One of the 2014 South American shows with Duff. I think Bolivia? It was due to the show being at such a higher altitude that Axl (maybe at Duff's suggestion?) decided to open with YCBM just to get it out of the way. If I remember it right, he sang the first line perfectly and then immediately switched to the mickey voice, so playing it earlier didn't really make it sound any better 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JAxlMorrison 182 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I’m cool with the usual opening. Easy, Brownstone, Chinese, Jungle. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's the middle songs I wouldn't mind a shuffle. But I wouldn't mind Right Next Door to Hell. Totally agreed - when they did open with it in 91 it was an awesome way to start a gig.

JimiRose 278 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Welcome to the Jungle was opened with in the 2006 tour, not much at all since, it's been chinese democracy or its so easy. Welcome to the jungle is the perfect opener to any set and should always be played first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dean 2,287 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I loved Chinese with the intro and the lead guitarist coming up on the riser, though It's So Easy works. If they released Hardschool as a single, they could get away with playing that first, then into Easy, Brownstone etc etc. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jamillos 1,897 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 1. Nightrain (slowed down as opposed to the NITL version) 2. A new song 3. Whatever Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oldest Goat 8,430 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 (edited) Pretty Tied Up or a new song would be rather nice. Edited November 19, 2020 by Oldest Goat Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SAU3R 754 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I actually had a dream last night where GNR played their first show after Covid and when the lights went down Axl came out alone and opened with My World 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonah 97 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Sweet child. Once the opening video finishes slash at the front of the stage in a spotlight playing the opening chords Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DoMw94 13 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I too like the opening four they've had recently (It's So Easy, Mr. Brownstone, Chinese Democracy, Welcome To The Jungle...). I also liked how in recent shows they went straight from Jungle to Slither. In terms of an opening song, besides It's So Easy, I think Chinese works perfectly, so does Jungle. You Could Be Mine or Nightrain would be cool, Shadow Of Your Love would be an interesting opener too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MJRemastered98 67 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Nightrain imo was a good opener in UYI era 1 hour ago, SAU3R said: I actually had a dream last night where GNR played their first show after Covid and when the lights went down Axl came out alone and opened with My World It started like a nice dream then turned into a sleep paralysis demon 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
UsedYourIllusion 436 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Perfect crime is probably my favorite opener, but that's not going to happen, maybe Pretty Tied Up? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YouCouldBeMine_2029 46 Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share Posted November 20, 2020 Opening with You Could Be Mine with Izzy back and Steven Adler on Drums! Perfect Crime and Mr Brownstone Opening would be Classic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gordon Comstock 5,559 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Ain't It Fun would be an interesting one, assuming they're promoting a UYI (and TSI) box set next year. Ain't Goin' Down would work as an opener too if they release it as a single. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
