"Better" - discuss it in this thread

[MeanBone]

omg i'm so gonna cry when i hear this album!
this is as perfect as music can get! 
AXL ROCKS!!!!!!!!

[Christos AG]

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?!?! 

Trust me on this one, moving to another server had nothing to do with this. Besides, we haven't moved yet...

can someone pm me with a link or something to point me in the direction of better and irs the better version 

[Jamie]

This is exciting news alright. But I think I'm gonna try and steer clear of the new leaks, or at least try. Due to recent rumours of goings on in the GnR camp and Axl's recent public appearences I firmly believe that CD is on the way, so I'm gonna try my best to wait for the actual album, instead of listening to internet leaks; but I'll probably give in eventually.


Edit: Yeah well I tried but failed miserably, 'tis a great track by the way.

[shaun]

Just looked on emule,  and only one IRS is beening shared and no sign of Better

[Mikkamakka]

sounds like Axl hasn't given up the industrial style...

The intro is weird. I hope they changed it. The music isn't anything special...

But Axl is awesome! WTF a man with such a talent buried himself for more than a decade! What a loss...  Time to come back!

Listen to the intro a few more times. It grows on you. When you hear stuff like this, it does kind of make you sad. He's so fucking talented, and could have unleashed this kind of stuff on the world years ago. He's truly a genius, and his songwriting capability can no longer be questioned by anybody. But like they always say, good things come to those who wait.

Yeah, I thought the intro was weird too, but now i can't get it out of my head. It DOES grow on you... 

[madagas]

Help-can anyone pm me the links. I am very old school and need help with this kind of stuff. I am dying to hear both but really want Better right now. Thanks.

Yeah, for the 5th time it sounds better... Still weird but on a lovely way.

Just grabbed it. There was a link on mygnr. I guess there's just just one version of better. The version i just leached is called 'better vocals'. Axl singing over some backing stuff. To be honest, i thought it sounded not so great. Maybe this is simply some outtake. I'll reserve my judgement until the finnal album is released.

The new IRS sounds like a finished track. Should that be being leaked already? this new version sounds slightly laidback and i've re grown to like the old'er leak, the version with the heavy white noise. I guess i'm too into Nine Inch Nails right now 


IRS and The Blues are the 2 best new tracks from the new GnR. The Blues is one track i really want to hear the studio version of.

[Eppe]

What a song!! I love it! This is the best one of the new songs. I like the intro too. 

[blackpainter]

I just think the intro style is nothing wrong, Industrial Rock is nothing wrong. I love it at my first listening

[2NaFish]

both song sound really zeppelin-y. somewhere between houses of the holy and physcial graffitti. great. fucking great.

[GNROSAS]

OH My God Gnr are Back....Uncle Axl sounds great...Fuck....
12 years waiting.....I am speechless....I want CD Now....
Better is a Fuckin' Hit Single straight number One and
IRS has a nice chill out feelling with Mr Buckethead's signature soloing....
Bring me more songs now....................

And How Nice the Intro of Better Is......


AND YES - VELVET REVOLVER WHO?

[makane]

Woot, give us the damn whole song ffs! The songs just repeating itself in my head ?
What a dissapointment it would be if this would be all we ever heard from Chinise Democracy. I mean, just to hear all these teasers and clips, but never the real thing ?

[Jim]

Oh, I do have one thought.

IRS should definatly not be a single.

[HoldenCaulfield]

Yes, this intro haunts you. It's so engulfing after multiple listens... 

[jameslofton29]

Oh, I do have one thought.

IRS should definatly not be a single.

I agree. That song isn't going anywhere on the charts. It should just be an obscure track on the record. Of the songs we've heard, this clip of better has the best chance at putting them over the top. It would make Top 10 easy.

[Mateoson]

Better is fucking crazy! I love it. I don't want to spoil CD, but afterall... these are only demos. Wonder if we'll get the full version? IRS is great, but I agree... better is on another level!
