One of my favorite things about all the GNR concerts I have seen since 2001 is the very beginning. It's late, after MN. There is a small part of you that wonders if he is really going to show up. You start to wonder, Is there going to be a riot, and Am I going to die? Then you hear the first strains of music and Uncle Axl belts out, " DO YOU KNOW WHERE THE F*** YOU ARE?" and all is right with the world. Should he continue starting with WTTJ or should he start with CHINESE DEMOCRACY to usher in a new era. I am undecided at this time.

As much as I love Chinese Democracy, I also love tradition. Gotta stick with Jungle. I did think CD was the perfect first encore though.

Well I've never thought i was going to die at a gnr concert maybe wondered if they were gonna show but never feared for my life. But i'd rather him open up different everynight. that's what was cool about past tours uyl was a different setup everynight. I don't like planned setlists.

That's because you are not a tiny blonde. Don't get me wrong, it's part of the thrill.  |

altho I'd love to hear cd opening the show, I'd rather see the band decide between the two according to the mood.

Since the moment I heard the new CD intro on the first night at Hammerstein I've thought it should be the show opener.

i remember at wembley 91 they opened with perfect crime and played jungle 4th........ i think jungle is now the trademark Guns opener and it should stay that way.... the tension in the crowd when everyone is waiting and then the first few chords blast through the amps and the whole crowd erupts  im open to change and try something different but i dont think it would be same.......maybe they can try democracy out this year and then decide  |

I agree, they're both good songs to start the show. Some changes in the setlist during the tour sure wouldn't hurt. |

I really wish they'd start with ChiDem but I somehow highly doubt they will...

Riad!! But if it's betwen WTTJ and CD, I think WTTJ would be the better opener. Though CD is a cool song and would make a good opener but I think it would sound fine in the middle of the setlist. Or as a first encore as has been mentioned. |

Why would they have to start the same way every night? I think you could alternate the two throughout the tour.

Then you hear the first strains of music and Uncle Axl belts out, " DO YOU KNOW WHERE THE F*** YOU ARE?" and all is right with the world.
This is exactly...exactly what is cool about opening with WTTJ. I remember in 2006, waiting...waiting...waiting. Doubt starts to creep into my mind, then the lights go down and the Exorcist theme is playing...those spotlights are shooting around the arena then those first few notes teased me for what felt like 15 years, I heard Axl belt out the "DO YOU KNOW WHERE THE FUCK YOU ARE?!!!!" My adrenaline started pumping so hard, I really thought I was going to pass out...really. I can't think of many moments that were better than that for me. Democracy is a cool song, but the way they work with jungle, I think it's gotta stay the opener. |

I would like them to alternate between the two...I'd appreciate the unpredictablility of not knowing which one they'd start with. Of course whichever one they decide NOT to start with they can always do at the beginning of the encore. Kind of the best of both worlds I suppose.  |
