i dont think Jungle should be the opener anymore....i mean, its perfect, but its too played out. its becoming cliche...

id save it for the encore!!!!!! i think that would be cool, make people wait for jungle...


open with chinese democracy, better, or nightrain.

encore 1: Jungle

encore 2: Paradise

Better would make a good opener.
I wouldn't change Jungle with anything else.

Well each to his or her own, of course, but at this point I can't imagine a better (no pun intended!) opener than Jungle.  As the intro died away and the band walked out onto a darkened stage, the tension would be palpable.  Then, the moment that Robin teased out a few notes of what must be one of the most instantly recognisable riffs in the history of rock 'n' roll, it triggered the release of a tidal wave of emotion that swept through the arena and heralded the start of yet another roller coaster GNR experience for all those lucky enough to be there....

...And to think that you lucky Americans are poised on the brink of all this....I am so jealous!

i agree with you, it is perfect.....but, maybe its time for something new??


jungle is THE perfect opener, but saving it for later, only adds to the build-up of excitement. CD or Better would be great as an opener, although Better is kinda hard to sing live, just one of those songs that doesn't work too too well in a live setting.

shit, open with Right Next Door to Hell like Indiana 1991, who cares....just change it up. lol

The intro of Jungle after standing by for GNR gives the audience a massive thrill of ecstacy and a rush of energy, which IMO everyone better experience for once, at least.

I'm waiting for the moment Chinese Democracy opens the show.
the show will go down in music history. smoking

Again, I'm sorry, but I have to disagree.  Better is my favourite new song and I've only heard it live - didn't download it.   At this stage, I feel it to be the defining song of this new GNR and believe that its anthemic qualities will secure its place on the setlists of the future.  It was definitely one of the highlights of the tour for me and a song that I always eagerly anticipated at each show.

CD will make for an awesome opener, WTTJ is definitely the all time opener, but it wouldnt hurt to try something new atleast for a couple of shows

i agree cheap.


i think better sounds great live, but compared to every other song, its just hard to pull off. for whatever reason, and ive played hundreds of live shows, for whatever reason....some songs just dont work as well as others....but, if they opened with better, it would rock just as hard....its axl and gnr afterall!! lol

as long as robin doesn't flub the intro to better, its all good. sorry.

Opening with Chinese Democracy would be awesome, especially because of the guitar in the beginning. It would make a great opener.

The drum roll at the start of It's so Easy would make for a good opener  beer

Welcome to the Jungle has aged. When GTA San Andreas came out last year and the television advert was playing the opening sound to Welcome to the Jungle, it really gave the song an 80's feel to it.

Better would not make for a good choice of song to open a gig with. Better starts with a weird intro sound and takes a while for the song to get fully going. Just my take on it  peace

Jungle is THE perfect opener and should never ever be changed! There are other songs which would be GOOD openers, but... Jungle is just... legendary. It sends shivers down your spine and sends the crowd into an instant frenzy! No show would be the same without Jungle as the opener!

I would change it. Otherwise, it is nearly the same show that it has been since they started the 2002 tour. There were plenty of other openers that worked well in earlier days - no reason why that couldn't work for this version of the band as well.

Didn't a member (Chris?) also say he was looking forward to the day they open with CD, in france?

Exactly, after the NY shows I was thinking that as well. The extended guitar part of the live version is very similar, in concept not sound, to the prolonged intro to WTTJ. I believe we will see some shows opened with CD soon.

The song live has somewhat of a karaoke feel to it, at the "You know I know better..." part... Axl just can't nail that part, but everything else is perfect, but that part... It just ruins it for me...

You mean the GTA game where Welcome to the Jungle was being played on a 90's rock radio station with STP and Rage Against The Machine?  Tongue


Yeah, they could stand to change Jungle being the opener... the setlist gives the band an opporunity to be creative, I wish they would have fun with it.   ok
