JONEZY Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I think "There was a time" is an awesome song. I'm just now listening to the full version of "Better", I like it, but I have to listen to it a few more times to say if it is the 'better' of the 2.

aussie_axl Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 i said i like TWAT better, that was before i heard the full better!, i can't go past the middle part of better where axl goes fuckin nuts!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JohnUlmer Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I liked Better better (haha) before I heard the full version.TWAT has grown on me. A lot. I loved it the first time. The second, third, fourth times...not so much. Now I love it again.It's really the end I love...so amazing.I think the beginning has sections that need improvement that will hopefully be fixed/condensed on the studio version.When Axl gets to the part where it goes, "There was a time...do you want to know it all" and the other boys kick in, that song begins to kick ass all over the place. The last three and a half minutes are epic stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highvoltage Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 (edited) Nobody loves TWAT like Santana loves TWAT! The first time I heard it, I was amazed. I honestly think it's one of the best songs GNR have ever done. rock1I think I could give you a run for your money.I think it's by far best song of the leaks - way above IRS and Better. It fucking rocks -- I was amazed on the first listen. It surprises me to see so many non-fans of this track, when I think it's one of Axl's best works.

mr.Q Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I didn't like TWAT in the beginning, but listening to it several times I started to like it a lot.But still I think better is better.mr.Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highvoltage Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 you know, the intro really kills this song for meI really like the intro to be honest. It's almost a little haunting... I don't really know how i'd describe what it is I like about it. You just get the feeling that something big is going to happen as you listen to it.

Battlehawk Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Good evening ladies and gentlemen, its been quite sometime since I posted on here.In reference to Better, TWAT and IRS I would have to say that IRS and TWAT equally sound indefatigible in their own right. However, each song is unique and different. But TWAT I would say has more of a feeling but this is just my own personal opinion. I love all three songs-but TWAT and IRS I enjoy listening to the most.-Battlehawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charisteas Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 TWAT is alright. I don't really think the new material is that good. TWAT is a song that isn't quite done. It has room for improvement, especially the horrible chorus. Other then that, it's an ok song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleMac Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 TWAT is quickly becoming one of my favorite songs not only of GnR, but in general. I think it still needs some fine tuning but i absolutely love it. My playlist for the last week has been TWAT, TWAT, TWAT, IRS, TWAT, TWAT, IRS, Better, TWAT, TWAT, TWAT, Estranged... repeat... seriously.... that's probably sad but i don't care. I've also started listening to random musings from Buckethead, although i dont know why - he probably won't rejoin the band, i just think he's odd.. Herbie, plus that random flayling motion he sometimes makes like he's swatting at gnats... good stuff. Anyhow, 2 things that came to me tonight while walking the streets of Detroit. One, i was listening to TWAT walking down the street at night and its really cold here, so i got an idea for a music video. I think it would be neat to start a video with axl walking down the sunset hollywood strip late at night with all the signs lit up and flashback between current day and 1986, i dont know if they would have any footage of this, but they could just do a blue screen. And 2, the more i listen to it, the more i think Axl is talking... to himself in this song. Although, some of the lines dont necessarily follow this theory. I won't post any lyrics here, since we arent supposed to, but keep that in mind the next time you listen to it, it makes sense to me - or at least i want it to make sense. If there is any truth to this, then the music video idea i had above would certainly work well. However... i dont know how i feel about a guy with a bucket on his head doing a badass solo on the roof of the Roxy with helicopter spotlights on him... now Slash on the other hand... too bad that's the most baseless rumor i've probably ever heard in my entire life... did you hear that Kennedy was assassinated by a magic bullet?

Heiro Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I think TWAT is a great song, but I can't stop listening to Better. I've probably listened to that song 100 times in the last couple of days, and everytime I do, I notice something I hadn't before and I l like it even more. I really think Chinese Democracy is going to be the first great album of the decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmm Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 TWAT is great and I heard it twice on WAFF... But I still like to listen even more to: BEtter and The Blues (from2002).. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister_Smiley Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Ya i know that felling, even though our version isn't the real verson(that still true i think?) Anywho i love all the songs. my playlist is better, IRS and TWAT, set on repeat. lol crazy eh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
