I guess no one is saying that "The Dance of Eternity" by Dream Theater is throwing them off because it's not the intro of that song that throws you off, it's the entire song that throws you off.

Led Zeppelin's "Rock and Roll" intro has a 3/8 pickup (starting on the & of 3). Bonham was probably inspired by Charles Connor's drum intro to Little Richard's "Keep A Knocking", which has a similar feel but with different accents. However, Jason Bonham related (in interview) how his father taught him the intro: to think of it like Chuck Berry's guitar intro to "Run Rudolph Run".

Oh Porcupine Tree! Yes! I play Shallow on guitar! The first note isn’t a slide really, or I don’t think of it that way. It’s an accented note and then you are immediately sliding down into the second note, sort of thing. Love your content sir!

Some of my favourite rhythmically ambiguous intros/tunes: 1. Disko - Komeda (the drums make the guitar shift from the down-beat of a swing groove, to dotted crotchets over a rock groove) 2. Glass - Total Control 3. Charmer - Kings of Leon 4. Kate - Ben Folds 5. Between Us and Them - Moving Units 6. Voice of Chunk - Lounge Lizards (the drums entering actually obscure the pulse in this one)

Hi Yogev, great video as usual :) Talking about "Rock 'n' roll" intro, yeah, it's on the & of 3. To hear it, try to sing along the drums the iconic guitar intro of Chuck Berry's Johnny Be goode, and the guitar break of the same song as well, in the instrumental part after the second chorus. It's all about that, a sort of drum transposition of that riff. Bonham was a huge fan of Chuck Berry and this drum intro is a sort of his personal tribute to the father of (needless to say) Rock 'n' roll. Greetings from Italy :)

My favorite is "Mile Zero" by Periphery. I believe the riff comes in on an upbeat that sounds like a downbeat. Later during the solo, it plays the riff the way you THINK it goes at first (on the downbeat), which is pretty amazing! The riff sounds so cool both ways. A close second from the same album is "Froggin' Bullfish." Sounds like 4/4, but it's actually 12/8 (or triplets in 4/4??)

Pamela by Toto is one that has kinda tricked me all these years. It's ingrained in my ears to hear the keys as upbeats and not downbeats. What's always threw me off is the rim shots Jeff plays, always heard those as 2 and 4. I had to put some serious time into relearning it when I played it once. Of course the pickup snare is genious.

Fortunately for Crimes the very first note played is beat 1 (it's reinforced with all the crashes, other instrument entering, and the hi hat later), but it's a weird rhythm with the vocals (the counting) pulling you in another direction so I can see why it's confusing.

I had to go and listener to this again. I think, maybe, it's the grouping? The first phrase is 7, then it repeats those 7 beats plus some, so you think it's started again but actually, now you're behind. Fucking great album. Reminds me of being 18 and driving a shitty Mazda in a tropical climate with holes rusted right through it and no air conditioning. My brother bought me a car stereo which was for superior to the car itself and this album burried it's way into my heart like a parasite. And what the hell is that guitar tone when the package drops? Needs to be listened to a few times a year regardless. Actually, ticks and leeches is 7 too.

A few examples off the top of my head: 3's and 7's - QotSA (Offbeat cymbal accents in the intro and no kick on the first beat of the verse; I find it hard to hear the correct beat until the vocals accent it.) Bugg'n - TNGHT (This is kind of the opposite; the intro's fine, but when the drums come in, there's no kick on the one, and the and of one is accented so hard by the kick and sub that it completely shifts my perception of the beat.) Give It To Me - Timbaland (The pickup of four 16th notes sounds like it's on the four, but it's actually on the and of two, then the first verse's melody accents the offbeats throughout, and then the beat cuts out in a really weird place that reinforces feeling the and of three as the downbeat, before the chorus comes in and reveals where the one actually is for the rest of the song.)

Frankly, I despise musicians that try to do this trick. It is supposed to have an effect of relieve when you finally get it right, - but it never happens, leaving just growing frustration. The only good example that I can think of is "Highway to hell", yes, you can get it right at some point, it is very straightforward, seemingly unsophisticated, but once you know it it causes an instant recognition when you hear it. Ta-da-daaah! Ta-da-daah! I can totally relate to this. Everything else is not only pretentious, - it is in fact highly unprofessional, musicians are supposed to create music, not some unrecognizable sequence of random notes. In fact, I have some kind of light musical dyslexia, when I am tired I am starting to loose the track of very simple 4/4 songs, I no longer can perceive where is the 1 and where is the 4, leaving me in a total confusion, songs that I know for years turn into weird noise with no rhythm, harmony or melody, they turn into something like a choir of birds. An these assholes are pushing this confusing crap on us with their detached intros. I am spitting into their studio headphones!

Rock N' Roll intro starts on the "and" of 3! Another great one is The Police, Spirits in the Material World. The illusion lasts until the first chorus.

For me, until I listened to it with sheets in front of me, The prodigy's - Invaders must die always threw me off. The opening Bassline seems to start on the one, but as soon as the other instruments kick in, it starts with an upbeat. I was always wondering if I'm being tricked into hearing a different rhythm or if it's just an upbeat shifted and actually the same Bassline. Give it a go for yourself and find out. Go without sheet for a start and make your own decision before looking at the sheets. It's weird first, but incredibly tension building. Until the heavy drumbeat kicks in, which gets much more satisfying than without the intro.

The way I think about the Rock N Roll intro is thinking about the Johnny Be Goode guitar intro, it's the same concept applied to a similar context (introducing a rock song with an isolated instrument, thing that makes it harder to know where the downbeat is). The same thing happens in AC/DC's classic Highway to Hell, where the guitar starts playing in the "and" of beat 3, but many times people count 4 and then start playing the riff (which destroys me completely hahahaha)

Ocean by IQ is definitely my biggest nemesis when it comes to this. It takes a while for the drums to come in, but once they do, I am ALWAYS thrown for a complete loop in a song that's otherwise pretty simple by prog standards.

Fun to hear someone that amazing as you struggle with things that seemed intuitive to me on a first listen. Good example on how everyone has difficulties with completely different things I guess. An example of something that I kind of never got until I saw the sheet music, was the intro of pinzin kinzin of avishai cohen until the drums come in. I guessed there must be some crazy odd meter, but as always its just 4/4 and the right hand of the piano is actually just the main beats :D Another thing was the drum fill to no na madeira from djavan. I had to listen to it 10 times until I understood where it starts and how they get into the groove...
