The HD advert works better with Paradise City, as the song fits the mood better. Edited October 21, 2006 by dobadog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although i still believe that Chinese Democracy will be a very good album, and in someways be far more interesting than the UYI albums, which between the two of them were a mixed bag of great, average and poor.

rockerman Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 (edited) Anyone else think the Paradise City is much better? The music fits the images much more appropriately. They should make a new advert based around Better- say some guy ditching his cheating partner, getting onto his Harley and rifing off into the sunset; not a bunch of stray sheep!gotta hang with you on this one. Sheep? granted the black sheep image is a nice allusion but ... I percieve better as a relationship song not a rebel yell song.sorry I didn't read down the list before I started the same topic Edited October 21, 2006 by rockerman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppelin Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 The Paradise City version was on the air at the beginning of the month people. They didn't change it overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user FKA webmoster Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 (edited) It definitly was released earlyhttp://www.harley-davidson.com/wcm/Content...sp?locale=en_USThe page says "Come back to watch Black Sheep with "Better" the new Guns N' Roses song from the forthcoming album Chinese Democracy" Edited October 21, 2006 by user FKA webmoster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
November_rain Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 I think they shouldn´t have aired the ad before it is officially released. Now it´s all over the internet and it will kill all the buzz it was suppossed to have. .And I´m sure that´s the reason why it has PC now instead.

dustindmnd2 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Here's the link. Sounds like the AFD version, but I do know Axl rerecorded the whole album, so I'll let the experts analyze.http://www.harley-davidson.com/wcm/Content...sp?locale=en_USPubes.

Zeppelin Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 It was never replaced. They have been airing the Paradise City version on TV for a while now. I've even seen it. They were probably asked to take the Better version down until they are supposed to air it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bax Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 This just doesn't add up. Better was licensed to Harley-Davidson for use in an ad, they shot the commercial, and it looked like all systems go. Then all the sudden it was replaced with PC. Why in the hell would they be holding it back? If management contacted them and asked them not to show the video with Better yet it wouldn't matter because the song has already been licensed to Harley-Davidson by Axl and Sanctuary.The only logical conclusion I can reach is that they are holding back waiting for some major event-perhaps a press release, release of a single or strategic placement of the ad in a highly rated program such as the World Series.

SWINGTRADER Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Why is it that i have never seen this Harley Commercial on TV (paradise city ) ?? I watch enough TV to not miss a major commerical like this . Does it hardly air or what ?? I live in the U.S . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takeshi Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 It's plausible to assume that the agreement that GN'R management signed with HD had a date when they could begin using the song. The ad was with "better" in it was added to their site before their license to use the song began, someone noticed the mistake and it was removed. I wish that people would drop this world series crap. Just because the subsidiary of MLB that runs the team websites is running gunsnroses.com, doesn't mean that they going to do run a commerical during the world series.

asstvp1009 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I've heard the "Better" HD version along with many others. The only thing I can say for sure is that it was a studio, mixed version of the song. Sounded pretty good, but my expectations are low at this point for the new music...it seems the album is really coming out now. rock2 rock1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
