only checked a few so far and the 20th was the most obvious one

[Black Rose]

Some people are lazy, not to even have a guess.

[Byron369]

I suck at this game :P

I've tried to figure out those other intros...but nothing.

[Black Rose]

I should have put a Dido song in there ;)

Anybody else going to at least have a guess?

On another forum, they have got 15 of the 20 correct.

[MrMagpie]

2 - Radiohead - Kid A
7 - Money - Pink Floyd
8 - Talk - Coldplay ....some remix
12 - Munich - Editors

Track 4 is on the tip of my tongue

[Black Rose]

You got tracks 2, 7 & 12 right.

Track 8 isn't a remix of Coldplay's Talk;)

[Byron369]

On another forum, they have got 15 of the 20 correct.

Wooow...they're good.

[Black Rose]

You got tracks 2, 7 & 12 right.

Track 8 isn't a remix of Coldplay's Talk;)

[Byron369]

So we've got 4 so far...

16 to go :dance:

[Black Rose]

You have til Friday night to guess all 20.

I will give little hints for the remaining songs on Thursday evening.

[Byron369]

:shifty:

That's so unfair.

:dance:

Meh, I'm already proud of myself.
*funny*

[MrMagpie]

Oh haha 8 must be Kraftwerk. I've never heard the song before but I know Talk was inspired by Computer Love or something like that.

[Black Rose]

I shall give you Kraftwerk - Computer Love as number 8

They have released 2 EPs, then Barefoot Dancing which was vinyl only and didn't count as a proper single, then Forever as a proper single. Now they are working on album 2.

[Black Rose]

You got number 6 correct Ian.

But Track 11 isn't Boston's More Than a Feeling.

I will show the remaining answers tonight around 8 to round this off.

[busybeeburns]

hmm, I was thinking of the song Nirvana ripped off as Smells Like Teen Spirit

6 is all I can add in that case :confused:

[Texasluvsjonny]
