"Better" - discuss it in this thread

[slashsaxl]

haven't heard any of the new leaks, but from the reviews i read, most agree that it kicks ass, so can't wait to hear it, i guess i can find it somewhere to download, but part of me wants to wait for the album to listen to the finished product and savor those moments for my own judgement


rock n' roll

[Krispy Kreme]

The more I listen, the more I like  it. At first  I thought it was shit, but now I think that this song will absolutely kick ass live in concert. The full version is really great. Axl, if you read this (right, 72 pages of comments), please forgive me and  I will agree to accept free  tickets! 

[Axl S]

The same here, i thought the start of Better was shit. Now i have the full version i really like the song. I love the section just over half way though were Axl screams afew lines of lyrics out. This for me is the highlight of all the lyrics of all the leaks. TWAT has the best guitar work of all the tracks and The Blues still remains overall most complete sounding song (and i just love the paino work).

OH YA!! I'm really hoping for more songs like Better!! Easily still my fav of the new songs.

I ENJOYED PLAYING "BETTER" FOR ABOUT 10 DIFFERENT PEOPLE, ALL WITH VARYING DEGREES OF INTEREST IN GNR
I GOT CHILLS WATCHING THEIR FACES AS THE INTRO CHANGED INTO THAT INCREDIBLE VOICE COMING THROUGH

AFTER 15 YEARS OF WAITING AND WONDERING, I PERSONALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW ANYONE WHO HAS HEARD THIS SONG, CANNOT BE EXCITED ABOUT IT AND THE PROSPECT OF THE NEW ALBUM SURFACING THIS YEAR

I ALSO THINK THE HEAVY GUITARS TOWARDS THE END ARE A SIGN OF THINGS TO COME, AS AXL IS ON RECORD OF TRYING TO GET SLASH TO GET A LITTLE HEAVIER WHEN THE MOOD WAS RIGHT -

I Waited roughly 15 years for this?   Its not bad, but it is just blah..   Average, you know.  I really hope the finished work has a lot more balls to hit.

You didn't wait 15 years for anything. These songs weren't made 15 years ago... You only waited 15 years for a new album. I think it's great, better than a majority of their old stuff.

[axlrosehunny]

I waited 15 years for some new matterial and this is what looks to be on the new album.       And it isnt that good

In your opinion. Although, I suggest waiting till the ablum is out before judging the album.

[sergejg]

Who do you think are the guitar players playing on this one? After so many people its hard to tell but sounds definatley a bit like buckethead there. This is by far the best GNR song ever.  Slash must be crapping his pants with all of this kick ass solos in the four new demos. the TWAT solos are out of this world.

[BLS-Pride]

Well the 5:01 instrumental version helps smooth out the song and shit. All the key elements are there.. The solos and yes, attack of the computers in full force again.

[Cowboy Buddha]

there's a lot of clicks in it, I'm not sure if it's on purpose or not.

[nesquick]

can't listen to it right now, is it an old instrumental? is it an instrumental demo? or studio?

The instrumental sounds mighty good, I found myself doing an Axl and trying to sing over it karaoke style!

[Voodoochild]

Sounds just like the version we have, without Axl, of course.

[Nytunz]

i havent heard this.. is it good? the instrumental?? i wonder?? 

[Megaguns]

Im fuking loving the instrumental alot, Really makes me appreciate the music and band more than i did before. Studio version is gonna rule majorly!   

[Wooody]

Is it me or the instrumental has a better quality than the one with vocals ?
