I'm going to go with "the Blues." I love all the new songs, but this is the most digestible. It has "top 40" written all over it. Could be a huge crossover hit. Can picture kids, soccer moms, and old-school fans really digging this.

The Blues will be the second single, after Better, if you go by the rocker, then ballad formula of singles.
Who knows what else they have up their sleeves though?

i'm awful at trying to guess this kind of stuff. but to me, the blues has no chance of being huge. it's a good song, but there's nothing there that really grabs you. also, i've played the songs for 20-30 people over the last few years, and that is the one that always gets the worst reception (along with madagascar).
if they ever release singles and follow the usual routine (AND blues is the ballad), there's no doubt that the rocker will be the bigger hit.
better is the song with the best chance of being a hit, with chinese democracy a very close second.

I think the best out of what we've heard so far is probably Chinese Democracy.

Better is the song. Out of the songs we've heard...Better. It has everything.
There Was a Time, once finished, will blow everybody and everything away.
Younggunner, I'm surprised you didn't mention CITR! If I'm not mistaken, initially you thought it had hit written all over it. If my memory is mistaken, I apologize! I had a lot of vodka on a trip up to Jersey last November.

why was my post taken away?
Only a guess on my part but probably because you're spreading shit rumors you got off other sites.
ON TOPIC:? I'd love for Chinese Democracy to become the first hit off the album.? But it's so fuckin' awesome that ALL the new songs we've heard them do live have the potential to be big hits!!!?

I think it has potential but from a pure commercial standpoint I think Better is the one. Like I said in my previous post which was deleted for god knows what....my friends only listen to rap and when I first played them this song it sparked there interest. Since then they all have it in rotation on there ipods and in there cars. They love every aspect of the song.
Dont get me wrong I love CITR as well as the others but I dont see those songs being huge cross over hits. Better has that appeal imo.
I love the other songs as well. I think there great.

I think the first single may be 'better' and then another song we have yet to hear.

if you put it into perspective, the songs we've heard are pretty damn good to amazing. Between There Was a Time, Better, The Blues, Chinese Democracy and possibly more? I couldn't even imagine how awesome this album could be if the rest of the songs were even on the same level, let alone the possibility of them being even better. Nowadays, albums have 1-3 "hit" songs and the rest are usually weak. Chinese Democracy has astronomical potential.

Though I have no knowledge to back this up, my gut feeling is that no song we've heard will be the first single. ?The only song we've heard that I think may be a single is "Better", the rest I think will be album cuts.

Personally, I'd choose Chinese Democracy but I think Madagascar or Catcher In The Rye are potential hits!

I think they all could. Better would probably have that immediate payoff. But my favorite so far is TWAT, this song has it all ... great lyrics, good rythym, and killer guitar solos. Then The Blues and CITR have a slower pace. And CD and IRS have a rock sound that no other songs today have. But no matter what every Axl hater will say its not AFD so therefore its nothing. Which is just a bullshit excuse.

The best songs are Madagascar and Chinese Democracy (with that killer intro). I hope GN'R won't release The Blues as a single, 'cause that song is fuckin' boring!
Chinese Democracy would be the best choice as first single.
