I was just thinking about this while listening to "because you're young" off Bowie's "Scary Monsters".   It has a really great intro that gets me excited every time I listen before I remember that the song isn't all that great.  
 
What other songs can't live up to their promising intros?

This is a really, really good discussion topic.
 
Unfortunately I can't think of anything right now. So if my post was made into song, it would work quite well here.

Slipknot's first single off their newest record, "Psychosocial" has a great intro, and then just sounds like a bad Metallica rehash...

Crazy Train. I love the intro, but after that... blah. It looses all excitement.

^ Seriously? I could not disagree more. Crazy train is full of Randy Rhoad's excitement.

There are many, but its hard to think on one in this moment. 

I will be posting once i remember them.

Most Van Halen songs 

 
The opening of Lamb of God's Wrath album is so epic that it could not be sustained and I wish that weren't the case.

Oh yeah. How about Metallica's "Enter Sandman"?
 
And Dream Theater's "6:00". The opening drums are fantastic. A lot of progressive music has a great intro but falters in the end once all 27 instruments have entered.

Sonic syndicate...latest single, "Revolution baby" great intro, dissapointing song.

Enrique Iglesias's "Tired Of Being Sorry" had a nice intro. It went downhill from there.
