Songs with a progressing intro
 

Not sure that is the best description but...

The best example i can think of at the moment is Deep Purple - Smoke on the Water.

Starts off with that famous guitar riff, then the next bar the cymbals are added, followed by the snare on the next bar, and then lastly the bass line is dropped in.







Maybe AC/DC's Thunderstruck is another example:





Can you name some more tunes that do this?

Sweet child o' mine? Starts with just the guitar, then the bass, then the drums...

I'm sure loads of songs follow this formula. How about Weird Fishes? Starts with drums and then you get those harmonic guitar lines building up, and another layer of drumming later on.

Yes, that is exactly what I'm looking for.

THANKS!!

Every ****ing post rock song.

Whole Lotta Love. Guitar > Bass > Vocals > Drums

Layered, but not really what I'm talking about. Thanks for posting.
