The best opening song for a GN'R concert since 2001

[Sosso]

Titles already describes it. 

I have voted for WTTJ.

it's a tie! i was thinking WTTJ but i gotta go with the one they did at the concert i went to

[AlexC]

They also opened with You're Crazy at least once in 2012 and You Could Be Mine in 2014 once with Duff.

[Silent Jay]

Chinese.

[Mendez]

WTTJ just because of Rock am Ring 2006

[Gordon Comstock]

Welcome To The Jungle.

 

It could be YCBM, if that weren't always one of Axl's weakest songs. It's So Easy is cool but there's several songs I'd pick over it. Chinese was a good opener the first few times I saw them.

[marlingrl03]

ISE....that song pumps me up for what is to come. And plus I love that song... so for me it's a rockin opener! 

[WhazUp]

Jungle, because c'mon  how can you beat having an intro welcoming you to the fucking jungle lol.  It's So Easy was great too though, I love how the bass and the drum rolls bring the madness in from bar 1

[default_]

They should open with RNDTH.

[J Dog]

Jungle just because it's like the perfect opener. It's So Easy a close 2nd. When that started, and Axl busted out with that-I see your sister in her Sunday dress-the place where I was at blew the fuck up.

i was in shock when i saw them in Vegas! i don't think i gained control of my senses til Chinese Democracy. then Coma came on and i swear i saw GUYS misting up over that! when i heard them go into Layla i started crying cos of all the songs it was THAT song which is one of my all time faves ( and this is all  DL from my friend's phone, he keeps threatening to post it . ) and then Nightrain where we all were singing along...it was more than i ever dreamed it could be

There will never be a better opener than Jungle, it's as simple as that.

That girl grabbing her head and screaming describes us all

WTJ to this day...there is just no song like it. And the song seemed to define GNR. WTTJ

[xBrownstonex]

I like it better when the real opening of the conerts (meaning jungle) comes later at the show. Like the third or fourth song. Then youre already pumped about the start and then you get the introduction to the jungle. Thats a great built up

[IncitingChaos]

this is my favorite jungle from this current tour...they just brought the energy here. Axl even climbed to the top of the ramp stairs.

Mine too..  That was the first time I really noticed the extended breakdown after the solo. Axl just owns that situation and builds the energy up before fucking exploding.. Awesome.

 

I picked It's So Easy.. Since that is the only song a version of the band I can actually call Guns N' Roses since 2001 has opened with..

[Słash]

WTTJ is the best opener

Slash has also opened the show with Ghost, its a great song.
