Actually I just heard it yesterday morning, "Better" that is...but better it isn't. It has quite a bit of synth and Axl's vocals were a little harsh and even off key at times. Sure, you can tell the guitar player is really good, but it didn't salvage the song for me.
Supposedly the story is this song was released to use with a Harley-Davidson commercial, which subsequently fell through. The DJ said they had played it earlier in the morning but they would play it again for those who missed it (myself) as long as the record company didn't notify them to cease...which apparently would've been likely had it not been on the west coast, thus still really early there. Like any song, they must be notified when songs are played, for royalties and whatnot. And "Chinese Democracy" was last scheduled for release in March I think, but that's been postponed indefinitely as well.
