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?  :D

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

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

Ask yourself.

Slash played well, but Robin wrote Better.

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.

shackler's or better

Consultin' with the rain
And my head I'd be scratchin'
While my thoughts were busy hatchin'

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.

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.

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.. !
Before he was blind
But he could see the world
N' how it was suppose to be
Now theres darkness and disbelief
Closed his eyes
Screamed to the skies
I dont wanna see

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 :)
And just like grim ascension prophecies
My revenge carved deep will be
A grisly plot that reads
Like my filthy white ward spattered with their screams
When My Deviliverers come from fog for me...
