GNRfan2008 Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 (edited) Ha, the DJ who hates GNR just retracted everything he said and LOVES Better! I think this song is gonna do really well even in the mainstream and not just because I am a diehard fan-Dave-you said that before and they still played it again-I think the main part of the song is top 10 on the pop charts material, but the 30 second intro. is too harsh for the average mainstream listener. Perhaps they should fade it like on the Harley commercial, or perhaps even get rid of one of the choruses at the beginning (it's played twice...once would shorten it by half approximately). The song, as it is, will be #1 on the rock charts for sure. Other than that, I'm not sure (top 50 on the pop charts perhaps, but not much more than that).

They could have a different edit for the radio for mainstream listeners. A lot of singles differ from the actual album cut-Next week we will know, hopefully!

As I've said before, average mainstream listeners in this country have very short attention spans. The intro is catchy, but also HARSH as hell compared to most popular music. If it were faded and shortened quite a bit, the song has great potential because the meat of the song kicks ass almost as much as SCOM (both in terms of pop sensibilities and solos for more hardcore rock fans).

highvoltage Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Guys, please don't post anymore links to the demo. I just had to go through 27 pages deleting them all.The board policy still hasn't changed when it comes to posting the leaks. We've been threatened with legal action if we host links to them on here, so we're not allowed to. I don't mean to be an asshole, but that's the way it has to be to cover Eric's ass legally.

pilferk Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 OK, here's what happened. I sent the link to the Harley Ad on to Picozzi (who's their afternoon guy) on Friday. I then called him an hour or so later to vote for GnR in the World Series of Rock. We talked about the ad, as well. They then played the audio of the ad on air and Holden Johnson bagged on the song a bit. Another poster on HTGTH (who I won't name...I'll let him do that if he wants) knows the DJ's at WCCC. He got Raven to play the entire remastered demo on air. I THINK it's now been played a few times since then, since response has been pretty positive. Now, where the rumors that WCCC is going to get the single next week are starting, I don't know. Maybe more has come to light since my talk and emails with Picozzi. But that certainly was not the case when I talked to/emailed him on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 (edited) I love the pitman effect after the climax it makes the song complete.EDIT: That's my least favourite part of this song Monty Edited October 22, 2006 by BLSMonty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
