What is the best GNR opening song?

[RONIN]

 Perfect Crime. But only if Axl can manage to do the insane coke-fueled performance he did in Indiana '91.

Got to be one of the top 10 performance moments haha

Even the fact that his voice was shot to fuck and scratchy as hell somehow adds to it

ONE TWO THREE FOUR FIVE SIX SEVEN EIGHT !

Although I enjoyed its so easy for NITL ,I would love to see  Jungle or right next door to hell for an opener that would really get the place pumped . pretty tied up would be perfect for an encore openener, it’s so easy would be great 2nd or 3rd and I like nightrain and out to get me where they are in NITL setlist

I wish they’d stop closing with paradise city.

although it suits really well I’d like to see them mix it up and make it the closer pre encore, then finish with something else

the only time paradise city has been good since illusions was in vancouver 2017 from the first minute or so - they should ditch their overplayed anthems like sweet child paradise city and replace them with deep cuts - they can't pull of those songs even remotely close

Axl hasn’t been able to sing sweet child properly since like 1989

agreed - i remember in 92 paris it's just not tolerable - he did it justice at ritz - they really should scrap it - only reason why it's played is to cater to chicks and wannabe fans - complete bore other than slashs solo

Jungle was the first song I ever saw them play and I will never forget it... A lot of good choices in that list... I'd take just about any of them, U just wish they would switch it up.

As someone who followed the band since UYI came out but didn’t get to see them line until 2006, I might be a bit biased in picking Chinese Democracy. I like the build the song gets. Jungle works the same, but I feel it a bit too cliched, at this point. The other old openers like PC either wouldn’t work today because of Axl’s capabilities or the image they have now versus ‘91.  Coma should never open, but Nightrain could be good anyway.
