Should Axl start this tour off by singing WTTJ or CHINESE DEMOCRACY?

[younggunner]

I think it would be cool if they mix it up and alternate between the two

[chineseblues]

I would love for them to open with Chi Dem. The opening chords to that song make just as good of an opener as Jungle.

[PolarBearWitchHead]

it's so easy, brownstone, reckless life, and you could b mine would all be great opening songs sometimes too

[Limulus]

a rocker as opener, no matter which one. changing the openers brings back the unexpected "dangerous" part a little.

[patcooper]

it'll be the same setlist as 2001-2006-2007.

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.

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.

Exactly! But the opening rift of CHINESE DEMOCRACY is also powerful.

[estebanf]

As much as I love the WTTJ > ISE kickoff, I think GNR should start their concerts with the same 3 tracks, in order, from Chinese Democracy

1) Chinese Democracy
2) Shackler's Revenge
3) Better
and THEN
4) Jungle

some ambulances will be needed after such an outstanding start, but it will be worth 

[GNR4L]

WTTJ

[CheapJon]

it'll be the same setlist as 2001-2006-2007.

alrighty mister future man

[burden]

I think Riad and the Bedoins would be the best opener.

Imagine it being dark and then you here the opening effects and then it explodes into OOOOOOO OOOOOO OOOOOO, OOOOOO OOOOOO O O O,


I've seen CD live many times now and its just not that powerful live. 

[GnR-NOW]

Nothing kicks a show off like WTTJ, but CD would be cool

just an image explains it better than a thousand words:

I think it would be cool to rotate openers

Didn't they use to open with Nightrain?


I would probably expect sort of the same set list as past tours only some of Appetite taking out to put in new songs.

[14 Yrs Of Silence]

I'd like to hear CD followed by WTTJ, Nightrain and then a string of 4 songs from CD including Better, TWAT, The Blues and Sorry.

[bigcash2002]

WTTJ

[AdZ]

I think opening with Chinese with the awesome video intro and then straight into Axl inteoducig Jungle would be a straight two punch knockout...

[kmorgan]

I'm all for WTTJ.  It's just too perfect as an opener.

[Classic Case]

Chinese Democracy !

[D]

I think they should put Jungle as the opener for the encore and then a new song then PC


Open with CD: full video, the intro all that.

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

Change it up!

Cool video's followed by the appropriate pyrotechnic blasts.

CD would be a killer opener. 

Scraped would be awesome as well.  Picture the video/creepy music intro or whatever, and there is a big fireball and the band bursts into the song.

Or having the video intro segue into Riad.

The possibilities are endless.
