'Better' is the first single from Chinese Democracy!!!

Fucking wicked, I love this song so much.

Basically it's been licensed to Harley Davidson for their new advert, and in the source code for the site there's a line saying "the new single from Guns 'N Roses".

Check out the ad here:

Whatever....that CD still isn't coming out anytime soon. Not a bad song. Kind of poppy, which might be good. At least it isn't emo like everything else that seems to be on the singles chart and passing as rock.

For those wanting to hear the whole song: http://www.goear.com/list...?v=88aaa04

I like it. Although It's definately not Gn'R as we used to know them. Nice solo towards the end.

Um...Maybe. I would say the average age of Orgers is maybe over 30....If we live to be over 100, maybe....

Its an ok tune. Problem for Mr Rose is, that after waiting 10 years, ok is just not good enough.....

You said it. sigh

It's really not Guns n Roses without, ya know, Guns n Roses, anyways. Axl does not an entire band make,

I have waited 6 years for this album, so i am going to be dissapointed no matter how good it is, I think. confused
I like the new songs I have heard so far, Better is a good song IMO.

The album is going to get killed in the Press, everyone hates Axl sad

Between "Better" and "There Was a Time (TWAT)", 2 of the 4 leaked songs have been golden. If you haven't heard "There Was a Time", find it and check it out- sorta like a hard rocking ballad with a killer solo and end bridge.
now i know what this is all about. now i know exactly what i am.

Axl's been pretty visible lately. I wouldn't be surprised to see the album released soon.

But as Meow pointed out, it's solo Axl, not Guns n Roses proper

It's Axl and his new buddies. Which, I admit, has potential to be cool. But it's just not GnR.

How do you get the 'better' version of the harley ad, I'm getting the Paradise City version.
But yeah this song is pretty cool, like nu-metal but well structured and with cool lead work. Definitely modern. "I never wanted you to be so full of anger!" That line sent a shiver down my spine first time I heard it. The 2nd half of Catcher in the Rye is awesome, TWAT is an epic, IRS is pretty cool just feels a bit simple to me, the Blues is pretty cool, bordering on cheesy but not quite, the title track I could take or leave, Madagascar is pretty good but the song I realy alot of potential in was Ryhiad and the Bedouins which was only played once or twice in 01&02.

I will support Axl with this project. I hate how the media is always giving him such a hard time.

Even when GnR switched drummers it was different, and when they lost Izzy, too. Hard to imagine GnR without Slash!

That doesn't mean I'm not interested, though.

It's been changed now, I guess the version with "better" wasnt supposed to have been shown yet or whatever, gnr's management is probably pissed at harley davidson.

Did Axl record anything with Brian May? I hope it's released if he did...surely Brian is just as good as Slash (same hair and all)
