"Better" är en låt av det amerikanska bandet Guns N' Roses. Låten är spår 3 på albumet Chinese Democracy från 2008, och är 4 minuter och 59 sekunder lång. Den utgavs som andra singel från Chinese Democracy den 17 november 2008.[1] Låten är skriven av Axl Rose och Robin Finck.

Bakgrund

Låten dök år 2006 upp i en reklamfilm för det amerikanska motorcykelfabrikatet Harley-Davidson, och har även spelats live under Chinese Democracy-turnén 2001-2007. Demos av låten läckte ut på internet i februari 2006[2], maj 2007 och juni 2008.[3]

Rose dök den 11 december 2008 upp på två Guns N' Roses-internetforum, och besvarade där frågor om Chinese Democracy. Han berättade bland annat att en musikvideo till Better skulle släppas i slutet av året.[4]

Mottagande

Låten har fått främst positiva recensioner av professionella kritiker. Musiktidningen Rolling Stone skrev att Better lät som en klassisk Guns N' Roses-låt, och att den lika gärna kunde kommit från Use Your Illusion-eran[1], och de amerikanska internettidningarna allmusic och PopMatters skrev båda att låten var en av de bästa och mest lättillgängliga låtarna på Chinese Democracy.[5][6] Expressen skrev däremot att låten var billig och tjatig och att refrängen sänker de annars coola gitarriffen.[7]
