Really, just about any couple seconds in that song. I was listening to it last night and it almost made me cry how gorgeous it was.

A weird sequence of squelchy sample burp out in front of Phil Puleo's martial snare, Tod leans into the mic whilst Jack Natz pins down the skewed, circular bassline...."THE EARTH WHICH FED YOU NOW CONSUMES YOU THE EARTH WHICH FED YOU NOW CONSUMES YOU THE EARTH WHICH FED YOU NOW CONSUMES YOU THE. EARTH. WHICH. FED. YOU. NOW. CONSUMES. YOU!

It's a sort've cliched entrance as a guitar player, but at the thirty second mark, after the bass, drums and a hacking, coughing Jaz Coleman have already introduced themselves, Geordie slides his pick down the strings before launching into the riff.

Bother! got my Pave openers mixed up. "Stereo." voila.
I think it is "Silence Kit," though. If we're thinking of the same moment. (Which I love, too.)

Rising like a vexed Valkyrie out of a monsoon of flaming guitars, Freddie Mercury channels the fury of a damned soul...

Urgently strummed guitar ushering in a cavalcade of souped-up, guitar-powered steamrollers.

Thread premise is close enough to what i'm looking for that I won't start a new one.
Like, 'Last Splash' by the Breeders was the first album I bought on CD (out of a fucking *vending machine* at a movie theater). I have all these residual impressions of 'Last Splash' and its production that are probably negated if 'Cannonball' starts on the downbeat of the first verse and I'm only now realizing that what I've generally considered the aura of 'Last Splash' highly concentrated in the initial seconds of 'Cannonball'.
A false start, a very musical mic check- it's a really unclear sequence of gestures without which the Breeders would merely have been a waaaay above average garage band. It's the purest distillation of Last Splash, by extension also Bredders, 90's alt rock.
Other examples?

Maybe not quite what you're thinking of, but it always amuses me how, for a couple of years, it was de rigueur to end your alt-rock song with a blast of atonal guitar feedback. Like it was just impossible for the guitarist to mute the strings at the end of the song, but had to give way to the waves of super-alternative, crushing distortion.
