Snowmass Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 the better video was shelved after robin wasn't around guns n rosesSo they couldn't edit one out of eight guys out? He was that prominent in the video? I highly doubt that Axls 1st video in 15+ yrs is anyone but Axl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finck6 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 the better video was shelved after robin wasn't around guns n rosesSo they couldn't edit one out of eight guys out? He was that prominent in the video? I highly doubt that Axls 1st video in 15+ yrs is anyone but Axl.robin writes better. robin created and recorded the intro and outro guitar riffs. robin did the same for the middle part with guitar. and the classic rock solo at the end of better. axl said better is a robin song. not a dj or ronald song. so yeah. i'd say that's pretty prominent. wouldn't you?

KeyserSoze Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 eh its too late. i wouldnt be excited if the video dropped. it shoulda happened 4-5 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 None of us really know what the video was, if it had a story to it or it was just live performance. Maybe whoever directed and edited it did a poor job with it. I am kind of surprised Axl didn't try to have the record company push another single when they were touring, because they had way more live footage to work with. GNR had their time "making fucking videos", and did some of the most expensive of all time. Maybe if they remaster "Welcome to the Videos" because they shot most of their videos on film, and put it out on Blu Ray, Axl can include it at that time.

Rafał Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I remember the thread where someone claimed to be in contact (via email) with the director/producer/wfse and I remember that guy saying that it was about a bird or a bird-woman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modano09 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Who would have been paying for this video anyway? I think the record company just wanted to get their money back and get the Chinese Democracy thing over with. I don't know if they cared if they made much of a profit from it, as long as they could break even and finally be rid of the whole situation.

HisRoyalSweetness Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) at least when the better video only exists in our imaginations, we can continue to believe that it doesn't suck. remember how much easier it was to believe in chinese democracy before it actually came out? it's like how orgies sound great as a fantasy, but the reality is always more complicated, conflicted and disappointing.

phaeryen Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 Axl himself was talking about this music video quite a bit. He was already late with it. But the implication he left us with, was that it was going to come out soon.What kind of a stance does /Jarmo have on Better? do you get banned from htgh for mentioning it? sometimes how he dishes out justice on his concentration camp is our only key into finding out the stance of nuGNR on some topics.
