If you had to pick one GNR song to play for the average music fan who is so-so on GNR, but has probably only heard the Radio-played hits,
which would you choose, in hopes of " converting " them ?
I've done this with Coma, Estranged, and Don't Damn Me................

Definitely Estranged. That song is so beautiful, and has so much appeal on so many levels...

If I was trying to teach them about old GNR, I'd use Estranged. Now if I was trying to sell them on the new GNR, I'd use TWAT. Ironic how both songs have similar structure

I'd pick Estranged without a doubt.
And I'll add a little bit of WTTJ and Better for the spice

Very true. Old GNR, I'd use Estranged, but if I was to introduce them to new GNR... I think I'd use 'Better'.

Depends what type of music they were into really. For someone into heavier music I'd go along the lines of It's So Easy, or Garden of Eden maybe. For someone who just appreciates music in general I'd go with Estranged.

Yes, it depends on who the person is, but you don't necessarily want to start with their best songs. For example, many of the casual GNR fans I know took a very long time to finally appreciate Estranged.
Good intro songs are PC (catchiest chorus) and Patience (everyone likes a good whistle). When they're close to being converted, then you hit them with Coma, One in a Million, and Estranged. At that point, they'll either run for their lives or be fans for life.

"MY Favorite Pillow"
Seriously, it would depend on the person.
Coma, Estranged, or PC cover almost the full gamut, I think.

Breakdown is such a good song but never got very much airtime
