CD to open album/all future shows???

[oneway23]

Are you talking about a song that hasn't been officially released yet?

The "proselytizing" is getting really stale, stolat.  Things happened, it's over.  You want to wait for the record?  You are truly a god amongst men.  Stop descending upon every thread from your atop your soapbox and reminding people how morally reprehensible they are.

To be honest, I had to look that word up.......Things happened - don't do it again!!!
Am I making you feel uncomfortable?? Try reading what I have said on the thread about the leaks!!!!
In my country we have a saying about the war - lest we forget..........

"Don't mention the war."  Fawlty Towers fans? Huh, Huh?  No? OK, then.......Carry On.....

ooh, MATRON!

Thank you crofty for loving life!

it could be a middle of the album intro its not unlike bands to do that (e.g. iron maiden) but could be a contender for opening gnr shows although i think they will always open with an old song

[hpantazo]

They should start opening with CD, and follow it up with 2-3 more new songs, then go into Jungle. Now that would kick ass!

[estebanf]

Chinese Democracy must open the album and all the live shows. The starting of the shows must be:

01) Exorcist III / Chinese Democracy
[not a second of silence between]
02) Welcome To The Jungle
[not a second of silence between]
03) It's So Easy
04) Better

Then you can die in peace 

Chinese Democracy is a fucking rock bomb. I think it should also be the first single.

[Buddha_Master]

Yup agreed. CD now says "GNR is back and we haven't lost a motherfucking thing you stupid fucking TWAT."

Unless they have another rocker we haven't heard that better says that then CD does. But as it stands...

[AxlsMainMan]

I can definately see Chinese Democracy being the first song on the album, while I think Better would fit in nicely around say the song 3 mark

[GNRreunioneventually]

hmmm i dont know about that yeah it would work and would kick ass but i dont know if Axl would want to change it up

[Tatu]

Yes, definitely. This song should open all the upcomin' shows.

Chinese Democracy really rock, and it's in my opinion, the new Guns N' Roses "Welcome To The Jungle" of the 21st century.

Chinese Democracy is a fucking rock bomb. I think it should also be the first single.

[bazgnr]

Once the album hits, it will be the perfect opener, I agree.  Until then, Jungle it is, and jungle it should be (in my opinion, of course).

I liked the Exorcist III opener but it couldn't be used with Chinese Democracy, unless they drop all of the 'chinese whispers' at the start of the leak we've heard. People get psyched up when the Exorcist II speech comes to a close, they would need to jump straight in with the CD riff in my opinion.

I'd be happy just to see the setlist change a little ~ the one they have used for the last 5 years is getting a little tiresome, although the additions of Better etc did justify me going to the shows again.

[estebanf]

I think GNR should do a very intimate show, like they did at The Plumm the 18th of March in 2006, with a setlist composed only by new songs. If they play ALL the new tracks, plus a pair of unheard songs, and some guitar solos, they can almost make a decently long set.

I  only imagining me at that show

How many times do I have to say it! Goddess! From now on I'm writing all my posts in pink!

[randy marsh]

I posted about a month ago about this same thing.. that I have a feeling they'll change the first song to chinese democracy and the wttj-ise-brownstone thing will be gone, but my post got deleted.. dunno why.. anyway I also think that they won't change it at the concerts played in countries the didn't go to last year.. but when/if they come back to europe then I think it could happen 

[russtcb]

After hearing the intro to Chinese Democracy, is there any doubt NOW that this song will not only open the album, but will most likely be there show's opener for a long time to come? Sure, we haven't heard the rest of the album, but I really can't picture CD being placed anywhere else on an album other than the opening track. I really can't get enough of the song (feels like 'Oh, My God' meets 'Speak to Me/Breathe' off of Dark Side of the Moon) and keep invisioning how it would go down at a concert.

Anyone agree? Disagree?

The first time I heard this new intro was last May at Hammerstein, but the idea you're talking about didn't really hit me until I saw them do it again here in Detroit last November.

I don't think they'll change the first song of the shows until the album comes out, but I certainly think so afterwards.

[patcooper]

Not only should it open the album and being the opening song for the tour. It should should open the VMA's live from vegas this year.

I know that there's a VMA thread every single year, but this is a really good idea.

[Krispy Kreme]

Fucking awesome, I agree, CD has to open.

[crazycheryl]

I just heard 4 leaked tracks that sounded f***** awesome! I wonder if they are final versions because they sounded so good and were posted by a major radio station. Sorry I can't give out more according to board rules. But after hearing CD, I agree! It should open all shows and it would be a great idea for VMA.

After hearing those songs, I am so psyched! I want the CD now! I want to play it over and over again! But, this makes me think it won't be long and the disc will actually drop this year! I heard Blues, Chinese Democracy, IRS, and There Was a Time. CD and Blues my favorite so far but There was a Time was decent too. IRS is a good rocker but it's ok.

I agree, except replace Blues with IRS. I can take or leave The Blues and Catcher in the Rye (my least favorite of the new songs). But I love the others. TWAT is one of the best songs I've heard in years ? one of my favorite songs of all time. Awesome lyrical content, awesome song. So is CD and IRS!

Long live GNR!

I love this song, and hope it eventually gets moved into the opener. I just think this song has that potential.
