What song should open the first show?

DTJ, Bad Obsession, Pretty Tied Up, Perfect Crime, So Fine seem more likely but who knows? 

I'm expecting The Godfather solo and DTJ more. 

Maybe more songs from Spag Inc and Lies and AFD too. 

Really hoping to hear Coma. My favorite all time GNR song.

 

I wouldn't expect them to do any incident stuff. I expect them to rotate some of the more popular non main stream UNI stuff and even My Michelle in there as well.

Open with Paradise City with full pyro then stand there like a fucking boss and take it all in.

This would be pretty badass!

The amount of adrenaline running through the crowd and band...

Who knows? It's all about the Kinder eggs so far. 

Coma would be awesome moment in the set for Slash and Axl. 

Having seen Axl in the frame for ACDC job makes me think why not.

Opener, probably WTTJ or It's So Easy. RNDTH or Pefect Crime outsider options.

Otherwise, I hope there will be a bunch of epics in the shows. For example, Locomotive (with an extended five-minute outro), Breakdown, a version of TWAT (with a rawer/sleasier sound than the previous live versions) would be cool. Duff's 'No More' could work well. Maybe a couple of songs from It's Five o' Clock. 

Came to think about it. Beggars and Hangers immediately followed by Madagascar could be awesome. Slash stuff and Axl stuff put together. 

What I do not want to hear: NR. And not more than three or four songs from Appetite.

either WTTJ or YCBM with killer rasp

Nothing could be bigger than hearing YOU KNOW WHERE THE FUCK YOU ARE???? right at the beginning. Gosh I got goosebumps just thinking about it.

This exactly! I don't know why we're even considering any other options. It's literally the most perfect song EVER to start this show of all shows.

My POV is that the goosebumps are gonna there and the crowd is gonna go apeshit no matter what they open with. That's why I'm totally fine with Jungle getting thrown in wherever/whenever and don't so much care if it's the opener.

[gunsguy]

Opening with Rosie would be hilarious actually

[3rd Wheel]

Open with "Sorry."

[Frozen Inferno]

Open with a montage. Then you could be mine.

I don't wanna be that guy but there's no Izzy on Civil War.

Izzy wrote part of it, as seen with the Farm Aid concert.

Because my idea of It's So Easy with an extended bass intro in the dark and when the drums come in the strobe lights start going off like crazy and they extend the entire intro to about 20-25 seconds and then when the song kicks into high gear the lights, smoke, confetti and pyro explode,  punching the crowd right in the fucking face is a better opening. Less cliche and more powerful. Jungel to open the encore is a better use of the song.

I listened to Live Era on shuffle today and It's So Easy was followed by Axl introducing jungle, it was an amazing combo. That'd be a good opener but I don't see how it would be anything but jungle. 

[StrangerInThisTown]

Jungle is too predictable they might switch it to 2nd song

Written by Axl, Slash and Duff...all that performance tells me was that good ol Bill and Saul were forcing the two guys that made them whom they were out of the band. Typical UYI Izzy mix.  Loud enough but through a clean channel so when the big dirty Marshall kicks in,  he's lost.  Kinda like Cliff in Metallica.  Loud but lost as soon as James plays on the records because distorted bass don't mix with distorted guitar

[fanfzero]

They can get drunk and open with Jungle (St louis 91 version)

[estranged_85]

With all the shit that's happened and still happening in the world with terrorism an other shit, i would like Axl to do a cover of John Lennon's Imagine. On his piano of course. NOT as a opening song but in mid show or something.

As opening i would like to hear It's so easy or Nightrain.

[timkerr37]

Not sure about what song. But I hope they bring back the original announcer. How about. " you wanted the best well only 3/5ths could make it. From LA. Guns n' roses"!

Would you be disappointed if they opened with Chinese?

This has been the most underwhelming opening for the past 6 years so yes. Jungle is literally the most perfect opening of all time, especially for this show. I don't even care if they play cd later in the set

Fixed.

For the record, I think they should just play AFD front to back to open.  At least for show #1. I think that would be awesome.

I think Jungle is the perfect song to open it all up with axl duff and slash ripping into it. Nightrain I love later in set maybe before the encore. I woudnt mind slashs take on CD but not too open any shows though
