OJones90 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 And here's me thinking Better's never sounded better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F*ck Fear Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 (edited) There hasn't been a really good vocal preformance of Better since 2010. It sucks because its a song in my top 3 from that album, which now has both Slash and Duff playing the music but it's 'meh'.

Jw224 Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 It seems like he just doesn't know how to sing it anymore haha. 34 minutes ago, RussTCB said: I was in the pit for this one which was pretty damn good: I'm just not a fan of how he sings the verses at all.

Towelie Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 The only time I ever enjoyed Axl's performance of Better live was in 2006. He's phoned it in ever since if you ask me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lies They Tell Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 This is probably the best he has sounded on Better on the whole NITL-tour. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Yea, Houston was the only good one IMO. It's a shame because he used to fucking own that song, it was a highlight of the show. They played it near the end of the 2010 show I saw, somewhere in the encore, and before the heavy breakdown part Axl ripped out his IEM/monitor thing on his waist, yells "WHO THE FUCK-" before they cut his mic, and he came back with no monitor and belted that middle section out better than I've ever heard. Better is just one of those songs that needs to be sung aggressively, or dropped (like You Could Be Mine). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jw224 Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 Ya know, I've been watching some 06 videos of Better live and I don't even like how he did it then. It still sounds reserved and weak compared to the record, as if he's just kinda plodding along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, there's only 2 full songs on youtube I think, TIL and SCOM, plus Jungle in unlistenable quality. There's clips of some other songs but not Better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a personal thing for me I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"inspiring" intro... - fuck, this intro is very boring and grooveless. Now i remember why i found a way to implode GNR... now i remember why i kept procrastinating record anything with slash and duff back in the 90s and why i was never able to record any of the "brilliant" ideas from these other guys 2 minutes later, he must have thought something like this - fuck, this intro is very boring indeed. forget about new music with these guys. no fucking way. if this is the music that slash, duff and these guys can do then id rather stick with fucking sweet child and never do a GNR album again just watched one of the videos and axl seems to be really into the intro Edited July 6, 2017 by ludurigan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
