Just a random thought i had earlier...if you had to play one and only one song from Chinese Democracy to somebody who had never heard the album, even if they are familiar with old GN'R, to convert them to the album, which one would you play them?

I woul go with 'Better', as it's probably the catchiest, 'instant' song on the album, and it's heavy enough to keep a wider range of people interested.

Your pics?

This I love. I've done this already with few of my friends and they asked to hear more songs.

This I love.

I would do the same thing,
the most of my friends who know the album only like the song This I Love the most...

"Sorry" if I'm playing a track for my accountant, "Better" to anyone else.

Prostitute, anyone? I lent the album to a few friends and they all loved Prostitute the most. But that might just be cause we were a bunch of guys in high school. =P

Chinese, definetly the easiest song to quickly apreciate on the album. even before the lyrics the riff is already catchy :P

I say Street Of Dreams because its got their new sound plus its got Axl's voice that we all fell in love with 25 years ago.

There Was A Time. That's the song I heard the 1st from the album. And it's been my fav track of CD since that day.

'There Was A Time' It's a true masterpiece!!

BF4 · « **Reply #15 on:** August 17, 2010, 05:20:43 PM »

This I Love

ChineseDemocracy86 · « **Reply #16 on:** August 18, 2010, 05:02:36 PM »

Street of Dreams

It depends completely on who the person is. If it's someone, who I know likes Nirvana for example, then Chinese Democracy is clearly the grungiest song. If the person mostly likes ballads, then This I Love is an easy choice. CITR is a song for the Beatles fans. TWAT for those who love guitar solos...etc
If it's a complete stranger then I'd probably pick Better.

Lazarus Pit · « **Reply #18 on:** September 03, 2010, 05:19:09 AM »

Either "Street Of Dreams" or "There Was A Time".

Starscream · « **Reply #19 on:** September 11, 2010, 04:39:06 AM »

hands down by favourite song on the album is Sorry, so I would choose this

F*ck Fear · « **Reply #20 on:** September 16, 2010, 01:32:15 PM »

I'd go with Better.

Iconic Shawn · « **Reply #21 on:** September 16, 2010, 03:10:56 PM »

Better or Chinese Democracy.

I definitely wouldn't let anyone who knows Guns N' Roses listen to Sorry or This I Love though.. Or scrapped..., or.. Catcher.. or.. hmm.. this sucks.

AgainstMe! · « **Reply #22 on:** January 25, 2011, 07:23:47 PM »

Catcher.. for a few reasons:
"Catchy" melodic solo
Nice lyrics which has an easy memorable melody line
great breakdown again with an amazing melody line - It just gets to you straight away...

"You were the instrument, you were the one" - Read this and tell me you don't instantly hear it, typical Axl as I know him.. Just great.. !

After much deiliberation - There Was A Time.

Before my girlfriend was actually my girlfriend, we'd hang out all the time, and one day she was listening to Pink Floyd. She didn't know much GnR (new or old) aside from what she'd heard on the radio, and I showed her 'Sorry' because I always felt it had a Pink Floyd-ish vibe...

She's been a fan since then
