seely Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Just a random thought i had earlier...if you had to play one and only one song from Chinese Democracy to somebody who had never heard the album, even if they are familiar with old GN'R, to convert them to the album, which one would you play them?I woul go with 'Better', as it's probably the catchiest, 'instant' song on the album, and it's heavy enough to keep a wider range of people interested. Your pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Vega Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 There Was a Time or TWAT whatever it's called. Most straightforward rock song on the album. Sleazy. Epic. Dirty lyrics and two ... dare I say it? ... classic guitar solos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakey Styley Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I've thought about making this thread before. It'd either be Better or There Was a Time depending on the person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
