Title: Better - the facts (Read now to avoid confusion)
Post by: jarmo on March 09, 2007, 08:05:12 PM
Here are the facts about the Better track you might have heard on the radio:

  • It is a work in progress demo. It's not a finished version.
  • It is not an official release and was not meant to be heard.
  • It was not put out by the band to get feedback on the song.



If somebody says otherwise, it's simply not true.

I don't think theyll put out a single until the mixing/mastering is 100% completed, and the record company gives the album a thumbs up to be released. As soon as that happens, a single will probably be announced along with a release date.

Thanks for this, jarmo.

It shouldn't need something like this to see the facts. But anyways, always good to have someone to clarify.

Yeah, sorry if you think we can all wake up one day (2/21) and dozens of National DJ's all conspired at once on the same day to break the law.... and no CAD orders were sent out... and the song is still being played on dozens of stations. But it's your bb and you're the boss.   : ok:

I only presented a theory, but this obviously disturbs some posters who think Axl will hold their hand through every part of the album release process.

Then we need someone to call that station and tell them to play it, and then someone will record the stream. I can record it if I know when it will be played.

A stream recording would only cause bitching. It needs to be a recording from a "Stereo" FM radio with great reception.

Well then an email to the DJ asking for an MP3 is the way to go. I think that if your theory is right, we will have a good mp3 of it within days at the most.

You are spreading lies.

Either you stop, or I'll make you stop. Simple as that.

There's no conspiracy here.


For those of you thinking about requesting the illegal leak, you're going against what the band wants.

This was not meant to be heard because it's not a finished version of the song. It's a work in progress demo. Simple as that,



Well then an email to the DJ asking for an MP3 is the way to go. I think that if your theory is right, we will have a good mp3 of it within days at the most.

His theory is wrong!

Why would his theory be right when you have the facts posted at the top of the page?

It's not a lie, it's a theory. And a fact at the top of the page would look better if we were all hearing that Cease and Desists were being sent out. As far as I know, that's not happening. I'm simply trying to express the oppinion of many posters on many bb's that something isn't right. If your info came from the band, than say so. That would clear up allot.

Sincerely,

As I stated in my first post in this thread, I believe that the single is not out yet.... but in the post you quoted I simply said that the only way we will know if his theory is right or not is to hear the actual song. Anyway, I know of one radio station (that was playing the leaked version) that got a cease and desist letter today.

Well, moving on.....

Edit: And if you say these are the facts, then I will take your word for it.  :)

                                      So is the source ( or label) gonna take steps to stop the leak and issue cease & desist letters  ? Because as of right now the things getting mainstream attention as more and more stations play it.

/jarmo
No one is questioning, that this is not what you have been told.  However, there are several reasons why that is incorrect spin.

These are major stations playing the song, they got it from a CD, the programming directors carefully pick each song on the playlist, DJs now a days get no freedom to play what they want.  All program directors are afraid of getting sued, and would only play authorized songs.  I used to work in radio, and still have many contacts at WAAF in Boston.  A rogue DJ could get away with playing "Better" once or twice, but if it was truely wrong to do so, he would get slapped with a cease and desist order so fast.  The IRS leak on Trunk's show was not supposed to happen, and look how fast management worked to hide that, if they really wanted the new version to dissapear, it would happen.  Again, I understand your job, and apreciate the special information and presales that you provide, but these are the facts.

So you'd rather believe what a few DJs playing the track are saying rather than the actual facts?

Just like I've said in the past. Some people won't believe anything from the band's side.  ::)

You missed my point.  The DJs don't choose what they play it is the station program and music directors that pick the songs.  And it is not just a few rogue DJs but directors across the county, enough directors to make a dent in the billboard charts.

I am sure that someone close to the band told you your information, but that doesn't mean that they are telling you the truth 100%.  Just as GNR was able to wipe the songs off the radio the first time the leaks popped out, they could do it again if they wanted to, but they are in fact choosing not to, and letting it play out.

If I could produce a picture of the album that the stations received, would you believe me then?

Radio stations are starting to receive cease and desist letters.

I can't say which ones out of confidentiality and my job - but I confirmed with Jarmo that they are starting to arrive.


Title: Re: Better - the facts (Read now to avoid confusion)
Post by: cybercurves on March 10, 2007, 05:46:23 PM
When this "version" leaked last month, it was thought that this was the actual single...that leaked.  Non-GNR message boards and non-GNR websites announced shortly after that "the first single leaked, etc. etc.".  Then a few days later, GNR's official site announced that the "recording for the album has been completed....as the band is currently mixing".  So we know this is NOT the official single since it isn't finished yet.  But a lot of radio stations DON'T know that and they started playing it anyways.  The problem is that there are so many stations playing the song that it hasn't reached the attention of GNR's legal people....yet.  It's impossible to police the whole Country of radio stations at once which is why some stations haven't gotten their CAD order yet.

How on earth can these be "raw demos" when Axl has been touching them up for over 12 years? More like they're putting out feelers to find out if the songs are gonna catch fire or be received like a big steaming "Oh My God."

There is no finished version of Better on the radio.

Meaning, a version meant for release. Which would mean it's been mixed, mastered and approved.



So I don't understand what finished album these radio DJs are talking about. It doesn't exist.

Well with all that evidence those sound like some water tight facts to me  : ok:

Of course it's not a single, but I still say the timing of the leaks last year and this was AMZINGLY good for launching a tour/keeping people intrested while the record is further delayed. Though I'm sure if they were to intentionally leak a song, Axl's first call would be to the webmaster of a message board to let him know the score!

The "Paradise City" version did air on TV late last year as planned.? They also planned on airing an alternate version featuring "Better", but it wasn't aired.? Probably due to the fact the album didn't come out.? The "PC" version is currently showing on Harley's website.?

Probably wrong, but I'm bored and speculating lol  ;D

                             If thats the case the label will likely always win since they've invested a shitload of money into this. I just wonder if that one poster was right about the DJ's getting CD Copies of the song to play.

                         But radio's became a more corporate enity today. A lot of them get ordered to play a song and have to listen . I can't really think that all these station managers bandied togethor to stick it Axl Rose to play this song.

                         Maybe that guy will show us proof. Til then its just a confusing mess . ( Has the label taken action now ? Is there a link to it as news they are issueing cease & desist letters?)

I understand that the HD commercial never happened, etc.? However, is it reasonable to think that they provided a mastered copy of Better to HD for use in the commericial?? I would have to imagine they didn't send them a demo to use, right?? So, I am wondering how this copy that HD had never leaked?? I'm sure there were legal documents signed by HD, however, you have to wonder how it never leaked.

If Jarmo gets something from "a reliable source" then I believe him. Didn't we have Axl's letter on here before it was on the official website?
The only way I think this could be innacurate would be if the band/someone VERY close to them lied outright to him. But I don't see why they would.

Dizzy said that the 2nd leak is the one they send to Harley? Is that right?

because when you listen to the harley clip, it's def. different to the 2nd Better leak..

It is. There's no additional "na na na" backing in the H-D version. Also, the guitars and Axl's are not that loud in the last demo.

Just to get things back on topic a little...... didn't anyone think it was just a bit odd though that the tracks which leaked just happened to be - conviniently - the ones which featured on the tour. You shouldn't believe everything you hear. I mean,  if it was intentional by the band, don't you think some of the money guys at the record company would be just a bit annoyed? So better to play dumb. I don't know where the leak appeared from. A big boy done it and ran away.....

Oh yes, nobody has thought about that. Truly original.

Did you ever think that maybe the band can learn how to play their own songs? Even the ones that leaked?

I heard the leak for the first time yesterday on a Chicago radio station and I'm sorry but you could tell it was a demo. The chick on the radio even said she thinks it was downloaded off the web somewhere and it wasn't an official release but fans are so hungry for something new, they still want to hear it.
You could tell it's a demo!!!!!! Do you think Axl would ever release something like that? You have to be a damn fool! Or just a newbie fan who doesn't know better - excuse the pun.

I guess fans are so hungry for something, they will take anything. I'll wait for the official release of how it's intended to sound.

Check This out.... Scroll down and look at # 30
Then scroll down and check out most added then reocurrant...

This in no way proves the track is a final version but if it was a "leaked" version I don't think it's be on this chart.Just a thought.
