You have to excuse Fernando's accent....

It isn't easy to understand what he's saying most of the time.

I wonder why they left out the drum fill before axl's last verse on the album while they still play it that way live and have since 2006

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ct0xJgwIKc0&feature=channel 3.28 in that video in that video from 09

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTn5O9G4VHc 3.47 in that video from 06

should've been around 3.50 on the studio version, you think they just forgot about recording it?

I'm really glad that's not on the studio version but I wondered the same thing you said.

And so once more; the point was that the drum fill was played from 06 on.

Seeing this song live in 06 was pure magic. I had never heard it before, and during the finale, Axl jumped ontop of the piano and just fuckin nailed it.

Amazing song.

Amazing song.

The song stuck out as a beautiful song to me as 'The Blues' when I heard it at the 12-29-01 show in Las Vegas. It was exciting and promising to hear a new and beautiful song live and in person from Axl.

Before Axl was going to play it he said "I think your gonna like this one"

And I heard this was in 2001.

But like I said I could have messed up the dates. But I know it happened in Las Vagus.

He said that before Street Of Dreams at the 01/01/01 show...

Didn't have anything to do with Better. It was first heard of when Axl mentioned it in the the Jan 2006 interview with Rolling Stone.

Lol my bad well look at that I was on topic and I didnt even know it

[One.In.A.Million]

In regards to the evolution of this song, I have to say I think every version has made the song better. I think it was the right decision to make the intro more piano based. In addition to this, the vocals and harmonys are spot on in the finished version.

I just remember how excited I was to have a studio version of this song finally, I loved it live and couldn't wait to hear it officially. The solo in this blows me away and Axls vocals are some of the strongest in my opinion.
