ChristmasFnatic Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Aside from the usual JUNGLE, CHIDEM, and closing with PARADISE CITY. What other songs you think would be awesome and will work as openers/encore?Paradise City as an opener seems cool. SCOM as well. Both for the guitars that can really make fans crazy.As for encore... I USED TO LOVE HER, ROCKET QUEEN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhazUp Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 (edited) Nightrain was a kickass opener in the 90's, and it would also make for an awesome encore songI can also imagine YCBM opening a set too, that would be pretty damn cool Edited September 25, 2013 by WhazUp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR DOOM Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 YCBM would be killer.Nightrain, Its So Easy, Paradise City...Pretty Tied Up would be good, if unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally speaking, you wouldn't want to open with something that would be such a strain on the voice.On topic - I think most of the openers that would be good have been used in the past (Nightrain, It's So Easy, RNDTH). I think My Michelle could be a good opener too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Openers - Madagascar, Right Next Door To Hell, Perfect Crime, Shackler's RevengeClosers - TWAT, Prostitute, Nov Rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I love Chinese as an opener. Ever since I heard the new intro at the first Hammerstein show I was convinced it should be their opener. Having said that, they could open and close with any song in their catalog and it would go over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batman007 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I would like Better as the closer. He puts a lot of effort into that song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bono Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Out Ta Get Me and You Could be Mine would work well as openersI think they could get away with November Rain as a closer but it's hard to picture a GnR show ending on a slow song.GnR is the only band I can really think of that is kinda stuck with a specific song to close shows. Paradise City just fits so perfectly to close out GnR shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvH Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Open with M. Brownstone; and close with Jungle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicguns4life Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 They have opened with You Could Be Mine before in the 90s. Don't remember what the show was but I know I just looked it up recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aArief178 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Opener would be Coma and closer would be Breakdown. Then the concert time will be 3hr+ considering they do NR, Estranged, KOHD, and solo spots =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunnari Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Opener: Dead Horse and close with Pretty Tied Up....those songs describe perfectly this band "Sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse" (dead horse being GnR) and "Once there was this rock n roll band rolling on the streets..time went by and it became a joke" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Jesus Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Perfect opener would be Mr Brownstone, if a couple of lyrics are changes.I get up around 11, get on stage after midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magisme Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Open with whatever. Close with anything but a hit from the classic band and everyone leaves thinking, "WTF was that shit?"Nostalgia band plays nostalgia songs. That's how it works.

MrSoftie Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Shacklers would be an epic opener. If he used the WTTJ power for it... sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coma16 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I think opening with CD is fine. We just need some variation of WTTJ, ISE, and Brownstone. PC is a great closer (even though I don't like the song all that much).But if they have to change I'd open with SR (I think opening songs should be off of the latest album) and closer would be OTGM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trqster Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Opener: Nightrain or Pretty Tied Up like in RIR 91! Encore ender: TWAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 If it ain't broke - don't fix it!Jungle and PC were the perfect open and close.Nothing gets a restless crowd going like hearing those opening guitar chords..........and then hearing Axl's voice yelling "you know where you arrrrreeeeeeee?" while the stage is still dark..........And the closing to PC is perfect as the song drags on, guitars are blazing, Axl is running around crazy.CD starting the show is very boring and doesn't get the crowd into a frenzy like Jungle does.
