andrew032302 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) I wanted to see what the general opinion on this is. My picks are Nightrain, Perfect Crime, and Chinese Democracy. EDIT: To find all the songs, I just went in the statistics part of setlist.fm and went through and picked all the opening songs, since Appetite came out, give or take one or two. Edited January 28, 2018 by andrew032302 I didn't provide some info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Get In the Ring Motherfker Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Nightrain for sure. Just hearing the train whistle then the cowbell and the guitars kick in for the intro lick and there you have a nice eargasm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonah Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Nighttrain will always be best but I did enjoy the tease of jungle with the lights down. Thought this was a good way to start the show or an encore. It doesn't add to the show to have a 90 second tease for the 4th song of the night 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dally Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Jungle, no dubt the best show opener. The lights out and the teasing notes before they kick of the song is just perfect 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swedish Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Perfect Crime! Starting the show with a kick in the face is always a good thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlRoseCDII Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I’m aware I’m in the minority on this but I love Chinese as an opener. It builds up so nicely with the calm intro and then bam, the sharp riffs kicks into the crowd. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PirateRadio Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Was just listening to Lies You’re Crazy and thinking this would be a cool way to open a show these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-W.A.R- Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) WTTJ. The way it builds up and the scream is just an epic way to start the show. Edited January 28, 2018 by -W.A.R- 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGeneral Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 In a perfect setlist for me the first song is either Jungle or Chinese. I think It's So Easy is the PERFECT second song for a show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNRmello77 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 There are multiple great opening songs like Nightrain, Perfect Crime, CD but nothing beats hearing the opening Riff of Jungle and the opening scream just like Rio 2001 and the WTTJ of RAR 2006, to name some standout examples. Nothing gets your blood more pumping as a show opener than Jungle! The excitement of the croud and all just wow! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janrichmond Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I think It's So Easy is a great opener, it's a good high energy song and i guess i'm used to it as the first song. Nightrain is one of my favourite songs but i prefer it later in the set. PTU would be my 2nd choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnfnrs1972 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 If they played Appetite for Destruction in the same order as the album and went home after it would be one of the best short concerts out there today! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homefuck Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 When did gnr open with "out ta get me"? It got my vote anyway because it sounds cool in my head with the opening riff after Mcbobs introduction. Mr brownstone fits right in as a follower, just like on the album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's a good question. If memory serves me correctly, they only played coma like 2-3 times during the UYI-tour and didn't pick it up again until NITL, where every show (so far) has begun with ISE? 1 minute ago, andrew032302 said: They opened with it at the first Tokyo Dome show Oh, cool!

Original Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I voted Jungle. Although NT (if the intro is done right) would be my 1A vote. On a side note- I’m ready for a different final song to replace PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they ever finish with a different song than PC it would only be okay for me if they didn't play PC at all. That would feel weird...Sweet Child would be an okay final song. But only if PC isn't played. That would completely throw me off in the same way that idk if they opened the show with Madagascar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
