Ratam Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Is't so easy or WTTJ , two are interchangeable ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dissident Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 It's so Easy is one of the best openers of any of the concerts I've seen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvH Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Most of the ones they've used are really great, apart from Nightrain which seem to better fit the late part of a show. Jungle is always killer. YCBM is a very strong opener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikute91 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I'm a bit tired of ISE as an opener, and WTTJ would seem a little cliche in my opinion. I voted for Perfect Crime; the sheer energy that Axl used to bring on... In fact I've always preferred live performances of that song rather than the album version because of the energy. Although, I'm not sure how well he could pull it off nowadays. I must agree with some of you here on YCBM, it would be my second choice. The intro builds up very nicely, it's punchy, intense, suspenseful, and the whole song just carries the right amount of energy to start off the show and keep the crowd pumped up. And it's probably wiser to open with a better known tune, anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom-Ass Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 It's So easy worked great for the NITL tour but it has grown tired. I think Jungle is great and that was they opened with the first time I ever saw them in 91.. That is what I voted for.. I can't really think of a better way than a loud "You Know Where the Fuck You Are!?!?!?!?!?" to kick things off. I feel that the opening track is one of the best songs to mix up. Not knowing what you are going to get kind of makes the show a little more exciting right off the bat and the first song will get a great reaction no matter what. I also think it is important to mix up the encore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waemoth Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I voted Perfect Crime, but I think You Could Be Mine comes really close. The only time they opened with it on the 1991 tour (Denver), sounds incredible. So much power, none of that whiny first half. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
