A song that should open Bon Jovi shows in 2013

There's not much that needed to be said here. Does new tour means new opening song? Or should they stick to the previous ones? Should they open with a new song? Or should they stick an oldie that hasn't been an opener and put it in new life (aka Blood On Blood in 2010)?

I'm quite torn on this. One half me wants them to open with a new one, as it's always nice when you see an artist for a n-th time and he opens a song that wasn't written when you saw him/them the previous time. The focus on new material always makes an impression that a band believes in the record as well. In this regard, the TC tour started promising, but it didn't take them long to start dropping the songs. However, with LH tour the songs stayed pretty much all the way, with most of them returning in the TC tour as well. For me, Army Of One sounds like it could work as an anticipation builder, so that has my voice.

However, another half of me wants to see an old song reworked in a new slot. IML would be an absolute massive opener, they could even extend the talkbox intro. I imagine if they did this I would mark out crazy for the first time. KTF with an extended intro could also be really cool. The only question is do you want to open with a big hit right away. My dream setlist would have I Believe as an opener, but I just don't see them doing that in 2010s, way too vocally demanding.

Any creative suggestions are welcome, I was limited with only 10 options in a poll, that's why it didn't have Prayer, Bounce, OWN or other famous openers.

Also, you can elaborate on how you want a Jovi show to be opened in general. With a bang (ala Prayer, Bad Name), with a non-hit rocker (ala Raise Your Hands), midtempo song (ala Blood, Radio) or an intimate song to build anticipation (Something To Believe In, When We Were Beautiful, Not Fade Away etc.).

I've always liked Raise Your Hands as an opener... Something with a good rock beat to it should open old or new

I'd rather hear them open with something they haven't opened with before, but not a new song either.

Maybe Someday I'll Be Saturday Night with Jon out front with the acoustic before the rest of the band kicks in.

So far I often had the opening songs that were rather rare at the time (Raise Your Hands on the HAND tour, Bounce on the Circle tour), plus Lost Highway on its subsequent tour. They all went over great when I saw them and the only one that really drowned was Happy Now - because it was too slow. That's why I thought of Army of One - not really a faster song than HN and Jon could let Tico play the drums for quite a while and then slowly enter the stage with his fist in the air to get the crowd screaming for him.

I'd love to hear a return of One Wild Night, but could also imagine It's My Life, Runaway or Wild in the Streets fitting that spot really well.

As a song Raise Your Hands is the perfect opener. I don't like it though because Jon sounds dreadful on it. I think the opener should give a good impression of the band, including Jon's vocals.

So yeah, no idea what they should open with.

I can't believe that there isn't a single person on here who wouldn't vote for 'I Believe'.

Jesus.

'I Believe'?

Anyone?

Yeah it's great but they opened with it before.

I'll go with Prayer, just to have it out of the way.

I think Bad Name would be a great opener too.

I want something faster. LMS really got me hyped for the show. If it has to be a new song, based on what we've heard, That's what the water made me would do it.
