"Better" - discuss it in this thread

[GNRslave]

call me optimistic, but i think this is the final version and CD is on its way!! i dont think its  a fake...man, i went almost 2 months without listening to this song or any of the other CD songs, but now i think im gonna get hooked all over again!!

[misterbrownstone]

here's my guess:

this is the final DEMO version of the song. ?the reason Bucket's parts are so quiet is because they'll eventually be replaced with Ron's...the vocals are waaay too clean and sound EXACTLY like what was on HD commercial, which leads me to believe this is the final demo.

whoever is drumming is rocking the SHIT outta their set. ?sweet jesus! ?and the harmony parts in the 'na na na na' (which is now TOTALLY clean, unlike in the demo, when many people thought it was 'all i wanted' or something) are definitally awesome. ?may be jumpin the gun, but it sounds liek Robin. ?anyway, nice work to GN'R or the fan who did the finest remix of all time.

This is just a mix, I highly doubt its the final mastered version.

My only reason = the vocals sound too raw during the bridge screaming.

I also could do without the synths...apparently Pitman forgot to play on the leaked demo.

Still rocks though

Loving this mix, as it doesn't kill my speakers when I turn it up

[BD888]

It's defintely more radio friendly.

The riff after the first verse is missing too, I really dug that in the demo....what was Bucket's solo is mashy and amorphous.....

[Evan442]

I really dont think this is a remix

how can someone take a demo thats all one compressed file and separate all the different elements (vocals, guitars, pitman), and make a new mix

impossible unless you have access to the studio itself

i think this is the final mixed version

if so, hopefully the thing is coming out "soon"

[Alan]

i love it

[axlrosegnr]

well it definatly shounds better than the demo....

[BD888]

Robin's lead work during the bit after his solo into the na na nas should be brought a little higher in the mix

[BD888]

Still, fucking lovin this though

[RnT]

listening again, I have a question...

Ron doesn?t play the same solo live like at  1:19  (Buckethead solo?!)

so, this indicate that MAYBE some of the BHEAD solos will be on the record BUT Axl gave the "permission" to Ron or Richard improvise live... or this is not the finished version and the final version is diferent and not leaked


but then again, very weird leaked 2 weeks before the "real release date" a stuio version of the rumored first single...

I dont think, and I really hope this isint the final version... Some guitar solos are tured way down, then the last one is loud, so inconsistant... I think Axls voice mix is to high... I prefer the the 'demo' by alot!

[CheapJon]

I'm feeling frank on the drums, also loving all the pitmaniac on the song

[BD888]

It's true the levels are a bit strange, but you know Axl's voice was always going to be high in the mix

[axlrosegnr]

well Axl's voice is the best instrument in the band lol, so I like that he is high in the mix

Yes but they were perfect on the demo... way out of place here!

[Jackamo!]

Holy shit- Pitman OWNS this song now.

[BurningHills]

Maybe its just me, but Robin's solo at the end sounds different as well.

Yeah, I agree with you, but maybe it was done this way to cater more to the general public?

But hey, I'd love there to be an even better version on the single or album or whatever!
