What song will "GNR" open with now?

[Sillything]

Cow Bell....

NIGHT TRAIN

cowbell? wtf, I think it used to be a whistle

[Sillything]

As long as they don't open with Pretty Tied Up. It's a good song but he far worst opener they ever had

[gnrziggy]

BETTER crowd will love it!

[jimb0]

Cow Bell....

NIGHT TRAIN

cowbell? wtf, I think it used to be a whistle

Whistle X 2

Then

Cowbell X 4

Then

The Ab Chord

[EccoTides]

You Could Be Mine would be a cool opener. I could see it.

And as for a closing song... Rocket Queen. It's the perfect closer on AFD, and I think it'd rock if they ended a show with it.

For these shows, I'd much rather hear quite a bit of new material... so we'll see. I hope they choose their AFD/UYI material selectively, and not overload on old stuff like in '02.

I believe it was HTGTH's "D" who came up with the "Better" intro scenario WHICH I LOVED!!!!

errr no. i did. just kidding. does it really matter?

This is the scenario I was talking about from the "setlist wishes" thread:

I think GNR should open with "Better"

Lights go out the crowd is buzzing all of a sudden u hear
In a loop:
"no one ever told me when i was alone"
"no one ever told me when i was alone"
"no one ever told me when i was alone"


SILENCE

they just thought I knew Better....... Better

ALL OF A SUDDEN HUGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE PYRO

The song kicks in

The hardest part this troubled heart has ever yet been through now.........

You get the "I said it first" award......

 

[TrixAreForKids]

I think GnR' will open with 'Better.' They'll play that cool riff as the intro for about 2 minutes or so, and then Axl will appear and start singing.

hehe, i love that scenerio.

[da_pope]

IRS would be a sick opener.
If they played Catcher in The Rye I think I'd fall asleep.

I think for once they should close with November Rain. That song has a sick outro... Then again whoever plays it will probably destroy it by tapping and/or sweep picking through it. They should play it like Slash and just play the god damn solo how it's suppose to be.

[xxMarcelaxx]

I hope they start with WTTJ!

[mikegiuliana]

I hope they start with WTTJ!

that's what I want... I just hope it's the right guy playing the opening riff

[A Private Eye]

WTTJ or Better for me. Both would get the crowd pumped 

[shotgun_blue]

It has to to be ''better''! Coolest song in ages, and the best start to a concert!

[starz]

I want Better as the opener or any new song. Without slash or duff. NEW GNR ALL THE WAY. this band will be huge.

[bazgnr]

I can just imagine the dark stage, the opening guitar lick of "Better" kicking in, the crowd going nuts as Axl's voice starts with "No one ever told me...," the drums start up, then the lights blast on to reveal GnR on the stage when Axl sings, "The hardest part..."

That would be just fine by me.

[Ulises]

Nah. Welcome To The Jungle is THE OPENER.

I hope that in this coming tour play the "leaks". It will be awesome

[Danny]

I'm guessing either WTTJ or Better at the NYC shows.  IF the album comes out, then Better sounds pretty good as an opener.

I think Reckless Life would be pretty cool and ballsy, though.

[icpillusions]

WTTJ... It should always be the opener.  It seems like the song was particularlly made for opening with.  The second song should be a new song and possibly the 3rd.  The audience will get vintage GnR but will be reminded that this is the NEW GnR.

I'm hoping for Chinese Democracy as an opener.

[GnR-NOW]

id like to see scom as the opener, its a classic and would definetly get the crowd going
