Better is continuing to climb the airplay charts, seems like the grass roots approach is actually working fairly well at least for the time being
Everyone do your part and request it at your local stations and on the Sirius/XM stations too
A video might help a bit but I don't know anyone who actually watches videos except on youtube.

All it needs is to make it to VH1 and get pushed for their Top 20 countdown. It helped Kid Rock. It will help this album. The more plays it gets on TV the more it can help.

YouTube is actually now streaming HD quality video (not high, but HD), so I think it would be pretty good even in there.

Would just like to have a video on Comcast On Demand. I view the "Day that Never Comes" video a couple times a week. I live about 1/2 way between Philly and Baltimore, and did hear Better on 98Rock (Baltimore) today, but have not heard it on a Philly station yet.

The video theory is right, even though videos aren't what they used to be in the glory days of MTIV/VH1 and pre-Internet immediacy, the impact would still prove helpful for maintaining hardcore fan interest and appealing to new fans, and regaining their spot in the public, American conscience.
I remember when SCOM video came out everyone was mesmerized by their "ultimate rock band image." Gnr have always been just as much about the perfect rock n roll image as the perfect rock n roll sound. Very rarely does a band have the perfect image to back up bad ass rock music, Gnr did. Most bands today focus on the image and how they are perceived in the media, but their music either sucks or is mediocre at best. The bad ass image of Gnr was reinforced by the bad ass music everyone was hearing on the radio. The two were a perfect match. Everyone was like, "Finally, a band that looks right and sounds right." A lot of bands had a good sound, but didn't look right, etc.
The new lineup needs to reintroduce themselves to the masses. They, like the old lineup, just have a "rock n roll look" about them that the general public could easily fall in love with all over again. The masses need to see that Gnr is a real band. They need to see Axl smiling and having fun, some live footage of the guys joking, laughing, smiling, visiting cities, touring the world, drinking Cokes, smoking cigarettes, picking guitars, warming up for shows, doing sound tests in stadiums, hanging out with girlfriends/wives/dogs, signing autographs, wearing rock T shirts, getting off of airplanes, etc. The masses will see their close bond, band unity, and above all, friendship. Hell, the new band has 8-9 years of live footage that would be perfect for a reintroduction video. Part of the reason the masses fell in love with the old band is because their videos gave them the since that Gnr was a "pack of good ol boys" making amazing rock music together.
The masses need to see a happy, confident Axl. An Axl who has a "band" and not just some hired musicians. Like it or hate, image was always a part of the Gnr package, so a video is necessary.

Even if people don't watch videos anymore I think a new Guns N' Roses video would be novel enough to get some attention. This is such a great beautiful catchy hard rocking song that I would be stunned if it doesn't catch on.
