There is no way they can quote these figures accurately, but I bet they're ballpark, close enough. The guy is obviously going to be seriously well off.

After having watched it a few more times, a few thoughts: 1. 99% of the footage looks like they gave a few people a few VHS camcorders and told them to very sloppily film their shows. I kinda like the unpolished aspect of that, it's not all glossy, but at the same time, it looks like what would happen if you randomly gave a camera to a drunk guy at a rock show and said "here, film this show!". But there is indeed some cool footage. And 2. I love how they've included everyone in the band, and it's great they included Bucket, but his footage is just so obviously tacked on, and it's even much lesser quality than the other stuff. It's like when they find an old deleted scene from a movie, found on the cutting room floor, then insert it back in. It sticks out like a sore thumb. They could've at least shown a few seconds of him interacting with someone on stage or something. Very strange.

So even if the Bucket footage was from his GNR days (which I'm a bit skeptical about) it would have to be footage of just him, which sort of defeats the purpose of having him in the video if you can't show him with the band.....

Of course it's from his GN'R days, look at the stage!

Needs Enlightenment (and therapy)

I love the irony of you implying that people who don't believe in superstition should seek therapy

I wasn't suggesting that "everyone not believing in Astrology" should get therapy,only that YOU may benefit from it.

Interesting. Why do I need therapy, then? Because I believe your irrational beliefs are...irrational? Or because I have the audacity to actually express and discuss this instead of just evading the issue because we shouldn't confuse and upset the poor guys who believe in such things by actually saying it is wrong?

Are you crying, again?

Closeup of the fans are actually from Iron Maiden concerts.

I doubt there is a Better video. Reason: It's too late in the day to release a single.

You're so clever!

Here he comes!

Not at all, furthermore, there's not a single song on the album that the band could have released a video for, that would have helped.

Is that an official statement?

You would be pretty stupid if you watched it asked who's in GNR since all the names were in the video.

that would be ......dizzy reed,chris pitman,robin finck, tommy stinson, richard fortus, bumblefoot, brian manita, frank ferrer, & buckethead.

you will note that ashba is not there, who is in the band and finck, brain and bucket are there who are no longer in the band thats 4 out of 8, half the band.

Ashba had nothing to do with Better and this I'm pretty sure was finished in 2008

Nothing get's by you!

It probably would have made the song more popular.

I don't think so. If it failed when it hit radio, a video ain't gonna help it.

Videos do help, a lot of people discover new songs via youtube etc. In fact, videos killed the radio star.

It probably would have made the song more popular.

Who's spotted the red little china man running around throughout the video? I see him once at the beginning and end.

I only saw him at the end, can you point us to his other appearances at the "begining" and "throughout the video", what times are they?

He jumps out the car quite quickly at the start, with Axl.

The most bad ass thing I've ever seen is watching Axl speed around in a Lamborghini with a police escort.

Ferrari!

I went out and got drunk, did a little blow.

i just got off work after a long day so tired but coming home to this was just great

How was work? Did you make any new friends today?

Finally got to the Parent Directory link and watched.

Not gonna lie, pretty underwhelmed.

It was cool as shit...but I feel like there's definitely a reasonable number of fans that could have done something much better if say, they had access to the same type of exclusive, high quality footage, ya know?

My 2 cents.

You're right, but the video obviously isn't finished.

I'll agree there, but at the same time..the concrete of the video is clearly there, don't see it getting THAT much better, but who knows?

Nice sig by the way ..I made that graphic, good to still see it around :xmasssanta:

I think it has some really good bits, but the performance footage is weak. I like the little aliens and the ferrari bit is cool. It's not good enough to be released though, which is maybe why it wasn't?

Oh you made that sig? Sweet, I love it... I hated that woman!

I don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

Yes, I love Leeks, have them for my breaky.

wondering were this stuff comes from. with all that "bonus material"... it's not like just even the video leaked, but all that snippets too... it has to come from someone who has access...

Gadzooks! What a theory.

This guy is seriously good...

Axl and Ashba every day of the week.

Not even close.

Axl is 100 times better than Myles at singing. Myles is good at what he does - but he sounds horrible singing GnR songs. I cringed at his Civil War performance on youtube, it was awful.

Slash is a way better guitar player than DJ.

But I mainly ilsten to bands for their singers. So I'd listen to Axl 100 days in a row before one day of Myles.

In a fight?

Who care! They are all too old to be doing that foolish stuff.

DJ is the only who brags about how much ass he kicks. I've never seen Axl, Slash or Myles bragging about fighting.

Respectfully disagree, but strictly talking about current day comparisons. In both of their primes, Axl. If this was even about 2010, I'd still say Axl over Myles. But the truth is, Myles has been giving stronger performances on a more consistent basis compared to Axl. Especially with Sweet Child. Axl can't sing that worth a damn now, and sadly, as time goes by, it seems like Axl's voice is on a downwards spiral. You can throw the youtuber thing at me if you'd like, but isn't it weird in most videos of Axl and Myles in 2012, that Myles sounds a lot stronger and energetic? I can understand his voice not being everybody's cup of tea, but speaking technically, he is a really good singer. Certainly better than what Axl's working with as of late.

And needless to say, Slash over Ashba anyday of the week, and twice on Sundays.

Did Bobbo do a poo poo in his panties? poor baby.

It's come from the company who did the VFX, presumably, those little red aliens.

Myles is so bland.

the red alien was awesome lol

Yeah he's great!

At least we now know that "a week or so" means four years, we just need to find out how long "soon" means now.

I enjoyed it, some good bits, but you can see why it wasn't released. Could be a lot better, the editing is pretty weak.

Love the beginning with Axl in his Ferrari and the end with Baz and Lars.

You're still going with this? Haha, what a baby! No one cares about your views! Shut up already!

You seem to care.

No I don't, I just enjoy playing with the mentally ill.

Give it a rest with the hostility - i don't plan on sending another friendly warning out.

I'm joking, no hostility going on here...
