If you could convert someone to GNR..................

[COMAMOTIVE]

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................

[Axl_owns_dexter]

I'd go with "Better"   

[gnr_12]

id go with something like.. nighttrain, estranged or something along those lines..

[w.axl.rose]

yeah id go with nightrain, and if they wanna hear something new then id go with better 

[supaplex]

i think i would chose something from appetite like nightrain, anything goes, rocket queen

[journey]

I.R.S.
Better
14 Years
You Ain't The First
Breakdown
Used To Love Her
Think About You

[HungerForChaos]

Either Better or Night train. Maybe Welcome to the jungle.

[Mandy.]

Nightrain, Perfect Crime and Coma

[Kaybee]

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

[TOPGUNner]

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

[NicoRourke]

I'd pick Estranged without a doubt.

And I'll add a little bit of WTTJ and Better for the spice Taste of old & new stuffs

[Kaybee]

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

[Jamie]

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.

[GeorgeSteele]

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.

[BaDoBsEsSiOn418]

Probably My World and Silkworms 

[Back Off Bitch]

Better, Coma, Rocket Queen, Estranged...

[pilferk]

"MY Favorite Pillow" 

Seriously, it would depend on the person.

Coma, Estranged, or PC cover almost the full gamut, I think.

[Alan]

depends on the person, but nightrain is one of the ones i generally use.

[slashisvr]

iv converted 3 girlfriends (at the time) into GnR fans, they buy there albums now, 1 girl was a dirty girl, so i played rocket queen and she loved it!!!1converted, dont cry 2 another, she was converted, and SCOM to the 3rd, another converted

axl should give me a percent of the profits of album sales

[Sparksry]

Id probably go with Breakdown, estranged, Pretty tied up or mr brownstone...

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