Music played before GN'R hits the stage

[jarmo]

In between guessing the release date and reading updates from the shows, I thought we could have something less serious to do.

What songs are they playing before GN'R hits the stage?

I recognized several of the songs and I think it's an interesting mix of artists/songs.


If you recognized a track, please list it here.



The ones I remember right now are:

Queens Of The Stone Age "Feel Good Hit Of The Summer"
The Hives "I Hate to Say I Told You So"
The Subways "Rock & Roll Queen"
The Sex Pistols "Holidays In The Sun"

In St-John they also played Tired of waiting by The Trews.  I remember noticing that one while we were waiting.

The Back In Black album in its entirety... lots of Metallica (For Whom the Bell Tolls and Battery come to mind)

[A Private Eye]

Are these songs prior to the shows usually picked by the performing artists (in this case GNR) or is it just up to the venue what songs play?

[tHeElEcTrIcSiNtAr]

Iggy Pop - Search and Destroy
Buckcherry - Crazy Bitch

Those are really the only ones I can remember with a title, but I know they played a couple of Zeppelin songs, a couple AC/DC songs, and a Rage Against The Machine song.

[jarmo]

Since they play a lot of the same songs at each show, I assume they're picked by somebody in or around the band.

Yeah I remember hearing some Buckcherry. ?There was some Aerosmith played too.

I don't remember exactly what songs they played in Toronto, but I remember they had like 10-15 songs are just repeated them over and over again.  It got really annoying.

  wolfmother - woman
...and as sad as it is, that's all i can remember 

[slash666]

at the Newcastle show i can remember them playing a song by The Babyshambles, the only reason i remember that is because i wanted to hang myself!

oh they also played Back In Black-AC/DC & Walk Idiot Walk- The Hives

[BaDoBsEsSiOn418]

I think I heard "Tie Your Mother Down" by Queen in Toronto

[TAP]

I seem to remember a lot of Back in Black from MSG, but I was a little drunk Not sure how this thread is different from talking about what the opening bands play, which we aren't allowed to do are we?

I remember Walk Idiot Walk at Manchester now you've said it. 

[bazgnr]

I seem to remember some Weezer and Tool from the first Hammerstein show in NYC...some Beastie Boys, too, if I'm not mistaken.

[sic.]

In Helsinki (July 5th), they played David Bowie's Scary Monsters.

Think about it for a while. I'm sure it'll make sense.

#1 This isn't an show update thread.
#2 The songs are played at a GN'R show. Not by an opening act at an GN'R headlining gig.

Wow, there's a difference.
