"Better" starting to gain MAJOR steam.

[LIGuns]

i think word is spreading that a new gnr video is about to be released.  i think people remember what a major event a gnr video is, and they're excited to see how axl and the guys further broaden our ideas of what music videos can be. 

I'm looking forward to the video, but am  not expecting a triology type video..Probably will be more basic a cross between Patience and Live and Let Die..

[ppbebe]

I'm expecting to see dexter vs the Giant robo in it. 

Good news. Go Better!

[Bitch Slap Rappin]

The way I see it is like this: Remember the scene in the video Estranged where Axl jumped into the ocean and was waiting for th dolphins to come. Than he grabbed on to one and took off........well Chinese Democracy is in that ocean.....and it's waiting for one of those dolphins.................(Hey......do hear that? It sounds like dolphins whistling...........) 

[BurningHills]

Up to #12 on this week's ROCK chart (Up 2 spots from #14)

Up to #20 on this week's ACTIVE ROCK chart (Up 1 spot from #21)


 

Where did you see this information?

When I looked at All Access, they had "Better" listed at #14 on Mainstream Rock and #19 on Active Rock.

When I get back to work tomorrow, I can check Mediabase 24/7 to see what they say. I don't have access to it at home.

Cool.  I don't understand the difference  in the numbers between the two websites, though.

Do you know how often those charts are updated?  I think Mediabase updates every day.

Ali

Yeah - Mediabase keeps track of daily charting positions, whereas Radio and Records only publishes a weekly chart.

Neither song appeared on this week's Alt. chart.

[y2marmar]

I hope all of this means we'll get a video soon

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

Not a single spin reported in L.A.

 

Hometown support my ass.

Your station may not be a reporting station. I.E. - they don't report their spins to Mediabase.

Yeah, I noticed that with also with New York.  No reporting from there either.

Ali

[crow316]

L.A pretty much doesnt have a rock station.  Not since what, KNAC and 100.3 Pirate radio?  Ahh...memories.

[audjon]

Put out the video!!!

The time is now...

Nah... soon is the word

[Dot]

The song has only gained like 1 or 2 spots. I don?t know how major is that.

[Ali]

If you look at the chart, for the week it had the highest increase in spins.

Ali

[western_chaos]

Yeah, Better seems to be coming along, a slow burner perhaps.

I don't even listen to radio anymore. Too much crap on it lol.

[ShotgunBlues1978]

At least it's still climbing.  It's a good sign that its spins have increased every week

In hindsight they probably should have released it as the first single, if only because it's complex and different (and good) enough to have quelled all the "14 years for this?"  bullshit

[Jim Bob]

The song has only gained like 1 or 2 spots. I don?t know how major is that.

if you truly think its cool to come to a board about a band you don't like just to try to bring people down, you need to check your brain.

[aussiegunner]

Good shit.....

I agree NOW is the time for the video.

Which in the end, is what REALLY matters. That just says that more stations are jumping on it and putting it into heavier rotation.

Never a bad thing.

[R.B. Huckleberry]

I hear it every day on one of 3 stations: 2 out of Boston, 1 out of Providence. for such little fanfare, this one song is getting a decent amount of attention!

[Lord Kayoss]

Good shit.....

I agree NOW is the time for the video.

 

Yep.  The single is out and gaining some steam, still with no band promotion.

The time for the video is now.
