Your favourite opening songs for upcoming shows

[Voodoochild]

Lol I find it hilarious that people say that. That would mean axl admitting anything he's done post illusions wasn't quality Gnr. Everything released in his mind is Gnr. And it's still axls band so in sure it's his call...

Of course everything released in his mind is GNR. I say that because with Slash being back in the band he didn't have anything to do with post illusions GNR. I expect zero post illusions GNR with Slash and rightfully so.

Slash is not the only member in the band. And Duff already agreed on playing CD songs. And the Coachella press release mentions Chinese Democracy. And it's all GNR anyways.

Slash is not the only member BUT him being back with Axl is HUGE! Those 2 were GNR. I'll make any bet they will not play any CD songs with Slash being back. 

[Pedrolg]

It's gotta be Jungle, guys. Orthodox, I know, but it's gotta be.

Lights out, silence.

"You know where the fuck you aaaare?"

Lights on just Slash, intro riff of jungle, crowd goes insane

"You're in the Jungle Baby"

As the riff picks up, lights go on revealing duff and rest of band

"You gonna dieeeee" (Axl storms the stage and shit gets real)

[MrMojoRa]

It's gonna be Jungle. Has to be.

WTTJ
It's So Easy
Mr. Brownstone
Better  (LED BY SLASH!!!!)

I'm more curious to hear what CD songs they play and what Slash brings to them.

[nick6sic6]

...or maybe like that killer opener in the old days...
Start the acoustic you're crazy and in the middle go in the appetite version.That would be killer

[overmatik]

I still think nothing would beat "Pretty Tied Up", even if only for the Coachella gigs. Come on:

"Once there was this rock 'n' roll band rollin' on the streets
Time went by and it became a joke, we just needed more and more fulfilling, uh-huh
Time went by and it all went up in smoke"

Espescially if Izzy is there. Come on! would be so cool! See him lurking about on that one, yeah!

[jamesdm]

Like the most in there there's not doubt Nigtrain or jungle.

Every GNR album was released by GNR, so of course they are quality! Every one.

[Verasa]

Nightrain,jungle, or easy

Pretty Tied  Up would be bad ass though

[Calcy]

If an indoor arena where it can be made pitch black for the intro - WTTJ
If outdoor venue - Nightrain or It's So Easy would do the damage too.

[ice cream sand pig]

if i had to bet id say jungle, but if i was able to choose itd be Madagascar. people thought ax was dead, that he retired, and now that hes given up on cd. it would be the ultimate fuck you to all that noise.

[gcluskey]

Nightrain
Don't Damn Me
Easy
Locomotive
You Could Be Mine
Brownstone
Right Next Door to Hell
Knocking on Heavens Door

[axlvai]

Sorry guys... i have to change my opinion now...

I think the BEST SONG TO OPENING COACHELLA IS

WELCOME TO THE FUCKING JUNGLE


My bad... i was blind.

[D-GenerationX]

Choice #1 : Pretty Tied Up

Choice #1A : Nightrain

Never Gonna Happen Darkhorse : Reckless Life (with "hey fuckers..." intro) **

** could also be the second song

[Lotgrinder]

Gonna be Jungle.

You can dump a $42 overpriced shit beer over my head if it's not.

[LIGuns]

I'm thinking a very similar setlist, minus CD songs that, as recent tours..Lots of AFD, a dash of Lies followed by a sprinkle of UYI with perhaps topped off with a cover or 2...

[kaasupoltin]

I have always liked Nightrain as the opener. WTTJ is good, but I think it's even better later in the show when Axl just suddenly screams the familiar question. The transition from DTJ to Jungle is also pretty nice, shame they didn't use it more.

[TokyoRose]

Sweet Child.  Slash with the riff.

Way too cheesy to be taken seriously.
