new single monday?? - Confirmed, "Better" debuts today 11/17

[Olorin]

OH YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH  

Better cranked up to eleven on a bigass stereo is tha shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!!!

Radio 1 listeners loved Shacklers, Better must have blown them away cause it sounded mindblowing!

Zane Lowe gave both songs a big fat thumbs up

a dude on gnrsweden have heard/seen a commercial for it on swedish tv about 40 minutes ago 

i'll watch tv6 all night now

Yeah, I've seen it! Right in the middle of The Simpsons 

[GNR4L]

Though on the demo after 3:24 I like Bucket's "robotic" guitar playing more.

I thought it was still there just dialed down a bit.  I thought I heard it underneath the slide guitar.

your right it is. I think its pitman's effects though not Bucket's playing.

[D]

Wait a minute, they played a studio Shackler's??


U can still hear the part I was referring to, but its mixed well with the slide which is good.

I love the song though. I think it should truly cross over nicely.

[destroier]

I think Axl listens to the fans big time.

The one thing I hated about Better was that part that sounded like a robot jacking off.

That has been replaced with the kick ass Spine breaking Slide thing..................

I usually don't like Bucket's style, but I like the masturbating robot.

Here is a much better quality stream of Better.

[dont_damn_me]

Right on, thanks that is BETTER.

looks like a clip of the video is on the widgets

[A Private Eye]

Wait a minute, they played a studio Shackler's??

Yes, then played Better about 40 minutes later. Both apparently went over very well

Your right it's still there but it's really low in the mix, but for me that part sounds better in the demo, I don't know the right word for it but there's like "call and answer" with Bucket's guitar and the rhythm guitar.

hearing Shackler's Revenge on Radio 1 tonight on a DAB radio was IMMENSE! I'd heard it before on Youtube waiting patiently for Rock Band 2 in the UK, but OMG!!

Chinese Democracy and Rock Band 2 out in a matter of couple of days - What an amazing couple of days it's going to be

Better was just added to GnR's myspace page... only a 1:30 clip of it though.

[Bandita]

Still at work and haven't heard the new version yet but they removed the synth?  Or most of it?  That's awesome, I didn't care for it at all!  

[JuicySwoos]

It is just lower in the mix

[GeraldFord]

Sounds great. Good choice.

[Axl4Prez2004]

[younggunner]

[FunkyMonkey]

From Rolling Stone...

It?s T-minus six days until Guns N? Roses? Chinese Democracy hits Best Buy shelves, and the next taste is live online. ?Better? is the second official single from the long-awaited album, and like it?s predecessor ?Chinese Democracy? it has been floating around in unfinished versions for years. Also like the first single, ?Better? feels like classic Guns N? Roses ? Rose?s growling croon in the verses could have floated out of the Use Your Illusion sessions.

Thanks for posting that link, D. The stream that was posted earlier today was horrible quality. Every 10 seconds it would pause and buffer, plus you had to deal with the female robot voice interrupting the song at random times.

I still can't wait to hear it on the radio where I can blast it on my stereo system.

I've never been a big fan of the middle section of the song. I don't mean the angry screaming, but the actual music itself. The brief solo in the middle doesn't do much for me, although I love the solo near the end of the song.
