"Better" - discuss it in this thread

[Velvet Forever]

Mhhhh I actually think it just rock , limp bizkit , which song bro?

[pilferk]

So who leaked this one???

Rosco.... but I hear from an inside source that Boss Hog brought it into town on a truck with some Slot machines........

I think Uncle Jessie snuck it in with the moonshine. ?Rosco was just helping out to try to get into Daisy's pants.

[Shoco]

kinda goes insane a bit, the whole song should have been like the mad bit

[GunsLova]

I luv how from 2:20 to 2:32ish it blends into the middle part

[Captain P?l]

OK my first thought,
What the hell has happened to the song I've been listening to for the last week.
AXL just turned everything inside out and kicked the crap out of it!!!

Hahah I'm now going to listen to it on repeat for a few hours to absorb it all.....

yeah! and i LOVE IT! did NOT see that coming! the first time in YEARS i've been thinking : HOW is it possible to make something like this?!

axl is weird, he rocks and i love him :p even more now!

Totally agree...take the heavy part and turn that into a 4:30 song and you have a number one single that people will be digging for 20 years +


IRS is a much more well put together song if you ask me, still my fave of the 3, then TWAT and then better.

[Lourenco]

this song is the shit!!!!!!!

[illusionone]

2 things I picked up - reminds me of dead horse - starts and ends with the same bit. ?I love how it jump hard into the song then just stops. ?I here a big SFD influence in the middle of this song.

[88 Days]

wow this song brings tears to my eyes listening to it, just as madagascar had me on my knees in tears first time i heard it
only axl is capable of that.
"just use your head and in the end you'll find your inspiration"
i really love axl rose.

Take the middle part out and you will have a filler sorta like IRS good song but not strong enough..
The heavy part of this song give's it a pretty good kick n spice

It appears to me that Axl isnt worried about radio friendly pop songs...by the sound of this song hes willing to take a sure chart hit and turn it into a musical monster...even if it means its not a layup....liek it could have been...

Axl has balls

[Mutherfunker]

People who say "I don't like that bit" - that's the point Axl was making. You're not gonna like all of it - you can already see that parts you don't like are loved by others and vice versa.

This is the beauty of this - different sounds, different techniques, it's all a .... what did Axl call it?.... a melting pot?

There has been no consensus on any part of the song - nobody agrees - it's brilliant

This is what I like about it the most.

[the rush]

HOLY FUCK!!!!

When he said that, I think most people would have thought he meant the whole album from song to song.... not that a song was going to change second to second...

[tHeElEcTrIcSiNtAr]

The song is unbelievable. I love every part in it, the transitions are totally different and unexpected. Its nice and mellow, then its upbeat, then its wicked heavy. Its so awesome. Axls voice is insane, its awesome. I just cant think of words to describe how cool this fuckin song is.

[Voodoochild]

Fuck the charts... All I want is good music, and seems Axl is bringing me enough!

[Thorned Rose]

Damn, I had the 1:20 clip and then the 2:03 clip and just listened to this "full" version.

I must say that this song is fresh as hell... and why in the hell is Axl Rose holding these songs back? We mostly like them all, they are fresh, and it will sell 200000- 400000 it's first week... they will still profit from this album...

I like it... it's fresh. Rock out, rock on! ?

[Thorned Rose]

Oh yeah, nice guitar work in here also... I like it, not too much but just right... good song.

I dont understand what people are complaining about. Doesnt NR change drastically at the end?!?
Axl has always pushed the envelop as much as he could've with his musical vision.
So now you are getting something different again . What's the problem?
Not every song has to sound like classic GNR. That said, the elements are still there!
