"Better" - discuss it in this thread

[axlsalinger]

Fcuking hell ... This clip is awesome!! The start is fantastic, ?I love the way it blends in a little bit later, Axl sounds really great, and we haven't even really heard the chorus yet!! The studio version of IRS is fantastic as well. Don't forget that we haven't even really heard Madagascar or The Blues yet, in their studio form anyway.

I have never doubted the quality of the songs. Only doubt was, would Axl ever get around to releasing them, which I suppose still remains.

I wonder if "Better" is the one-word first single title Axl told Madison in '02. It is kinda funny that Axl just dropped this name a couple of weeks ago, and now we have a piece of it.

It is also a most strange coincidence that HTGTH was down for a couple of days upgrading their servers, and how this is just a teaser clip of the first part of the song, and how the mods haven't said a word ...

Is it really possible? Could this be the start of the official release of Chinese Democracy?!?! ?

[Megaguns]

Some parts sound a bit like RHCP? I fukin love it though, All and more i hoped for.

[IndiannaRose]

Some idiot said it sounded like a Nine Inch Nails track.. what a dumb ass!!!

I can definately see the influence.

[Voodoochild]

the intor is sick....very melodic and different....

Very different. When I first heard it I thought, 'man this is fake', and then when Axl kicks in it turns into pure bliss.

Haha, same here. I thought "oh man, this is just another bullshit" and the, Axl goes "The hardest part this troubled heart has never yet been through now" and I was like WOW!!!!!!!

Awesome song indeed!

There's some cool chords in the rhythm guitar.. Guess it's half tuned, sounds really heavy.

[Ignatius]

 

The clip is amazing...

I have to work now, but I can't. Already heard the clip like 10 times...it's incredible. Axl sounds unbeliable. The guitars are so polished as well..it's heavy. I like it. Drums, yeah, it's a drum machine, but this demo sounds way better than the old GNR's

Looks like managment is testing the waters since beginning of Jan. We first had Axl's attendance at the Korn Party, Axl in Vegas, Axl in New York, Axl playing cd in NY club and now this leak...this is the closest we've ever been to the release date.

An official release date within a month.

Damn it, I gotta work

First listen I was like, "wtf is this sh*t???", but when it kicked in, I was like "damn, that's f**king awesome!"
It's modern rock with Axl vocals and it sounds great!
I really like the intro vocals, really trippy. Axl was right when he said that there's vocals on there that don't sound like him.

I think I like this song even better than IRS.

[Pandora]

Same than IRS, please don't post any links to this song until further notice. All links will be deleted.

Man, I've been listening to this non-stop, I'm amazed. If this was the first single, this band and album will blow the world away. It's the best rock song since 'Coma', IMO...

[greekmule]

OMG!this is great-awesome potential!

Axl in the studio hasn't lost a single step-still on top form.
he is still one of the best!

man 2 new gnr clips and the dallas mavericks are on top of the western conference.this is a fuckin great day!


chinese democracy started yesterday-people get on the bandwagon!

That's a pretty big call, but no doubt Better is an awesome track, it has such a huge groove and Axl's vocals sound great!

[SLCPUNK]

Some idiot said it sounded like a Nine Inch Nails track.. what a dumb ass!!!

I can definately see the influence.

The intro is very NIN and something else..............

awesome song  ................. hope we get CD sooner than later 

I must wonder if "sooner" may be the word now................

[Cocaine__tongue]

Well, a nice way to start the day, getting to hear one demo and a half of new gnr's songs!!. By the way, I think Axl's voice is way "better" in better than in the IRS demo, but anyway, they're just demos so in the cd his voice will be as great as usual!!!.

[blackpainter]

This song is amazing!
this make me hopeful about the Rock N' Roll music in the 21 century!
