Official Release of "Better" Played on Radio?
A new version of Guns N' Roses song "Better" have been played the last couple of days on the Texas-based radio station Q94.5Rocks.
People who have contacted the station have been told that this is not a demo nor the leak that have been circulating on the internet. According to the them, this is an official release (radio edit) of "Better" sent to them by Guns N' Roses' record company to play in heavy rotation. Ever since they started playing the new "Better" it's the most requested song.
The radio station is about a two hour drive from Monterrey, Mexico, where Guns N' Roses will kick off their 2007 World Tour on June 2nd this Saturday.
Thanks to: Big Pat

Excuse me were is the f-ing song there on the site. It were rhere before.
5/30/2007 | 12:35:14 PM by Wii
They do play it alot.... check the logs....
http://www.yes.com/log/?station=KFRQ&day=1&hour=17
They also said the last tim they played the leaked demo, they got a cease and desist order.. but this time it's all approved... I dbout they'd risk playing that many times if they wern't allowed to..
5/30/2007 | 12:59:10 PM by Me
Very cool indeed!
Big Pat, what would we do without you?
5/30/2007 | 1:07:12 PM by SLASH WITHOUT CASH
I don't belive my eyes and ears FUCKING SHIT THIS IS A DREAM?

Cheers

TODAY IS 30TH OF MAY 2007 SO HISTORICAL DAY OF NEW GUNS'N'ROSES. ANY IDEAS TO CELEBRATE THAT. I HOPE IN THE NEAREST FUTURE WE'RE GONNA READ INFORMATION, OF COURSE OFFICIAL INFORMATION, ABOUT LAST VERSION OF "BETTER". Unfortunately gunsnroses.com is still far asleep. So do not disturb. Good night.
5/30/2007 | 1:16:12 PM by SLASH WITHOUT CASH
I think that on this World Tour we're gonna hear the next realise date of the album. I hope that this September will be the best option. AXL WE'RE WAITING FOR NEXT STEP. 2nd July is on this weekend so just read information on this forum. Something is moving on...
5/30/2007 | 1:42:43 PM by BUCKETHEAD KFCMan
All I ever wanted was...Chinese Democracy!!!
5/30/2007 | 1:44:12 PM by BUCKETHEAD KFCMan
And you know what I did big mistake when I said goodbye to Axl and this band.
5/30/2007 | 1:59:39 PM by PennyLane
I hope this is a good sign that things (especially the album release) are moving forward! It all looks very promising at the moment.
But then again, things looked very promising last year, and even before that. As I already said in another thread, I do believe that we'll get this album some day and I'm looking forward to listening to it. But at the same time I am still sceptical about this all, it happened so many times before that hopes were raised and then crashed again.. And I'm really tired of that. Tired of getting excited and then nothing happens, over and over again...
I hope that GnR get their shit together, finally, and we will see the album some time this year. I would buy it anyway, even if it only gets released in 5 years or whenever.
But until then I remain sceptical, and only believe it when I see the cd in stores.
5/30/2007 | 2:04:04 PM by Shop assistant
Sorry but I don't have any news about Chinese Democracy. Can I help you in other things ?
5/30/2007 | 2:10:53 PM by Customer
Liquors and Whores, where can i find em?
5/30/2007 | 2:12:43 PM by SLASH WITHOUT CASH
It's hard to interpret this sort of information after those 14 or 16 years so just relax Penny and all of you Fans of Guns. Good job Big Pat and thanx one more time for info. I know that you asked a man form music buissness about this thing, is it true? You are number 1 on this forum.
On the other hand, we should wait on the 2nd of July and qwe're gonna know more that right now. Rest are only speculations.
5/30/2007 | 2:14:19 PM by Shop assistant
Sorry but this is music shop or if you want more info Guns N Roses shop.
5/30/2007 | 2:15:54 PM by SLASH WITHOUT CASH
Sorry for those language mistakes.
5/30/2007 | 2:23:29 PM by PennyLane
I'm totally relaxed, Slash w/o Cash, I'm just sceptical, don't want to get excited for nothing. If things are moving forward now it's all good, and if not, well then they are not moving forward..and the world will still keep on turning :)
It's just that, at this point, I don't want to speculate, get excited etc, and I only believe it when I see the album in the stores.. Que sera, sera.
5/30/2007 | 2:35:20 PM by Me
IMO this means something. I'm not sure what, cause I don't know how these things work, but something.
5/30/2007 | 2:57:48 PM by the swede

So much going on in here ... hi Me, PennyLane
5/30/2007 | 3:16:26 PM by Me
Hi she-rocks! A little late this morning, missy? How are ya?
5/30/2007 | 3:21:50 PM by She-rocks
Phone call late into the night ... 3 hours!!!!
5/30/2007 | 3:23:01 PM by She-rocks
How's you? Enjoying a day off???
5/30/2007 | 3:25:51 PM by chris
Just spoke to Q 94.5 DJ and he no longer has the song better. He said he did not think it was an oficial release and thinks the prev DJ might have gotten word to stop playin the song. He said to listen later tonight to the same radio show and see if it is played again. I just do not know what to believe! I hate to bring bad or negative news, I just wanted to let everyone know what I was just told 2 minutes ago. Hope everyone is doing well and lets keep hopping for the best.
5/30/2007 | 3:26:52 PM by Me
Damn she-rocks, you'll have to email me about that phone call. I've decided to take the rest of the week off, actually. Strange, I get more done that way.
5/30/2007 | 3:27:43 PM by She-rocks
But for how long ... my balance isn't as good as it used to be !!!!!!!!
5/30/2007 | 3:30:05 PM by Me
OK she-rocks. I don't get that post at all.
5/30/2007 | 3:34:43 PM by She-rocks
Hopping ... one foot ... balance ... ok just my weird humour
5/30/2007 | 3:43:23 PM by Me
Gotcha...ha ha ha
5/30/2007 | 3:53:02 PM by BP
Hey Chris, that is somewhat strange to hear. I spoke to two different guys at the station yesterday. Both said it was official. Of course we have heard similar stuff before.
I have a call in to the General Manager. We will get the real news of this.
Please keep in mind the morning show is a canned show. By that its programed where all music is done prior to air time. Even if they wanted to play Better, the couldnt. So lets wait and see.
Me, Im looking for you on messenger.
5/30/2007 | 4:04:13 PM by chris
I hope you'r right, the guy I spoke to last night was a little weird and seemed to be clueless. He had no idea if it was a final version or a real release.
I think u r right about the programing cuse the dj this morning said he did not have it to play and thinks the demo was hidden. So what ever all that means. Lets face it GNR = drama... I have to admit it seems weird that there would be no press release for this though
5/30/2007 | 4:04:55 PM by new gnr
"PATIENCE" is playing right now..no sign of better..take care everyone...
5/30/2007 | 4:19:39 PM by shw
anywhere i can hear the new version??
5/30/2007 | 5:03:44 PM by PennyLane
Hello everybody, and thanks BP and chris for getting and sharing your info!
I know I am repeating myself, but this whole GnR drama is getting annoying. Some say this, others say that, and in the end nobody really knows anything. I'm sick and tired of this lack of official information, of speculating, hoping and wishing. Why is it so difficult for GnR to keep their fans at least a little bit updated, why do they let rumours be floating around instead of saying just something about the current status of the album, why...??? If they need that to create some hype to keep themselves relevant, then this is sad. But whatever it is, let the music speak for itself!
I'll be in line when the cd gets released, but I am so annoyed of this GnR soap opera!!!
Sorry for my little rant, I'll stop now :)
Take care everybody!
5/30/2007 | 5:06:34 PM by -
I hear you PennyLane, let's just hope there is a line to stand in when the album is released.
5/30/2007 | 5:23:28 PM by chris
I agree with you PL! This whole gnr stuff is total crap. I called a local station here in Jackaonville, fl Planet Radio 107.3 and spoke to the DJ/ program director on air and he said they have received nothing from the label at all. He said he would look into it and will play it as soon as they receive something official.
5/30/2007 | 5:30:19 PM by Me
I agree, but if we didn't have the drama, this forum would be really boring. There would be no need to check for updates and information and not a whole lot to talk about. Then again, I didn't go to bed last night so maybe I'm the only one that makes any sense to. It does get annoying at times, but I must say I like the mystery and drama. But hey, that's just Me.
5/30/2007 | 5:42:12 PM by chris
me, you have a good point... In the end we could be talking about a new GNR song on the radio, a new release date, a new gnr tour, but instead we are talkin about a buch of rumors... Oh well at least I am not working, right?
5/30/2007 | 5:50:50 PM by Me
Chris....get to work! I didn't give you the day off, mister!
5/30/2007 | 5:53:42 PM by Me
OK, where is Big Pat? I think he's cheating on us with other forums. I want some information. I won't stand for this.
5/30/2007 | 6:12:39 PM by Horny Toad
They just said that this version of "Better" is actually a 2004 demo.
5/30/2007 | 6:14:20 PM by Big Pat
The song is coming up in the next 10 mins, so get ready.
5/30/2007 | 6:17:33 PM by Big Pat
Well that is interesting. Different than what I was told last night. I'm still curious as to how they are allowed to continue to play it? Doesn't make sense to me.
5/30/2007 | 6:19:15 PM by Me
Right? They have got to have the OK from somewhere to still be playing it.
5/30/2007 | 6:30:07 PM by Me
Oh my God, has anyone looked at the results from the Poll that station is taking. That's hilarious. Shit, Axl needs to run for President!
5/30/2007 | 6:31:36 PM by BP
No shit, once the GnR faithful saw it, look out. Bet its the biggest vote getter they have ever had.
5/30/2007 | 6:34:10 PM by Me
WTTJ is playing. OK, the dj is a prick and he's toying with us.
5/30/2007 | 6:35:09 PM by Radio
Wow, that's a pretty cool new version of Better! Actually sounds a bit like Welcome to the Jungle, lol
5/30/2007 | 6:37:19 PM by Me
YAY!!!!!! There it go!!!!!
5/30/2007 | 6:37:54 PM by Radio
Ah, there it is!!! Two songs in a row, thats Better!
5/30/2007 | 6:38:13 PM by Me
Alright, why did he just say it's a Q-exclusive?
5/30/2007 | 6:41:55 PM by Axl FTW!
Freaking amazing!
DEMOCRACY.
IS.
COMING...
5/30/2007 | 6:45:56 PM by chris
I heard that too... Kinda weird they would only release the song to one station... Maybe it is a test, like when they release new movies to certain theatres, then go nation wide. Any way the song sounded pretty damn good.
5/30/2007 | 6:46:32 PM by Radio kills the video star
Yaaay!! So what is this? The radio single? Official? Even if it's just a demo, listening to it on the radio just fucking rocks, no need to change anything to it!
5/30/2007 | 6:48:04 PM by Me
It does sound good but I happen to be fond of the funky noises in the middle. They add depth.
5/30/2007 | 6:50:36 PM by Radio kills the video star
Yeah but thats what they always do with radio versions, cutting off the best parts. but still it fucking rocked to hear it on radio and not just on my comp!
5/30/2007 | 6:54:06 PM by Axl FTW!
Me, I personally like those noises as well. If this is legit, maybe its a radio edit. Hopefully the album version will be the longer arrangement that we're used to.
5/30/2007 | 6:58:30 PM by Me
Whatever the end result, they are obviously being allowed to play this. I see that as a very good and very welcome sign.
5/30/2007 | 7:01:30 PM by Raleigh, NC
Just spoke with the DJ to request the song again. He said it was not an official release....he said they are playing it simply because they have it. Not sure exactly what that means. Maybe it is actual the album version. Who knows. I havent heard this version yet....is there a distinct difference?
5/30/2007 | 7:03:45 PM by SLASH WITHOUT CASH
"Better" can be better?
5/30/2007 | 7:05:24 PM by Stevie
They left out the middle part, it's basically similar to the version we heard already, without the Pitman stuff in it, and some minor changes.
Hm, so that could mean they have the leak and edited it for radio.. then it wont take long until the hear from gnr laywers!
Bloody cool radio station i must say!
5/30/2007 | 7:07:51 PM by Album vs single
singles always get shortened and edited for radio, album versions are usually longer
5/30/2007 | 7:12:02 PM by SLASH WITHOUT CASH
Hey everyone on this forum,
I only would like to know if this version of "Better" is the last version so "CD" version of song. Please answer, maybe give notes from 1 to 10 it's gonna be the best way of answer that question.
5/30/2007 | 7:19:20 PM by Me
God, I love this radio station. We don't have a cool station like this. : (
5/30/2007 | 7:26:35 PM by BUCKETHEAD KFCMan
So when Guns gonna be in US tour again maybe then we 're gonna have "Better" in our radiostation
5/30/2007 | 7:27:58 PM by SLASH WITHOUT CASH
Me what do you think about "Radio Gaga"?
5/30/2007 | 7:30:17 PM by Me
Thats funny Slash W/o. : )
5/30/2007 | 7:46:35 PM by Me
Holy Crap!!! They said it's coming up, again.
5/30/2007 | 7:54:07 PM by Me
Uhm, if anyone wants to hear it again, its playing right now.
5/30/2007 | 7:59:43 PM by Schmidthead
They just finished playing Better and said, "It's a Q exclusive if you will." Whatever that means.
5/30/2007 | 8:05:27 PM by Roger Hornsby
Don't you guys think that if the album were coming out this year at all we'd know about it for sure by now!! For Christ sakes......we're on the verge of a world tour that will likely get shut down at some point if history is any indication with this band, and there is absolutely no official word on the album. Doesn't it occur to anyone that the reason we haven't heard anything substantial on the status of this album is because it hasn't been turned in?? Or even more likely hasn't even been completed/produced or mixed??? If memory serves me correctly this isn't even the CHINESE DEMOCRACY WORLD TOUR, That title was given by over zealous (and rightfully so) fans and media outlets. Wasn't the real name as issued by the official source, GUNS N' ROSES 2007 WORLD TOUR. Folks please stop the insanity!!!! I know you all want this album as do I but let's face the facts...IT AIN'T HAPPENING AT ALL....NOT THIS YEAR PROBABLY NOT NEXT......PROBABLY NEVER!!! Or at least until Universal/Geffen sues Axl Rose for fraud and for misappropriation of it's investment in this album. The best case scenario as I see it is that this tour is just a way to continue funding this "Joke on the Fans" elusive album. That's right we're all being fucking punked!!! Flame me if you must, but the cold water from this sad, disappointing and disgraceful reality woke me up a long time ago. Don't tell me to leave either because I'm so unhappy because I won't. I, like most people can't turn away from an impending train wreck!!!FUCK THIS BAND!!!
5/30/2007 | 8:33:57 PM by SLASH WITHOUT CASH
It's fantastic when everybody are waiting for "Better" in the radio, but don't forget about forum
5/30/2007 | 9:00:22 PM by F MTL
DO FUCK THIS BANF AXL INSTEAD, THE SAME GUY WHO FUCKED GNR UP BACK IN 1990
5/30/2007 | 10:03:03 PM by "Real Deal" Neil
Couldn't have said it "Better" myself Roger Hornsby! I agree to the T.
5/30/2007 | 10:09:08 PM by Yoo
Hey Big Pat do you know when they are gonna play Better again on radio.
Thanks for all BP
5/30/2007 | 10:43:25 PM by BP
its on now
5/30/2007 | 10:44:50 PM by Me
DJ just announced the show in Monterrey MX. and is playing Better, again. Says its a single from the album due to be released before the end of October. Just quoting. Nobody shoot the messenger.
5/30/2007 | 10:45:50 PM by BP
I will shoot you
5/30/2007 | 10:46:34 PM by Me
God, someone needs to.
5/30/2007 | 10:49:41 PM by Yoo
It sounds good. fuck the Guns are start to roling.
5/30/2007 | 10:53:57 PM by Kent
Waited all day to hear it on Qrock. Wow!Finally something to be excited about! This song is now complete. Just shows you that all this mixing and fine tuning is paying off. This version is 100% better than the leaked version a few months back.
5/30/2007 | 10:54:19 PM by mar37grados
I have just heard it also. It sounded a bit noisy, but it is maybe because of my speakers. I have recorded it with cool edit pro, so that I will listen to it again.
And I also have recorded the dj saying it is a release from the new album due out before the end of october. You will have to shoot another messenger, sorry.
Keep it up. I want to buy that single, Axl, announce the release of it worldwide, man!
I have never bought a single, but this I will, for sure.
5/30/2007 | 10:58:05 PM by BP
Okay heres a little news. I was just told the DJ earlier today that said it may be a 2004 demo was inaccurate. He didnt know where it came from. He got the wrong information from someone that called him on the phone. A know it all fan. Surprise surprise!
Think about this, its been running for two days. Think management would let that happen if it wasn't approved?
5/30/2007 | 10:59:29 PM by BP
Not to be a downer, but remember not to ask for or post links to songs on the site.
5/30/2007 | 10:59:57 PM by alex
shit...i'm soo excited!!!:)
5/30/2007 | 11:01:04 PM by BP
Chicago station says they have official version and are playing it.
Just heard
5/30/2007 | 11:02:44 PM by scoot
its on :O it sounds very similar, but could do with harder heavier guitar parts
good god YES they also mentioned that the song (im not sure about the album but the song for sure) was set for release in october. kinda far away, but i could care less, its getting closer and closer-also to me at least Axl's voice sounds much more clear
5/30/2007 | 11:07:09 PM by BP
Its okay, I dont need an apology!!!!
5/30/2007 | 11:10:58 PM by Clue
Someone just posted this on a GNR forum:
"I HAVE JUST CONFIRMED WITH THE DJ AT 97.9 LOOP IN CHICAGO THAT THEY ALSO HAVE RECEIVED THE OFFICIAL SINGLE OF BETTER!!!!..... AND I HAVE REQUESTED TO HAVE IT PLAYED...........
YOU CAN CALL THEM AND ASK YOURSELF - 312-591-7625"
5/30/2007 | 11:13:31 PM by Me
Damn BP, I always knew you were the shit!!!
5/30/2007 | 11:16:25 PM by x
IS THERE A VIDEO CLIP ????????????????????????
5/30/2007 | 11:17:05 PM by BP
CHINESE DEMOCRACY STARTS NOW!!!!!!
even though its just an old demo
Ha ha ha
5/30/2007 | 11:29:59 PM by BP
You are joking? Right x?
5/30/2007 | 11:49:08 PM by chris
here is something really weird... With all the stuff goin on today I decided to check out kroq's website and see if they have "better." I went to the section "request a song" under GNR the 2 songs listed are WTTJ and IRS???? IRS??? Well i requested so we shall see what happens
5/30/2007 | 11:58:17 PM by "Real Deal" Neil
Just got off the phone with our local MN rock station and they said they don't have anything official from GNR and haven't heard anything. His exact words were "there is a lot of BS when it comes to GNR.
They were playing the leaked version a few weeks ago until he said he got the "cease and desist" order from the GNR camp. Just thought I'd share.
5/31/2007 | 12:03:01 AM by Name
The tour dates have just been added to the official website; maybe there'll be another update on the site later...
5/31/2007 | 12:12:40 AM by Roger Hornsby
Folks-
It is not my desire nor wish to preempt all this excitement. BUT REALITY CHECK TIME!!!
I'm calling BULLSHIT on everything presented so far. This the same demo gleaned of the internet and edited down in light of the upcoming tour for everyone's edification and soon to be dashed hopes.
Again.....No album in 2007 from Axl Rose and his merry band of substitute teachers. Furthermore no Chinese Democracy in 2008, 2009, or even 2010. When it happens.....IF IT HAPPENS.....we will all know for certain synchronously from reliable sources. NOT FROM SOME FUCK FACE DJ IN BUTT FUCK EGYPT!!!!
5/31/2007 | 12:15:42 AM by Jack
No shit, the radio DJ admitted it was a demo from 2004.
5/31/2007 | 12:17:11 AM by Tracey

No wonder nobody like you..
5/31/2007 | 12:32:37 AM by Axlismydad
They haven't played the song in Chicago on 97.9 the Loop.
5/31/2007 | 12:35:26 AM by Me
Enough arguing already. I say believe what you want to believe and let everyone else believe what they want to believe. If I want to hear a sermon about what somebody else believes, I'll go to fucking church. FUCK!!
5/31/2007 | 12:43:40 AM by Aziz
Take your negative shit somewhere else Hornsby. Discuss yes, but quit your fucking preaching. What did Axl hurt you a long time ago? Shit. Bitch bitch bitch!
5/31/2007 | 12:46:24 AM by BP
Jack, as I said earlier, if you read the posts. The mid day dj said he wasnt for sure, that it may be a demo from 2004. I spoke to the P.D. at the station, he said the dj got his info from a caller. probably from one of the many many know it alls that do nothing but complain about GnR.
As Me has said, let people enjoy and discuss.
5/31/2007 | 12:48:07 AM by Big Pat
Sure in a heavy rotation for a demo. Wonder why they havent pulled it yet?
5/31/2007 | 12:50:48 AM by Jack
The DJ confirmed about 7:00 GMT that it was a demo from 2004 and then went on a rant about how it might sound different on Chinese Democracy and how great it ('Better') will be.
5/31/2007 | 12:52:12 AM by The Marquis
Right on Me. Well said !!!!!!!!!
5/31/2007 | 12:55:12 AM by Roger Hornsby
Sorry. I won't rant anymore.

Oh I know. Its just funny thats all. Some are very quiet in here.
5/31/2007 | 2:35:33 AM by BP

my best friend dated Kerry King in 1988. She dropped out of college and moved to arizona to live in his mansion there. then after a few months he dumped her to get back with his ex wife (or girlfriend, whatever). it was funny when she left college her grade point average was. 666, no kidding. anyway, we also partied with Exodus if anyone has heard of them, almost went to Colorado with them but had final exams and we were good girls and did the exam thing instead. Anyone heard of David Garza in Austin, there's 2 of them actually, the more famous one, and the one who was guitarist for Dangerous Toys for a while. I boinked him too.

Sorry folks, but this is my final post here. I've had enough.
This whole GnR "Chinese Democracy" thing is a joke. Do you realize how all of you (myself included from time to time) are basically picking at any scrap of GnR thrown in your direction? Axl mentions March 6th and everybody in collective unison chants "Chinese Democracy starts now". What happened? Nothing!!! No Chinese Democracy.
Radio stations (including the one I listen to in Sacramento which played Better for almost a week before they got a cease and desist letter) play old demos and again, the rabid masses chant "Chinese Democracy starts now"!!!! "Chinese Democracy starts now"
I still call bullshit.
Hell, I just read that some radio station is now giving a tentative release date of "by October". And what do the collective masses do again??? Chant "Chinese Democracy starts now". But, like all other previous tentative release dates given for this joke of an album, it has no basis in reality! The only reality will be when the label announces it and believe me, you will know if that happens. None of this bullshit that one or two radio stations in this country are playing songs (official they say and then tell you it might be a demo) and are just biding their time until they get a cease and desist order. When a single comes out, EVERY damned rock station in the world will have it at the exact same time and they will all probably play it. And you know what? There will be no question as to whether or not it is from the record label. If there is a question like that coming up, then it is not official.
So, I would have to agree with "Real Deal" in that the only way this thing is going to come out is when the label sues Axl for it. By then, it really won't matter anymore anyway, because what few fans Axl had left will have died from old age waiting for the mythical album that never was.
If by chance a member of the band is reading this, then you can repeat what I said word for word to Axl. He has made a joke of the name GnR and continues to do so with each new day. Now, I can hear people saying "but we are so close to Chinese Democracy coming out". My answer is no we aren't. We have been hearing that for Axl Rose since 2000 and here we are 7 years later hearing demos from 2004 or earlier.
Whatever, I am done with this.
I want to say thank you to the few people in here who have made me smile from time to time (S.W.O.C., "Real Deal" Neil, "Me", "Split66" "Penny Lane" "Cocaine Tongue" and even Josh Jones and GnR4ever and last but not least "Private Gomer"), and kept me on my toes during debates. I know of at least one who I consider a good friend and that person knows how to find me.
And last but not least, this is for "Aziz", or should I say "Big Pat" You have really shocked and disappointed me over the last month or so. What is with using other names to insult people on here??? Why the fuck can't you do it under your own damned name??? And don't go playing dumb because I have the e-mail from you stating that you are "Aziz" Remember, you made "Aziz" up when Gomer made some racist comment a while back??? That is another reason I am leaving. All the constant shit talking.
Whatever. I'm out!

5/31/2007 | 5:12:00 AM by chris
Well Brandon, even though i do not post very often i will mis reading yours. Why take all this so personally??? I too think it is really weird only 1 station in the whole world right now is playing the song. Maybe it is real, maybe it is not. In the end just enjoy what we have and what gnr once was...
Who cares if it ever comes out? Sure we are all curious and would like to see Axl back on top with new material... But in the end Axl is just some guy non of us know, that makes more money in one year off royalties than most will make in a lifetime. One day Axl will release this album, but if he does not it is nothing personal just his business decision.
5/31/2007 | 6:18:59 AM by release the alubm already!!!!
im sick of this bullshit, ohh a new verision is it real or not ohh shit lets quickly all download it then we find out it aint the real version. Fucking axl had better release this fucking album soon or he can fuck off. By the time its release all the songs will be differnet from the ones were used to and will sound shit to us cos weve been listenin to the other versions for so fucking long and grown to love those versions.
5/31/2007 | 6:19:03 AM by GNRReunioneventually
FINALLY
IT HAS BEGUN
CHINESE DEMOCRACY IS UPON US
is there a link to any where where i can hear this new version of the Single?
Big Pat?
any one?
this is a historical day indeed for the G'n'R comunity
\m/
5/31/2007 | 6:22:15 AM by chris is a knob
hey chris , no1 cares if he never brought out another album, but for 12 years dont go tellin eveyron theres a new album and go on chinese democracy world fucking tours with the promise of a new album. If he is never going to release it , let us fucking know so we dont keep having to come on sites like this shit one, (cos gunsnroses.com is laughable) for nothing , if he doesnt bring this shit out hes wasted alot of plps time.
5/31/2007 | 6:26:27 AM by split66
Brandon.. sorry to see you go away.. really I am. Stay in touch with an email from time to time if you feel up for it. pees bro.
5/31/2007 | 6:31:05 AM by dsp
Brandon was on the money, this whole site is sad. Everyone wants to get into a big discussion over rumours axl has taken a shit. Were all slaves to axls fucking bullshit. Should all save our time and just wait untill we hear this piece of shit advertised then we know it really out. THis is just bullshit and axl may have the most kickass voice ever and be a great performer and great songwriter, but mabye most notable of all , he is a fucking knob. Im out to, not gunna check this site everyday no more.
5/31/2007 | 7:43:40 AM by The Misty Highman
Further to what dsp wrote above there is a rumour on the net Axl just did a massive shit in his gold toilet...
Im going to see 'Axl's Chinese Democracy Production Costs tour' on the 23rd June in Australia.
Essentially i have stopped waiting for the album and now im just looking forward to the concert.
Much like everyone else who has frequented this site in the past year or so (or longer) i have enjoyed the leaks but found it disturbing that so many have surfaced without any trace of a release date. I think ultimately the harder Axl tries to keep it secret, the more likely things are going to leak - you cant keep a good album down.
Like most die-hard GNR fans my support is unconditional and i will wait for the release. Axl owes me nothing as he has already given the world allot of great songs and i've always thought he was the genius prick that you love to hate anyway.
I can understand the frustrations of Brandon etc but i can also understand the realities of what may be happening in the GNR camp. There is little doubt he is touring to re-coup losses from the recording of the album - an album that most likely should have been released several years ago. The truth is - I dont care. GNR could have self destructed in 1996 and then there would have been no more GNR - EVER (as Gomer is fond of writing)...Ultimately what i am trying to say is - I hate Axl Rose...but i cant wait to hear his new GNR album...
5/31/2007 | 8:07:36 AM by nando
this site is like a soap opera, like ive said many times why does anyone take strangers opinions so personally, site should be for fun and info. if you enjoy the drama more power to you....if not, probably the wrong site to look at...........
5/31/2007 | 9:01:52 AM by nando
that Brandon forgot to mention me.....wtf...these dramatic exits and comebacks are as funny as gnr not releasing the album, site is about rumors and guessing and suffering (in a make believe sort of way) so when can we start a pool for when Brandon comes back? next he will say that he is actually Big Pat and was in a coma, and that was his twin that was shot not him, or posessed by aliens, all are possible on this site, and who cares why someone checks the site maybe its to escape mundane or reality and have a laugh, what is wrong with that, i love people who insult the site and the people on it, while they are on it, that makes a lot of sense......if you hate the site you would not even be bothered by its existence, cause you would never check it......big applause for the long winded
5/31/2007 | 9:07:16 AM by SLASH WITHOUT CASH
Hey everyone,
I must say that I'm little bit disgusting. Why ? because on this forum is not the only problem that Fans of Guns say goodbye to all of us little Crazy optimistic people who are looking for fantastic time talking about you know what... GunsNRoses and music. I can read for example this kind of information:
"Gunsnroses.us is coming back very soon. Meanwhile you can discuss on (chinesedemocracy.com)"
How can I interpret this? I know that maybe I don't have a right in this point but this is begining of end. Maybe I'm crazy kind of person but on the other hand I belive that there is always a chance to big comebacks. First I should relax and think about decisions of Fans of Guns. 14 or 16 years being together with band-ghost who is only playing concerts without cd is strange to be with?
5/31/2007 | 9:07:58 AM by x
Looking forward to sat !
5/31/2007 | 9:20:12 AM by SLASH WITHOUT CASH
However, I'm in this new project of Guns 'N' Roses even if it will called " Jump on a Himalayas", I AM IN...I WILL WAITING EVEN NEXT DECADE...BECAUSE I AM CRAZY CAT AND FAN OF GUNS!!!
You can called this statement as a sickness/illness or different as you wish. But don't get me wrong this cd will appear in the nearest future...?!
5/31/2007 | 9:29:17 AM by SLASH WITHOUT CASH
Hey now on our fantastic radiostation I can hear not "Better" but "Welcome to the Jungle" so I went back to the 1987 and AFD

I can't believe I'm staying up to try to catch the song. Good thing i'm off today. I hope its the real deal, not the demos i've been hearing.
5/31/2007 | 10:37:41 AM by jimbo
Dis album has taken for ever and it still ain't out. No doubt Rose is a genious but he needs to sort his life out big time!!Im sick of hearing o it's comin ou on dis date and dat date and then the closer u getto the release we always get some lame ass excuse of a sob story. He says der 'better' than Velvet Revolver, wel i wud like to think so bu u can't jus say dat nd produce nothin!!dats like the athlete who claims to be d best in the world bu dosen compete!!!
5/31/2007 | 11:36:40 AM by the swede
on wich station will it maby be played?
5/31/2007 | 12:31:49 PM by BP
Good morning all! Are they still playing Better on the radio station? Who knows how long it will last, but it sure has been fun.
5/31/2007 | 12:51:20 PM by Me
Good Morning. Just woke up myself. Looks like emotions were running high last night. Oh for Christ's sake, this is half the fun of being a GN'R fan. I guess we'll find out in the next day or so what this has all been about. Interesting, though.
5/31/2007 | 1:22:45 PM by SLASH WITHOUT CASH
Excuse me Nando that I haven't answered because I'm at University now. I hope you aren't angry on me.
You know for one group of people Poland is beautiful country where you can do everything from learning to have a great time - I'm in this group.
Secound group looking at Poland as a poor country where even politicians play on comedy called " Democratic rubish" or something. Unfortunately they aren't happy.
I have a great time being here and talking with Fans of Guns on the same level of relationship - so friends in the Net. I hope we're gonna meet"... somewhere, sometime at the same time all over the world...". I know that some of you were on Guns concert in Poland. So I hope that in the future Guns will be a reason to be together.

Nando you write the best stuff. Keep it up bro. And keep throwing in references to aliens too. Are you putting your creative genius to good use other than this site? Maybe you should work in the film industry. Love your comments keep it up. You rock! Funny stuff.
5/31/2007 | 1:51:49 PM by Me
I agree, thats just good stuff!!!
5/31/2007 | 3:13:57 PM by chris
Nando, I think you have said it best! People come here to read something about GNR and all the drama that =’s GNR. To escape work even for just a little while.
As for “chris is a knob” well I am not sure what a knob is??? Am I like a door knob? Well what ever, you can attack me all you want. Take your anger out on me! Give me a freakin break you REALLY feel like you have wasted 12 years of your life waiting on Chinese Democracy??? Let me give “chris is a knob” a little bit of advice. Stop wasting your life waiting for a stupid album to get released! Go out and find some friends, get a job, make some $$, go on vacation, get a girlfriend/ boyfriend do something besides being bitter about Chinese Democracy. “chris is a knob” I hope this helps you get through however long it takes for this album to get released.
5/31/2007 | 3:17:17 PM by new gnr
i agree with you, man...good post!
5/31/2007 | 3:21:52 PM by BP
As I have said all along, just have fun with it.
Why do people have to be Drama queens? Just like this particular discussion regarding radio play. Is it real? Who knows. Is it interesting? You bet. Its fun hearing Better on the radio. Yet so many just want to attack, be negative. Its a shame when people take things so personal.
That is not what the guys that created this site were trying to do.
5/31/2007 | 3:25:29 PM by Me
Very well put Chris. I mean come on folks, is this really some new tragic event in your lives. NO! It's all part of being a GN'R fan. Should really have little or no impact on you emotionally. Just enjoy what we have and roll with the rest. I must say all the drama is kinda fun.
Now everybody go to Q94.5 and enjoy the hell out of some Nazareth, that's what I'm doing............AND RELAX for christ's sake.

Just got word from a friend that Axl is flying on his airline that he works for this weekend. The tour is on. Another summer that GnR takes over the Rock World. As fans of Axl, did you ever think we would see this again? Chinese Democracy is on its way !!!
5/31/2007 | 5:25:16 PM by chris

I've had it with GnR's B.S.
Ill continue to listen to Appetite and come to terms with the fact that GnR is a soap opera worth of all houswives areound the globe. I for one, dont watch T.V. during the day.
One more fan lost AXL!

5/31/2007 | 5:55:21 PM by chris
Oh yeah i forgot you enjoy hurting people... So sorry Me... I will never disrespect that upstanding citizen u love so much named S Bach
5/31/2007 | 5:57:14 PM by Me
It's OK new gnr, the bandwagon will probably be coming around this year and they'll all be jumping back on. Hey, I figure I'm a female and this is the only soap opera I watch, so I'm doing pretty good.
5/31/2007 | 5:58:36 PM by Me
Damn Chris, you're a fast learner!!!
5/31/2007 | 6:50:24 PM by new gnr
yeah, they'll be running back..i really believe in this album, i love all 7 new songs, and i know axl's not that stupid to let the best songs of the album leak..think about it..it's gonna be a masterpiece...
5/31/2007 | 6:59:36 PM by Roger Hornsby
I hope the album comes out this year. I don't think it will but my hope springs eternal......well at least for 2007. After that, then it will be like AUNOLD said in the first Conan movie to his god CROM......."Den da hell wit yooo!!!!"
5/31/2007 | 7:35:21 PM by BUCKETHEAD KFCMan
I know Axl and his five o'clock time for tea so just break. Time for relax could be very long... but if we worked everybody must be in great form, belive me.

Hey everybody,
First of all, I would like to alarm Fans of Guns that today my mask of CRAZY CAT is on my head and I'm gonna say words which won't be kind to those, so me too, who are waiting for Chinese Democracy and " Better" on the Texas Ranger Radio.
5/31/2007 | 8:20:03 PM by Me
Uh-Oh....Look out!
5/31/2007 | 8:28:05 PM by SLASH WITHOUT CASH
Of course I'm not a specialist or star on this forum. But you must understand me, because you talk with two man SWOC and Mr. ? in one person. That's why Lord Vader is Lord Vader.
To be honest I heard only once this song and I must said that we have already heard it. I don't hear any changes or new things if you have heard the latest one.
So if the "CD" starts right now so when this project gonna see daylight. I hope in September.
5/31/2007 | 8:29:27 PM by SLASH WITHOUT CASH
Me don't panic!!!
5/31/2007 | 8:33:08 PM by JOSH JONES
I just want Axl to release the album. That would make my year.
In Axl I trust.
By the way, "Better" is a kickass jam. My roomate isnt even a big GNR fan, but when he heard it blasting off my Limewire, he said "what was that, that shits hard!!"....he makes me play it all the time.....
5/31/2007 | 8:37:10 PM by BUCKETHEAD KFCMan
Oh my God what an idiot!!! Sorry Lord Vader?!
Don't kill me please. " Better" and this new music of New Guns N Roses is commercial thing. I don't like commercial and liars. That's why I find my way very early. Somebody gonna say that thanx Mr. Axl I am here where am so thank you and Fuck off teenage looney tune without any ideas to keep together people and I haven't ever heard in your mouth word like COMPROMISE. fUCK YOU AND YOUR BAND DIRTY KILLER OF HOPE IN FAN'S HEART!!!
5/31/2007 | 8:37:50 PM by Kent
Update:
QROC is playing "Better" every 3 to 4 hours
And the "Loop" has not yet played it today, according to their website.
5/31/2007 | 9:39:12 PM by Big Pat
Thanks for the update Kent. And B Head KFC Man. You seem very bitter. Most here really care less about what was said and done in the past. If you dont like GnR why are you here? Just a question.
5/31/2007 | 9:40:22 PM by Lucifer
I don't want AXL to release this album. I want GUNS N' ROSES to release this album. when Liverpool, Man. Utd or tottenham, or LA Galaxy sell end then buy new players, its still Liverpool, Man.Utd or tottenham or LA Galaxy. So, without slash, duff and matt, but others, it's still Guns N' Roses.
5/31/2007 | 9:46:49 PM by BP
I dont understand your analogy.
Axl is not releasing the album, it is GnR. Some may not like the new configuration, but it is GnR.
5/31/2007 | 9:48:23 PM by BP
By the way, Better has reached number 11 on the stats chart, whatever that means.
5/31/2007 | 10:52:24 PM by chris
Preach it BP!
Some people are just bitter about everything not just GNR... Their life sucks and they blame everyone else
5/31/2007 | 11:22:35 PM by BP
I agree Chris. Some very unhappy bastards on here at times. Some have left.
5/31/2007 | 11:31:33 PM by chris
BTW BP your name is all over the internet with this whole "better" on Q-94.5 ... HeavyMetalMusic.biz uses you as their source
5/31/2007 | 11:32:39 PM by chris
better is on right now
5/31/2007 | 11:36:13 PM by Chris
So is it the leaked one or not?
5/31/2007 | 11:59:24 PM by BP
Chris, I was told personally that it is not a leak.
A couple of DJ's at the station said it was.
In my conversation i was told it was an approved radio edit version of Better.
I ask you, if it was not approved, would it still be playing? Of course not.
6/1/2007 | 12:02:48 AM by Norwegian Gun
How often do they play "better" on that radio station "over there"??
6/1/2007 | 12:07:15 AM by Big Pat
It depends, in the evenings its on about every hour or so. Its 5:00 pm here right now.
6/1/2007 | 12:11:17 AM by Norwegian Gun
Thanks Big Pat. Midnight here now.
6/1/2007 | 12:20:54 AM by Big Pat
Hey N. Gun, you can download a little program on download.com called Screamer Radio. Then you can record the station. Then you wont miss it.
Always glad to help!!

that is all
6/1/2007 | 2:16:50 AM by "Real Deal" Neil
I still think Axl is an Axhole. I'm a fan of the music but I think some people enjoy being abused that is why they defend the head masacist himself (Axhole). Probably the same people that like S&M sex. Let's compromise, Axhole can release Chinese Democracy and those people can beat the hell out of themselves while they listen to it. That way everybody wins: )
Velvet Revolver needs a new singer Wieland sucks! Might I suggest Axhole? LOL! We know Velvet Revolver at least releases albums so again problem solved.
6/1/2007 | 2:19:20 AM by BP
And the worlds coming to an end!! Right "Real Deal" Neil. Damn!
6/1/2007 | 2:26:35 AM by Knoxvillesuperman
They are playing "used to love her(but I had to killl her) it is Velvet Revolver.....This really sucks. I think my ears are bleeding. I like VR stuff, they need to leave G'NR stuff alone.
6/1/2007 | 3:10:39 AM by Make Love Not Kool Aid
Velvet Revolver is playing "used to love her (but I had to kill her)" for three reasons:
1) Members of VR originally wrote and recorded the song, and they have as much right to play the song as Axl does
2) For sentimental reasons and because most bands enjoy putting a new spin / sound (Weilands voice) on old material
3) To bug the shit out of Axl
These are all valid reasons and although it may make your ears bleed, beauty of music is in the ear of the beholder. We don't all think it sucks. Just the Kool Aid Zombie drinking VR haters. Later Gator!

I live in texas, I heard the song already. Its the latest leak of "better" being played only its cut in half thats all. The dj says," here the new one from gnr called 'better'. Doesn't give album info or anything. I honestly believe that he just manage to get the leak and its just a matter of time before it gets pulled off.
6/1/2007 | 3:14:18 AM by Dear Webmaster
Please delete the repetitive comment shit under the item "Good, Bad, or Pass". It is a space waste. Thanks!!!
6/1/2007 | 3:23:36 AM by BP
Hey Ricky, thanks for that input! Cut in half? Nope. Many times they have said its from the upcoming album CHINESE DEMOCRACY.
Have a great evening.
6/1/2007 | 4:16:58 AM by banana boat
thank God something is being released officially!!!!!
maybe a CD is in the horizons!!

6/1/2007 | 4:58:25 AM by Adamorose (BH-MG)
Eu acabei de ouvir, pela streamaudio dessa radio do texas, better e a versão que eles estão tocando não difere em nada da versão que todos aqui no Brasil já estão escutando a alguns meses. Não vi nada de diferente. é a versão antiga um pouco mais melhorada da demo.

6/1/2007 | 6:10:49 AM by "Real Deal" Neil
Dear BP,
No the world is not coming to an end. I was being sarcastic with overtly humorus overtones. When I have something nice to say I'll say it. Until CD is released they will be in short supply I'm afraid. News Flash: Some of you Axl lovers and apologists need to lighten up too. "Don't you know It's all just a game, you treat me like I'm having a crime when everybodies doing the time"
Insert illustrative clich'es here: Two sides to every coin, Takes Two to Tango, Apple a day keeps the doctor away...well, maybe not the last one. lol!
6/1/2007 | 7:00:40 AM by Ricky
I like the first leak of "better"......better than the one playin' on the radio.
6/1/2007 | 8:18:29 AM by SLASH WITHOUT CASH
Those songs are similar so I really don't know how to talk about them?! Any ideas?
Radio catch the leak and said that this is official version of song, maybe it's true, but gunsnroses.com should say something about it as a official info about "Better" and long-awaited, neverending "CD"...
6/1/2007 | 8:32:27 AM by SLASH WITHOUT CASH

6/1/2007 | 5:28:25 PM by "Real Deal" Neil
BP-
I had a feeling that you were joking that's why I had a little fun with my response as well. Most of you guys on here are cool even though we disagree from time to time. Variety is the spice of life and I do drift toward the spicey!
After seeing the MPLS show in Dec. I was on such an AXl/new GNR high because the show was excellent in my opinion. I've since become a little salty because I was hoping to keep that ride going with the new CD. It's frustrating for it to always be "just out of reach." I hope Axl comes to his senses soon and gives the fans what they want and that is his complete greatness...i.e. tour and CD release.
6/1/2007 | 6:37:17 PM by Crabman
After sitting listening to the station for 4 or so hours for it to come on, i have to say I've been left disappointed. If i had wanted to listen to the song I could have listened to the version i already own, they are so similar. I feel I have wasted my time, i was all set for something big, groundbreaking maybe, but no the same old, unclean, demo sound was still there. Teaches me for getting my hopes up I suppose. Obviously when the album comes out I will buy it, but now to me its just an album, nothing special. Peace Out.
6/1/2007 | 7:03:18 PM by BP
What the hell were you expecting? All you had to do was look back at some of the posts, most said it was not much different. I dont agree with the unclean demo sound. You may be even more disappointed when the album comes out. What the hell do you want? Most are playing it on some computer speakers, its being broadcast over the internet! Tell you the truth most songs I hear sound pretty much the same as far as quality wise.
6/1/2007 | 7:19:12 PM by LL_TJ1
Whats up all..I like the the version of Better I have already as opposed to the one being played in Texas. Over on CD.com somebody posted that they had "found" Seven by GNR, supposedly another leaked track, but the link has already been removed so..
6/1/2007 | 7:20:22 PM by mr x
Hi all,
Well i can confirm NO release or radio play in Australia ! But who cares we get the real thing in just 10 long days !!!!!!Sorry to rub it in bp.
6/1/2007 | 7:21:43 PM by Crabman
I was expecting more than that, if thats the Official version, then thats a big problem. All I want is for Guns N' Roses to release the album, for it to be great and received well by the fans. Yes i can understand the interenet stream may have an effect on the quality, but considering i have it rigged up to a good quality sound system, i thought it would be better than that. Peace Out.
6/1/2007 | 8:03:30 PM by Mr X
I think not all but most of you need to grow the hell up ! PLEASE.Just listen to yourselves I like the other version! I was expecting more! If this is it and so on.....FUCK is anything OFFICIAL NO ! Be dam greatfull that you have the OPTION to hear these demo's before the release ! and untill we hear from the CAMP that is all they shall remain DEMO'S. A TRUE GUNS FAN HAS YET TO HEAR ANY OF THE LEAKS ! NO MATTER HOW TEMPTED. . . . . .TAKE THATONE TO HEART

Been playing Better all day long. Nice to hear it on the radio.
6/2/2007 | 12:34:48 AM by breaking info
i just got an e-maail back from someone at universal music and they say it is not an official single and they are in the process of investigating the leaks and sending out multiple cease and desist letters across the country because other stations are also playing other demos from the new album.
6/2/2007 | 1:15:58 AM by Big Pat
If you have information like that, and its credible, please share with everyone.
But posting like you are doesn't really mean much.
6/2/2007 | 1:23:33 AM by BP
By the way, Better is the number one song on Q94.5.
6/2/2007 | 1:45:44 AM by BP
Q94.5 is playing a block of GnR, on the fifth song in a row. Also doing a little interview with some damn GnR fan. Great station!!!!

6/2/2007 | 1:51:27 AM by GNRReunioneventually
is there some way i can download this new version or "single"? I'd like to see how different this one is from the leak.
if not is there a way one of you guys down there in Texas can record it then upload it somewhere? I'd really really appreciate it. Thank you.
\m/ CHINESE DEMOCRACY HAS JUST BEGUN \m/
6/2/2007 | 2:01:31 AM by BP
7 GnR songs in a row! Started with Better and ended with Better. WOW!!!!
6/2/2007 | 2:35:29 AM by GNRReunioneventually
Question:
Why don't the radio stations that play better play any of the other leaks? Like TWAT or the Blues or CHINESE DEMOCRACY (the song)?
(they played IRS briefly in may of 2006)
\m/
6/2/2007 | 2:47:03 AM by Big Pat
well it depends on who you want to believe. The radio station Q94.5 told me they have permission to play it. (BETTER)Now since then we have heard all kinds of crazy stuff. Mike the on air guy said Monday they would go back to regular programing. Which leads me to believe Better will be gone. I stick by what I said from the start. This is an authorized version of Better. Is it the finished version? I doubt it. As the week draws to a close I feel like the information I got the first of the week was accurate.
6/2/2007 | 3:15:06 AM by A stupid question
So Pat said that the station he listens to has permission to play an unfinished version (demo) of Better but that they would go back to regular programming on Monday which would probably leave the song out of the playlist. Why would GnR give permission to any station to play an unfinished version of a song when they have spent months trying to stop the playing and spread of the unfinished versions of songs? Seems kinda dumb to try and stop the leaks but then give one radio staion permission to play what ammounts to a demo. Like I said it is a stupid question.
6/2/2007 | 4:36:13 AM by BP
No such thing as a stupid question. Lets start at the beginning. It is not a station I listen to regularly. I like many others are streaming it on line. I live in Texas but a couple hours from Q94.5. Second you are assuming its an unfinished demo. That is your assumption, and you have made that clear in your previous posts. And you ask a very good question, "Why would GnR give permission to any station to play an unfinished version of a song when they have spent months trying to stop the playing and spread of the unfinished versions of songs?" I dont have the answer. Could it be that its not an unfinished version? Could the reason be why its been playing for almost a week on heavy rotation is because they have permission? Another question, why when anything pops up on youtube regarding the new songs, it is removed in hours? Yet Better keeps playing on Q94.5 And no doubt the record company knows. Its on every music related web site around.
As far as them taking Better off the air on Monday, well that was just me speculating. The DJ said they were going back to regular programing on Monday. It may have nothing to do with the song. Does it sound dumb as you put it? Well I dont know. If what I was told is true, that the song was approved for play the week before the concert to generate interest. Then maybe its not so dumb.
You have done your best to make me take the bait. But it wont work. You seem very unhappy, the kind of person who doesnt like to see other people enjoy themselves. I have said all along, this may not be real, it may only last a few days, I may be wrong about this whole thing. But myself and a lot of other people have really enjoyed hearing the song on the radio. And all the attention it has been getting. Its exciting to watch it climb the charts and now become number 1 on the play list.
Keep ripping on me if you like. I hope that at least makes you feel good.
6/2/2007 | 4:46:38 AM by chris
your question is not stupid... Personally I believe the station is saying they have permission, because they would like idiots admitting they did not have permission.
I am not going to pretend I know a lot about the music bizz, cuse I dont. But I have to admit this whole thing is really weird to me. To me this band is too proud and has been too careful with this album to just allow one station to play a new song. With all the money that has been put into this project you would think universal would not allow this either.
It could be possible that GNR’s plan is to slowly allow new songs radio play near cities where concerts are being played to increase excitement. This could also be used as a ploy from GNR to get more $$ from universal off record sales.
In the end none of us know and probably will never know. It has been really cool hearing “better” on this station and I have enjoyed listening to this station while working as a whole. Hopefully it is for real and this is the start of a new album and another USA/ world tour.
6/2/2007 | 4:50:36 AM by A stupid question
You are being paranoid and a bit sensitive. First of all I never posted anything before concerning this suject so I dont know what you are talking about. I was honestly asking a question and stating what I read. If you read more into that then that is not my fault. Second I wasnt ripping on you. Just asking a logical question based on all I have seen and heard lately. You say I am trying to make you take the bait. What the hell are you talking about? You must confuse me with someone else. I only find this site about a week ago. From what I have seen on here in the last week you have attack quite a few people but apprently are paranoid about people attacking you when all they did was either state their opinion or ask a question they had. Why be so sensitive?
6/2/2007 | 5:08:11 AM by BP
I have not attacked anyone. Show me one instance where I have attacked someone?
And Im not paranoid, no reason to be. I love this site, and I enjoy the people that participate on it. The key word is participate. Not the ones that just critisize and belittle people.
Well you asked me a question, I hope I answered it okay.

there is so much shit being spoken about Guns that only these slave to the radio/media fuckers listen to and then take the opportunity to belch forth upon the net audience their pre-conconcted ideas about the state of the Gunners music and method. The simple fact is that if you dont like the music fuck off and dont listen to it. In my opinion; I have downloaded the leaked tracks and play them loudly through my car and home stereos and truely believe that this is the best music to surface since Appetite.
Others may be swayed by public bullshit but the simple fact is that the new Guns music beats the crap out of any music that has come since their conception or demise of the original line up.
this music in the rock genre sets a new standard and one that i truely believe ( with complete and total respect to Slash) could not have been acheived without the aquisition of modern guitar and musical perspectives. If Guns where to have , for commercial sake, to have continued in their original mold they would have been labouriously pumping out the drivell that Velvet revolver have been pressured to produce to maintain acceptance from a teenage audience. Guns audience stalwarts emerged late 80's and now have kids of their own and want desperately to appreciate music from the greatest band of all time that shows development and maturation and satisfies the potential that they showed in appetite but never captured with the illusion albums. Rock on new guns and fuck the shepherded doubters they will soon find their way home. Stevo
6/2/2007 | 2:10:50 PM by BP
Stevo, Well said. I agree with most of what you said. If the original line up was in some way still together, the music they would produce would be far different than Axls dream. It certainly wouldnt be as complex as the new Guns music. VR proves that. And I like VR. But the bands dont compare.
6/2/2007 | 2:11:28 PM by Mr x
Could not have said it any "BETTER"
New Gunners 2007
6/2/2007 | 3:45:32 PM by chris
Here is my thought on the old vs. new GNR… The old band was unbelievable and created a rock bluesy sound that will probably never be duplicated. The new GNR is good and the new songs for the most part are good/ great. What made the old GNR so great were the different influences from 5 different directions into one. AFD, will never be duplicated it is not possible. With the old or the new band everyone is much different now than when they were starving struggling rock musicians.
I have to disagree that if the old band stayed together they would be no more than VR. UY albums were pretty complex and you felt the whole bands presence on those albums. From Axl’s epic songs like “November Rain” and “Estranged” to simple but great songs like “Yesterdays” to Izzy influenced “dust and bones.” All those songs were different but great on their own.
If some way the original line up could have been mature enough to work together, I personally feel they would have continued to make great music. I am a firm believer in the new band, but let’s not discount the original. It is kind of like an old car, sure the new cars have all these bells and whistles and GPS and all this other crap which are great… But remember how much fun you had in your old car??? I know I do

Man I want to kick axl's ass. Didnt axl himself say in January that the album only had to be mixed. Surely it doesnt take 6 months to mix an album. This album is'nt gonna come out for a very long time if it even comes out at all. The people who constantly say "chinese democracy starts now" need to wake the fuck up, and stop jumping to conclusions when some fucking leak which has been around for 3 years is played on one shitty radio station. Axls is without doubt an amazing songwriter/performer treats his fans like shit

Update:
"Better" has NOT been played yet on QRoc. It is 1:22 pm est June 2 and usually by this time it has been on twice. "Patience" and "Live and Let Die" have been played but no "Better"!
This must've been some kind of cock tease thrown at us by the gnr camp to get us salivating of whats to come with the tour and a possible release. B.P whats the deal, did Qroc have to pull it?
6/2/2007 | 7:34:28 PM by Keven
No I don't think it had anything to do with Guns Kent. They probably had nothing to do with the song being played on QROC. I have a friend who sent e-mails to various people including GnR and Universal Music asking if it was an official single being played. If it has been pulled from QROC, then I guess we got our answer and the song was just another version of a leaked track.

Es noche de Guns N' rock
Todo está listo para recibir a la banda liderada por Axl Rose esta noche en la Arena Monterrey
Silvia Oviedo
Monterrey, México (1 junio 2007).- Todo tiene que estar perfecto para hoy, y es que Axl Rose y la banda que lo acompaña, no quieren que nada falle en el arranque de su gira mundial.
Una lesión que sufrió el bajista Tommy Stinson amenazó con que este día no se realizaría el show de Guns N' Roses en la Ciudad, pero para beneplácito de sus fans, todo está listo para que la agrupación resuene en la Arena Monterrey.
Desde la mañana de ayer los técnicos comenzaron a armar el escenario que cobijará al legendario rockero y a sus músicos.
Durante la tarde, los ingenieros estuvieron checando que el sonido estuviera bien, mientras que los técnicos ultimaban los detalles de las estructuras del escenario. Para cerca de las 19:00 horas, todo estaba prácticamente listo para esta noche de rock.
Entre las cosas que los regios verán esta noche están tres pantallas gigantes, luces robóticas y una fuerte descarga de pirotécnica.
Desde el jueves, Dizzy Reed, Chris Pitman, Stinson, Brian "Brain" Mantia, Frank Ferrer, Robin Finck, Richard Fortus y Ron Thal llegaron a Monterrey para empezar a alistarse para esta gran noche.
Alrededor de las 20:00 horas de ese día, arribaron al hotel Crowne Plaza Monterrey y se instalaron en sus habitaciones. Se estima que Axl Rose llegue hoy en el transcurso del día en un vuelo privado.
Alfredo Bernal, del departamento de prensa de la Arena, le recomendó a los asistentes que adquirieron sus boletos de cancha irse lo más temprano posible.
"Ellos ya saben, pero no está de más que se vengan con tiempo a hacer fila porque serán aproximadamente cuatro mil 500 personas en esa zona", dijo.
Abren vista limitada
Ante la euforia que causó la llegada de Guns N' Roses a la Ciudad, los organizadores de la Arena Monterrey decidieron abrir la sección de vista limitada.
Alfredo Bernal señaló que ya están completamente agotadas las entradas para las otras secciones, por lo que se espera que haya poco más de 12 mil personas esta noche.
Informó que hoy estarán a la venta los boletos a través de Superboletos y taquillas de la arena.
El costo de cada lugar es de 560 pesos y que habrá aproximadamente 500 tickets disponibles.
Recomendaciones
Tome en cuenta las siguientes consideraciones:
- La cita está pactada a las 21:00 horas pero habrá dos teloneros: The Volture y Maligno
- No llevar objetos punzocortantes, cámaras de video y fotográficas, alimentos y bebidas.
- Para evitar el caos vial, es preferible que varios vayan en un solo carro o que tomen taxi o transporte urbano.

Everything is night of Guns N' rock is ready to tonight receive to the band led by Axl Rose in the Monterrey Sand Silvia Oviedo Monterrey, Mexico (1 June 2007). - Everything must be perfect for today, and is that Axl Rose and the band that accompanies it, does not want that nothing fails in the starting of its world-wide tour. An injury that underwent the bear Tommy Stinson threatened whereupon this day the show of Guns N' Roses would not be made in the City, but for approval of his fans, everything is ready so that the grouping resonates in the Monterrey Sand. From the morning of the technicians they yesterday began to arm the scene that will shelter to the legendary rocker and its musicians. During afternoon, the engineers they were checking who the sound was well, whereas the technicians completed the details of the structures of the scene. It stops near 19:00 hours, everything was practically ready for tonight of rock. Between the robotic things that the regal ones will see tonight are three giant screens, lights and one fort pyrotechnics unloading. From Thursday, Dizzy Reed, Chris Pitman, Stinson, Brian “Brain” Mantia, Frank Ferrer, Robin Finck, Richard Fortus and Ron Thal arrived at Monterrey to begin to get ready for this great night. Around 20:00 hours of that day, arrived at the hotel Crowne Plaza Monterrey and they settled in its rooms. Esteem that Axl Rose arrives today in the course of the day in a private flight. Alfredo Bernal, of the department of press of the Sand, recommended the assistants to him who acquired their tickets of field to go away more early possible. “They already know, but she is not of more than they come with time to make row because they will be approximately four thousand 500 people in that zone”, she said. They open Vista limited Before the euphoria that caused the arrival of Guns N' Roses to the City, the organizers of the Monterrey Sand decided to open the limited section of Vista. Alfredo Bernal indicated that already completely the entrances for the other sections are exhausted, reason why it hopes that there is little more than 12 thousand people tonight. It informed that today they will be on sale the tickets through Superboletos and ticket offices of the sand. The cost of each place is of 560 approximately 500 pesos and that will be tickets available. Recommendations Take into account the following considerations: - The appointment is agreed to to 21:00 hours but there will be two teloneros: The Volture and Maligno - not to take punzocortantes objects, photographic video cameras and, foods and drinks. - To avoid the road chaos, he is preferable that several go in a single car or that takes taxi or urban transport.

They are continuing to play it Kent, nothing to worry about. The weekends are a pre programmed show for the most part I beleive, so I dont think it will get played as much. Like the weekday morning show.
Nothing going on, read my posts from a week ago. Thats what is going on.
6/2/2007 | 8:11:45 PM by SLASH WITHOUT CASH
They start to rock the world baby!!!
6/2/2007 | 8:14:45 PM by SLASH WITHOUT CASH
Big Bro I would like to use your golden words:
CHINESE DEMOCRACY STARTS RIGHT NOW!!!
And that's the way the cookie crumbles.
Hey everyone on this forum. I think we should say here those legendary Axl's words :
WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE BROTHERS AND SISTERS!!!
I JUST LOVE THIS GAME!!!
6/2/2007 | 10:53:26 PM by Big Pat
CHINESE DEMOCRACY STARTS RIGHT NOW!!!
My little bro SWOC, How are you today?
6/2/2007 | 11:26:53 PM by SWOC-CRAZY CAT
Hey WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE BIG BRO I"M FINE> THEY STARTED THE TOUR. So I'm very happy that members are healthy. How are you?
It's wonderful to be Crazy Cat!!!

6/3/2007 | 5:04:35 PM by BP
Watch it, you're gonna make some people mad if you say that. People are very touchy sometimes.
Gomer!!! Where are you when I need you?!?!?!?!
6/4/2007 | 4:10:35 AM by OpenSorce
If I were Axl, this type of fan teasing is EXACTLY what I would do to ensure good record sales. In 2002 I vowed to not buy a single piece of recorded music until to the release of ChiDem. Needless to say I've saved a lot of money since then :-)
I would buy the album just for a studio version of Madagascar. What a gorgeous song.
Peace,
OS

It's great to hear Buckethead on lead guitar! He'll be staying on the final album :)
6/4/2007 | 4:20:18 PM by BP
Buckethead? I love you musical experts. Sort of like the the guy that drinks nothing but Coca Cola, but when blindfolded couldn't tell the difference between coke and Pepsi.
Everyone is an expert.
6/4/2007 | 4:24:02 PM by BP
Oh, Im just rying to get this moved ahead of that stupid Bach story. Only a few more to go.
6/4/2007 | 5:24:39 PM by BP
Can I get some help here? Can someone post something?
6/4/2007 | 5:26:43 PM by BP
Oh and the station is Still playing Better. Its still number 1. When the hell will it go away? Lets take bets.
6/4/2007 | 5:42:55 PM by BP
Nothing, nobody? Come on people!
6/4/2007 | 6:10:23 PM by ?

6/4/2007 | 6:19:41 PM by WTTJ
I bet ya five bucks the song gets dropped 10 days after the Mexico dates are done. Wahey, Bach thread gets beaten soon!
6/4/2007 | 6:24:37 PM by BP
I wont take that bet. Im guessing in the next couple days.

6/4/2007 | 8:26:16 PM by Mary Poppins
When trying to express oneself, it’s frankly quite absurd
To leaf through lengthy lexicons, to find the perfect word.
A little spontaneity keeps conversation keen
You need to find a way to say precisely what you mean.
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Even though the sound of it is simply quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough, you’ll always sound precocious

6/5/2007 | 1:45:38 AM by I know I know I know
Wanna know when Better will go away from the airwaves in Texas? Not too much longer as I wrote to the RIAA, Universal Music, Tsunami Entertainment and Guns themselves asking for clarification on what is real and what isn't. I know I am a dick and I take great pride in it,.
6/5/2007 | 2:50:49 AM by BP
No you're not a dick, you're just like a lot of people that stop by. You just don't like for people to enjoy themselves. Reminds me of an old friend. Oh well. I figure the song stops when the Mexico tour ends. They just played it in the 5:00 hour. Still number 1. Its been fun for a week now. A lot of people have enjoyed listening to it. So what happens .... happens.
6/5/2007 | 3:25:38 AM by BP
Are you bothered that you were not missed more? Are you surprised?
Jealous of others?
Grow up.
6/5/2007 | 3:43:09 AM by ?
i dont understand??
6/5/2007 | 3:43:47 AM by ?
Why??
6/5/2007 | 3:45:59 AM by Brandon
Hey Big Pat,
"Me" said shit was going on over here. I don't know who the fuck you are talking to, but it isn't me. If you are referring to "I know I know" above your comment. and making an assumption, then you need to think before you type, as that is not me.
I didn't expect people to miss me, but I am glad I had a fan or two on this site. There is nothing for me to be jealous of on this site, especially you and all your names on here(genital herpes, one of the buckethead people, Savanna, Bloke and Aziz among others and don't fucking lie to everyone on here and deny it either), while I have used my name and only my name at all times. I don't see the fucking point in being several people on here. I say what I say under my own name and if people don't like it then they can kiss my ass. At least then I am not pretending to be something I am not. Can you say the same Pat? I am reminded of an e-mail from you where you said the more you hear the new songs from GnR, the less you like them....too much going on is what you said. Now you are all aboard the GnR bandwagon because some station plays a demo? Whatever.
If someone needs to do some growing up, it is you, not me. Move on and do whatever it is you do here Pat. I haven't been here since I said I was leaving and I won't be back. Fuck You.
6/5/2007 | 4:04:12 AM by BP
Hey Brandon, good to see you my friend. Nope not referring to you. But am glad you stopped by. E-mail me sometime.
Later
6/5/2007 | 4:12:21 AM by Big Pat
You are so wrong about the names my friend. And shame on you assuming they are me. Its unfair to do that, just as it was not right to say things in public that I told you in private.
For the life of me I dont know why you think all these people are me. I dont need to do that. And wouldn't do that. I could spread lies about you, post untruths about you, but I wont. I see what kind of person you are. And so do other people I talk to off of the site.
If anything, I try to help people here, share information, answer questions. Thats what we do. Or should I say, thats what we should do.
Im not paranoid into thinking everyone that posts is someone else. And some of the names you accuse me of being, are just down right funny. I will stay on the high ground with you. I have more to loose than you do on here.
I wish you nothing but the best.
6/5/2007 | 4:37:47 AM by Brandon
More lies, Pat? If you weren't referring to me then who the hell was it you were referring to? Enlighten us all. Come on, I am not nearly that dumb. Others might be, but I am not. Do I have to copy and paste the fucking e-mail on here Pat? Do you really want to keep lying?
You started this Pat. You baited me with the shit you wrote above (and on other recent occasions from what i've seen today) and now you got my atention.
Folks, this is part of what Pat wrote in an e-mail to me
Pat wrote: "Aziz. I maid him up only to bug Gomer when he made the very ugly reference to Muslims."
Sound familliar Pat? The problem with that was you didn't just use "Aziz" against Gomer did you? You used that name recently (and I even pointed it out at the time) when you went to insult someone else. And then like the hero you so try to be on here, you popped back in under "Big Pat" to save the day and make peace between "Aziz" and whoever it was that you were tearing into.
Now, ask me if I give a damn what people you talk to off this site think of me???? Go ahead and ask, Pat. Nevermind, I will give you the answer instead. I don't really give a fuck. It means nothing to me. Like I said, if I have something to say, I will say it and not do it behind someones back like you and the friends you talk to apparently.
Think of me what you want Pat or anyone else on here for that matter. But one thing I do not do (and have never done on here) is lie unlike others.
Do you really want to keep going Pat? Do you? I have no intention of e-mailing you as I have nothing to say in it that I cannot say here, since you dragged me into this with your assinine comments above which WERE directed towards me. No one else besides me has left this site Pat. No one
6/5/2007 | 4:47:21 AM by BP
Again, I am disappointed in your childish ways. Yes as I have admitted, I did use that name. And I did it to embarrass Gomer, or to at least make him think before he made any more mean and hurtful comments towards Muslims. Or for any other people for that matter.
Everyone has a right to post and share information on this site. And what he was saying was awful, I felt that if he knew there was someone reading his hate that was Muslim, he might think twice before doing it again.
I am guilty of that, and I would do it again.
You have become a very sad figure. I feel bad for you. I hope you can find happines somewhere. Its certainly not on this site.
Good luck.
6/5/2007 | 4:58:58 AM by Brandon
Now the story changes slightly. A couple of posts up, you wrote
"For the life of me I dont know why you think all these people are me. I dont need to do that. And wouldn't do that. "
Now, you change your story for everyone here and say that Aziz was you, but only when you chewed out Gomer. What about the recent time Pat? I could dig that up from on this site as well to refresh your lousy memory if you'd like.
Nevermind. Im done with it. Lie to these people all you want. I am not the only one on here who believes that you have several names that you have used to tear into people. And the funny thing is? I haven't talked to any one of them about it. So, where would they come up with these ideas if it wasn't from me?
Leave me out of your comments and I will leave you alone on here. Fair enough?
6/5/2007 | 5:08:01 AM by Brandon
Feel free to spread all the lies you want about me Big Pat. Won't bother me one bit as I know the truth. Don't really care if anyone else does. I am now leaving for good. No more replies from me. My words above were enough truth for one site.
6/5/2007 | 5:10:17 AM by Big Pat
I wont debate you on this. Its not a challenge. I know who I am. As I have said. My main interest on this site is to share information, preferably GnR information. You and whoever can sit around and wonder who is who, or gossip about whatever.
All this squabbling is not good for the site.
Some on here are trying to make this site better. You are out of my comments, now Im sure I may say something sometime, and you will think its directed at you. It wont be. Dont take this wrong. Your not that special. Sorry.
Good Bye Brandon. I wish you well.
6/5/2007 | 5:12:52 AM by BP
Hey they just played BETTER on the radio again!!!
CHINESE DEMOCRACY STARTS NOW!!!!!!

Brandon, I don't need to spread lies about you, or even talk about you, you are not relevant in any way. Easily forgettable. But I wish you well.

OK, all, according to play.com, there is a release date. This website has been taking pre-orders for Chinese Democracy for quite some time. They say Chinese Democracy is coming out on 9/17/2007.
Look at this link:

I'd take it at face value...if Axl knew about this, he'd probably be pissed!!

I just took a gander over at Q94.5's play list and is it just me, or do most of their top 10 songs suck? That disco sounding Finger 11 song Paralyzer just gets on my nerves almost as much as the new Puddle of Mud song which rips off Dire Strait's lyrics "money for nothing and your chicks for free" Even Korn's new one (or the Smashing Pumpkins for that matter) don't do anything for me. Damn, most music on rock radio today really blows.

Guess What! great news! Chinese Democracy has been pushed back to December :( :( :(
8/2/2008 | 7:43:46 AM by Axl Rose
Guess what?Chinese Democracy will not be titled Chinese Democracy,and none of the other future albums will have that title.
The reason is that the label will not support any albums with that title because it promotes China and all of their evil things that they do.
There will be a new album,but can you guess who will be playing on it?Well all I will say is that it's cool to have the top hat back.
