Seriously, is the song already released offcially as a single? I didn't heard it yet on the (belgian) radio stations  Huh

Something else: Last friday evening, our poker evening among friends, I let my Friends listen to CD and about the song 'Better' they stated that this is a 'typical american song' which will be a success in the States but not in Europe.... Is there something as 'typical american type of rock'?? 

me neither, and Ive only heard a part of CD on the radio here.

american rock, yeah I guess it exists. there are many bands that are huge in the US that people in Europe barely hears about.
M?tley Cr?e for example was a lot bigger in the US than here.

I certainly hope that means that it's getting a "second push" or something. Better is not getting played at all on Detroit rock radio and I'm really hoping that changes.

Looks fake IMO. There is a real one on ebay that is different than this.

WRIF is playing it about once a day (mid-day and evenings).  And they're playing CD about twice a day (anytime outside of am).  So, GNR is getting a tiny little bit of lovin'.

Wow. I listen to WRIF alot and I have yet to hear Better. I'm not doubting you I'm just saying I must miss it all the time. I've heard CD several times since the Better single came out and it always bums me out.

Better is continuing to climb the airplay charts, seems like the grass roots approach is actually working fairly well at least for the time being

Everyone do your part and request it at your local stations and on the Sirius/XM stations too ok

Grassroots in some ways seems the way to go. Once the hype's died down, casual listeners will be able to appreciate the music for what it is.

Haven't heard it but I only listen to music radio once in a blue moon.  I've requested Better and CD at KROQ.com a number of times though

Every now and then I check KROQ and STAR to see if they play any GN'R.  I've heard CD a bunch of times, but haven't heard Better yet.

We can request, but when idiot DJ's like Nicole Alvarez say they refuse to play new GN'R songs because they "suck" there is not much we can do.

It's currently at #25 on the rock charts.  It's been moving up about 5 spaces a week since it was released

I see it at #16 on Mainstream Rock and #25 on Active Rock.  It is moving up pretty well.  Hopefully that will have a somewhat stabilizing effect on the album sales.
