Dizzy Reed of Guns N Roses has spoken out about the new track, Better, that was recently leaked.
The song comes from the ever-delayed album Chinese Democracy, which has been put back against from its March 5th release. The keyboard player spoke on a GnR site saying that the track, which has been doing the round on US radio, was a demo used for a Harley Davison advert which somehow got out.
“The version that’s getting airplay is that same demo… For the record, absolutely none of the songs that have been leaked have come from the band or our organisation. None of the songs that have been leaked are anything more than demo versions, works in progress. No final mixes…Hearing a demo on the radio really sucks.”

Malcolm McLaren has predicted the death of record labels.
The man notorious for being behind the Sex Pistols’ rise to fame was making a speech in New York to mark the Live From London showcase. He claimed that the labels downfall would arrive due to the rise of the internet, saying that technology and the internet were making music authentic again. He went on to say:
“No one cares about selling units any more. All record labels will end up closing eventually because no one wants actual CDs anymore. You can get whatever you want on the internet for nothing now.The experience of seeing a band or artist perform in front of you is what is valued today and that’s why live entertainment is having such a boom at the moment.”
