where's izzy? Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Robin definitly did a good job on this one. The vocals on the 'now I know you better' part are really good. Also I really like the solo. Very bluesy. Anyone else really like his work on Better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the heavy bits and the screams in the middle are second to none. really captures the anger and power in Guns N Roses today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slashahaulic Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Is it odd that the best of the new songs (and in some people's opinion, the only good new song) wasn't written by Axl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quadlaser Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Is it odd that the best of the new songs (and in some people's opinion, the only good new song) wasn't written by Axl?the guitar is really lame and uninspriring (except bucket (ron's) parts), axl's melody is what makes the song.

T Patten Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Really over-rated in my opinion, not a very good song at all, it's really weak and some of the music in it is awful, Axl's voice is the only thing i like about the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustindmnd2 Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I think the guitar work on the demo is fantastic. The bad news is that it is all buckethead stuff that won't even make the final version. I think without the BH stuff, it is pretty lame. Terrible, cliche' lyrics."I know you know you know better." Come on now...Now, damn me for my independent thought. I don't dig the emperor's new clothes nor this Christina Aguilera following bunch thus far.Pubes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay410 Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 the song isnt two complicated, the verses are 3 chords, the only complicated part is the bh solo, but simple is some times good, but if axl wasnt singing this it wouldnt be as good, his voice makes this song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron said he's not rerecording anything so it's probably more likely that it'll stay.That's pretty cool then. I'm not a buckethead mark, but I think he does some pretty cool stuff with the guitar. Bumblefoot sounds like a hell of a shredder, but I guess live will be his contribution for now. I tend to think Axl is too spiteful to keep BHs stuff on, but your right, who knows?

wagnoris Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Hopefully this is a sign that Axl is more open to other band members input. I think it is a kick ass song and cannot wait to hear more if/when the album comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBear Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 It's a great song. Robin's solo is actually the best part of the song for me. He may not be the best live player, but Better and TWAT shows he's got some chops in the writing department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT WORD MEANS????????Musical arrangements my ASS!!!! Though arrangements can make a song, it sure as fucking hell doesn´t mean writing it. Arrangements is how you hear it, not WHAT you hear. and as for arranging that song. it´s so 4/4 and in the box that any idiot could arrange it.Better is simple and flameboyant. THANK GOD!!! the simplicity of it makes it a fucking powerhouse!!!That song is what NIN should´ve done. And to all of you cocksuckers who say it´s a boyband song. please READ the lyrics.Scott Weiland´s "when you look you see right through me" is a helluva lot worse!!Axl is A-League in poetry. To any idiot trying to say anything else should start READING some shit!You think that words like, "where she was while she was sleeping, in another WOMANS bed" means that the chick in TWAT is a fucking lesbian or BI are the same ppl who think Better sucks. And should seriously not try to judge poetry that is on such a higher level.You are the same ppl who WISH you were Axl, and as good as him. But he will always be two feet ahead of you. cus you fucking morons don´t understand that the another woman is the fucking wife of the guy she is cheating with... instead of saying, in another MANs bed! IDIOTS!!fucking lowposter newbie motherfuckers!and yes, I´m NOT a n00b. BAN me all you want. But I´ve been around.

sweetness Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I think its pretty overrated as a GNR song, its pop rock. But I bet the mainstream will like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
