Re: A better response to Better
So I was hired to dj in this sleazy little pub last weekend. Really nice for a change to be honest. I knew I was gonna get to play alot of rock instead of the typical club music I normally play. I knew this would be a perfect opportunity to test Better on possibly a more Gn'R freindly crowd. I figured this out about ten minutes into my night when I played My Michelle and then had it confirmed about an hour later when I played You're Crazy(Lies version) and saw many people singing along to it. I thought cool and decided right there to give Better a shot. I set the mood with Megadeath's Symphony of Destruction and then Better took center stage to a surprisingly good reaction. It almost made me wonder if people had heard it before casue yes there were peple dancing to it. Alot. haha. I was legitimately surprised. It wasn't a danceing crowd really so it was few and far between songs where people did dance but Better was one of them. I didnt' introduce the song or say who it was I simply played it and it got a great reaction.
So what have we learned? Better in a club gets a very lack luster reaction. Better in a scuzzy pub gets a very positive reaction. Shocking? Probably not

Re: A better response to Better
To be honest, I really never thought Better would ever do good in a club geared more towards danice to pop/disco/dance music. Better being played in a club geared more towards rock music then I can totally see this having a good response.
When I was clubbing, I usually went to rock clubs over dance clubs and we danced to alot of rock music that I am sure wouldn't go over in a club that would play more pop, disco dance music.
I remember going to a club called Malibu and it had 2 sides, what we called a DRE side which at that time was a radio station that played new wave music and a disco side. It was a huge club. I was always on the DRE side because I knew they would play more music I liked, they even threw in Rob Zombie music it was awesome, I couldn't ever see that going over on the disco side.
It really all depends what kind of club you play the music in to get a fair response. Ofcourse there are some rock songs that will go over at a dance club but Better is not going to be one of them.
