Tiffani Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 It's so Easy is a cool tune to use as the show opener for this tour, but what other songs would really set or change the mood of the show...currently part of the set or not? Not nitpicking, just curious... My choices: My Michelle, Locomotive, Mr. Brownstone, Right Next Door To Hell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albertr212 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 The My Michelle intro is so fucking amazing! The transition is something that I'll never get tired of hearing. Now whenever I listen to it I feel like I'm right back on that rail seeing Slash play it right in front of me with Adler on the drums where he's meant to be. Out Ta Get Me and My Michelle have become my favorites now because of that night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillionsOfSpiders Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Mine would be.. Perfect Crime, Pretty Tied Up, Garden Of Eden or WTTJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cremefraiche Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I think It's So Easy is quite a good pick as a throwback to the old days, as well as being a good warm up song for Axl's voice. But, in a perfect world I'd have to say the best song to open with is Welcome to the Jungle. I mean, come on! Any song called 'Welcome to.." with an intro buildup that great has to be a given. Saw them in open with it in 07, first time in my country in 14 years or something and the place went fucking nuts, still gives me goosebumps when I listen to the bootleg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fallglimmer Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 WTTJ first is kind of blowing it too early, I think 4th is a good place for it. It keeps the energy going. I'd like to see Out Ta Get Me as an opener. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garden of Eden would make an amazing opener for sure, just tear the roof off from the first song. I wonder if Axl would consider starting a 2+ hour show with such a ferocious song though. The energy is sky high and the lyrics run like a freight train. I would personally think warming up to that level of vocal energy might be preferred. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he would, or he would just miss out a few words and hope we don't notice Honestly, my number one preference would be Pretty Tied Up, it's got an amazing intro and the vocals are not too demanding, so win win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEPTEM Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Of.course WTTJ is the greatest show opener song ever . but it would be pretty dreamed and badass to do it with RECKLESS LIFE 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see Out Ta Get Me as an opener. I agree, WTTJ is sort of designed as the perfect show opener. But, the crowd is going to go crazy no matter what they play first, so if they can keep WTTJ in their back pocket and use it to keep the momentum going later, I think that makes more sense.

NicDwolfwood Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Jungle, Nightrain, Right Next Door to Hell, Perfect Crime are all alternative opening songs that could work or have been used an opener at some point in the past. With that being said, It's So Easy is a fantastic opener in its own right And I personally Like it to stay as an opener. That opening bassline by Duff signals you're about to have all senses assaulted by Guns N Fucking Roses!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marlingrl03 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I actually really love ISE as an opener. But that's just me! But if I really had to choose another one, it would be OTGM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
