Default Your favorite opener?

What would be your selection for the opening song of next BJ tour?
So far the common openers have been Livin' On A Prayer, Bounce, Last Man Standing, Lay Your Hands On Me, Rockin' In A Free World, One Wild Night and I Believe...
I think it would be nice to hear
Hey God
Bad Medicine
Hook Me Up
or Sympathy as a wild card... Tempo of that song is an the roof from the beginning to the end

Bad medicine or Hey God as an opener? You havin' a laugh? lol

Don't think they'd work in my opinion. They opened with Hook Me Up on one of the first Bounce dates. It wasn't too bad but it was only in a small setting.

Prayer was a good opener as far as the song goes but to say they didn't choose a song from Crush on that tour was a bit strange dont you think? I'm presuming that was the only tour they opened with it.....? Can't think of any other show they did.......

I liked Bounce, LYHOM and Rockin' in the Free World as openers but fave has to be Last Man Standing (with the extended E minor intro (or Eb minor for all the musicians out there lol))

On the Crush tour I think there was only one possible song that could be used as an opener from the album and that's One Wild Night. I don't know why they didn't use it. Yeah they used it on the OWN tour but that was after.......

I reckon HAND would have been good on the last tour aswell......

Yah I always thought HAND would've been the best opener for the last tour, especially on shows where LMS wasn't played.

I really liked the 1996 'Lay Your Hands On Me' with the marching band intro. I think 'I Believe' works well too. I think we all would like Bon Jovi to be a bit more diverse but I don't think they will.

Last Man Standing hands down, maybe the occasional Prayer.

I no prayer is a great opener. but i like what they did at milton keynes (near enough left it towards the end) i thought it was gud because every 1 was hyped up (not saying u wudnt be hyped up at a BJ concert) but i felt it just had a great effect that way (i hope that makes sense lol)

I'd only go for that if they played The Tico Song right after it

I would like to hear as an opener.... Hello Australia ..lol

I Believe would be a great song to open with, or HAND would work well too.

I suppose you're referrering to Only In My Dreams...?
That would be honestly pretty nice to hear but I think it would fit much better to the end of the concert when the night is dark...
