IRS- I'd go with an 8. I think it could go even higher though once the finished product is released.

Better- 10. Even though we've only heard the first 90 seconds or so, great, great song. Edgy, melodic, pure ear-candy yet also rocks.

IRS: 8 (with more aggressive guitars and a speed up tempo)
Better: I don't have a clue. Maybe 5. The intro sounds odd to me.

IRS-4 or 5 ?Mike's right, the solo kicks ass, and is the only real highlight

Better-7 or 8 ?Not the greatest song ever, but a very catchy tune that is sure to go top 10

Axl described some of the songs as Queen style arrangements or something.. so the other tracks must be quite diverse as I can't hear much of that so far! We definately have a lot more to look forward to I think ?:yes:

Better 7-8

IRS 8-9 (yes solo is awesome)

Unlike most I actually like IRS better.. love the tempo.. my kinda song!

IRS - 7
Buckets solo gets an 8

Better - 8
And thats from only hearing 1 minute of it!
I'd probably give it a 9 or 10 if the rest of it is as good.

Rating is relative. Compared to the shit that is out there on the radio, both songs get a 10.
But I think you mean compared to other GN'R songs:

IRS: 7
Better: 5

if this is compared to other gnr material like wttj scom ,pc, CW, ycbm, NR estranged, coma, etc then this stuff is under 5...

people throw around 8 or better like it's nothing.. Stairway to heaven is a ten, freebird is a ten

IRS 7 - just a demo i guess
Better 5 - very radio friendly, sounds popish. intro is not my cup of tea.

IRS: 8
Better: 8.5-9 (but I wanna hear the rest before giving final judgement...could go up to a 10, or down to a 7, depending on the rest of the song)


Title: Re: IRS & Better-take the poll
Post by: The Dog on February 17, 2006, 10:34:16 AM
IRS - 7
Better - TBD

I don't know how some people are giving Better such a high rating and saying its one of the best GNR songs of all time....we've only heard 1:20 of it!?!?!?!?!?

Oh come on you must be pretty hard up or have no judging ability. At that rate silkworms would earn atleast a 15 out of 10 on your scale.

Post by: Oh My Choking Soul on February 17, 2006, 03:50:18 PM
Guns N' Roses - 10.

Seriously, I love IRS. I am reserving judgement on Better. I will say I have played these songs to non-Gn'R fans, some in thier late teens early 20's and they all think that the stuff is ground breaking. Sad that it never happend 10 years ago, may have saved us from Link N' Sync, Goo Goo Dolls and Rob Thomas.

I.R.S. - atm 7.5, drums and vocals seems unfinished.
Better - 8, -2 points due that "All that I wanted" sounds like Good Charlotte.

IRS - 7. the song has potential to really kick ass, but it just never gets you there. the solo is phenominal though. and the rhythm guitar in the background is incredible - very heavy - it actually reminds me of old black sabbath. ?

better clip - 6. vocals sound good. and the end of the clip gives me hope that i'll really love the song if we ever hear a finished version.

Glad I'm not the only one who likes IRS better than better.

Maybe when we get to hear the whole song better will be better.

IRS is about a 6.5 - 7.

Don't wanna rank Better without hearing the full song.

IRS - I give a 7 1/2 - the irs, fbi thing sounds gimmicky

Better - a 3 - the song shows great potential to kick ass, but the chorus we can almost hear makes me think of something gay and powerchorded that Nickleback would write.

But, I'll gladly take them.
