I'm a huge Other fan btw.

The stupidity on this board is at an all-time high. It's not 2 different songs ya fucking dumb fucks. Listen to the fucking lyrics. And if you can't understand them how the fuck do you consider yourself a G 'N R fan.

Y'all are being so stupid. Listen to the lyrics ya morons. It's definitely all "Better" and it's a good song.

...the only way to truely see what band was best live was to have the bands play the exact same sets.. which is impossible. The only alternative is to see who is more popular...
By which measure, Britney Spears would probably beat both Gn'R and Maiden.
Which is why I said the only TRUE way was to have each band play the same set and like it or not, if 50 billion people like britney spears is better than G N' R compared to 10 million feeling the opposite, I could accept that and continue liking G N' R more, I'm not gonna go buy a britney cd.

DJ on WAAF said he will play a new song of GNR, and said "not that (IRS), another one" ... ill be tuned.

Umm, you're welcome to your opinion, but you are most definitely in the minority. G 'n R in their prime was much much MUCH better than Iron Maiden. Hell I don't even like Iron Maiden at all and wouldn't give a nickle for one of their cds. But that's my opinion. See how that works?
Well, this is a matter of opinion, that's true. But some opinions are biased and uniformed.
Gn'R and Maiden have been my favorite bands since 1988 when I first discovered both of them (around the same time.) Like I said, I think that AfD is better than most Iron Maiden studio albums, and if you take only the good stuff from UYI I&II, then that would probably be better than *any* Iron Maiden studio album. But, of course, Maiden has released 13 studio album during their career while Gn'R has only released 3.5 (LIES only counts half) -- Maiden released 7 albums since the release of AfD. So it isn't surprising that Maiden's material tends to be more diluted and spread out.
In any case, whatever you may think about the relative qualities of the studio albums, there is simply no contest between their live shows. I haven't actually counted, but Iron Maiden has played probably 10x more live shows that Gn'R, and probably 100x more live shows that the current line-up. It is neither surprising, nor is it a dig against Gn'R to recognize that Iron Maiden is a better live band.
I do not care if they were the best ever, it doesn't matter if I don't like the music. To me, nobody will ever put on a better show than Guns N' Roses or Pearl Jam. They're my two favorite bands, and the only way to truely see what band was best live was to have the bands play the exact same sets.. which is impossible. The only alternative is to see who is more popular... well, we all know Maiden would lose that one. It sucks being in the minority at times, but hey.. I respect the fact you like maiden. I wish I liked more bands than I do, I'd never run out of music to enjoy listening to.

shut up don´t talk like that about Axl!
Axl Rose is not God. He fucks up sometimes and it's okay to say so and at RIR his voice sounded like crap. I like the new songs and I'm looking forward to the new album (if it ever comes out), but that doesn't mean that I'm blind to the fact that Axl sucked at RIR (and throughout most of the 2001-2002 tour).
I sort of agree.
I thought that show was loaded with problems. I think the new songs sound great, but I was not really impressed with hardly any of the old ones from this show. 'Live And Let Die' and 'You Could Be Mine' are especially weak.
Listen to The Blues from Boston '02 and tell me he doesn't still have his voice.. (gave me the chills the first time I heard it, awesome song) I think he's still got the voice. Just have to keep in mind he's 44 now and not in shape (his voice that is)... I'm sure he's been working on it, or I hope so at least.

Besides, Iron Maiden is also an excellent band. They're especially an excellent live band and their RIR performance in 2001 was unbelievable. (as was their RIR performance back in 1985) Guns n' Roses have never been that good. Sorry to upset you, but its a fact. AfD might be better than most Iron Maiden studio albums, but get these bands on a stage in front of an audience, and there is no contest.
Now piss off...

Simple, either Wes is full of shit or the guy who says he asked Wes is full of shit. The heavier part of the song is just that... part of the song. And it's great. All these stupid fucks aren't even paying attention to the lyrics.
