Best Smiths/ Moz opening riff ?

[gasmeter]

Have just purchased one of those new mobile thingys that all the young yins have these days And are looking for a decent ringtone. Any suggestions ? '

Bigmouth strikes again' is looking favourite at the moment. I also quite like the intro to 'The youngest was the most loved ' 'The queen is dead ' , 'Rusholme ruffians' ach there is too many to choose . Help !

 

[sore_lips]

my phone rings with Handsome Devil..

but i always thought You Have Killed Me and The more You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get have great opening riffs..

 

[Amy]

I like "Girl Afraid" and "Headmaster Ritual"

 

[Kyoko]

The Draize Train makes for a good ring tone.

Kyoko

 

[Not Right in the Head]

"This Charming Man" or "Rubber Ring."

 

[meat_is_murder19]

The opening bass line to rusholme ruffians

 

[almareallymatters]

I have This Charming Man as my ringtone....and I look forward to my phone ringing far more than I used to.... it goes to voice mail after Moz sings the first line of the song though...which is probably just as well or I would probably never answer it!

 

[nobody's hero]

How soon is now, of course

 

[Uncleskinny]

For me, without a shadow of a doubt, it's The Headmaster Ritual. Johnny's finest opening.

[starless]

Definitely Still Ill after the drum part.

 

[Vauxhall95]

I have the chorus portion of "Our Frank" for my ringtone. I held off buying a cell phone for ages and consider them a leash. So, the ringtone is sort of an inside joke only I get.

 

[Happy Maudlin]

I love the opening to How soon is now?, Girl Afraid, and Your gonna need someone by your side. also handsome devil

 

[Julzei]

The boy with the thorn in his side.

 

[FlickanMedTörnen]

Headmaster ritual, still ill, what diffeence does it make?.. I use headmaster as ring tone.

 

[TuQui]

The Headmaster Ritual

 

[bikubesong]

Satisfaction

 

[Bassist-In-A-Tutu]

Has to be Heaven knows...... no?


Maybe I'm biased.... biased bassist, hehe

 

[speedfreaks ball]

dont use ringtones- but if i did choose an opening riff it would be "satan rejected my soul".

 

[thewarroom]

You're Gonna Need Someone on Your Side

Although, realistically, I'd answer my phone quicker if my ringer was a song that I hated...

Old Skool Morrissey: Suedehead (Marr must have fallen off his chair when he heard this riff in a MOZ solo record and I'm sure Morrissey was very happy about that )
