AlterL Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I think people see what they want to see, and the same thing happens when they hear Axl's lyrics. They give them a meaning that fits their narrative even if there's no real evidence behind their theories. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOVEMBER COMA Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 There may be a few in the CD album but a definite one from Slash's point was 'Crucify the Dead' : "We had the same dream, lived life to the extreme, a loaded gun jammed by a Rose" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in the chats, Axl says at least Slash was saying something similar to shut up and sing. Fascinating info from that quote you posted. Do you have any more context on the quote? Like Slash had songs with lyrics done and all he wanted was Axl to sing what was written? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What this means to me means more than I know you believe Even if Axl came out and said the song has nothing to do with any of the GN'R guys, I'd have a hard time accepting that answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Slash had songs with lyrics done and all he wanted was Axl to sing what was written? I think it was around the time the initial feuds began. Slash laid down riffs to some songs (one of them possibly the initial stages of 'Fall to Pieces')...Axl wanted to put his input into the songs and was basically told to "just worry about singing it" or something along those lines.....totally from the rumor mill, btw.

jellyzero Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Sorry = Matt Sorum The shut up and sing part stems from the UYI tour when Axl ran off stage pissed off and Matt had finally had enough of it and went back stage basically telling him that he should "shut up and sing".

Apollo Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 5 hours ago, mikeman5150 said: Even though Axl says otherwise, I don't think you can deny that "sorry" is about slash. Some say it was about about Stephanie, but I don't think she ever told Axl to just shut up and sing. So you are saying that Axl lied? As somebody who has always hated the media and felt like they go out of their way to tear him down, isn't more logical to think the line could be directed at them? Or at the people (critics, media, non fans or even fans) who bash Axl for his ranting on stage and just want to see him sing the songs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Axl takes a video selfie of himself, holding a newspaper, and delivers a short message saying TIL isn't about Slash" then we clearly should assume that it is - in fact - about Slash. 3 hours ago, AlterL said: I think people see what they want to see, and the same thing happens when they hear Axl's lyrics.

The album was not meant to be the follow-up. Some of the riffs contained were written for the next GNR album. Those riffs were rejected by Axl so he brought them to Eric and co, and they became the songs on 5oC. After which Axl changed his mind and said he wanted to work with the riffs after all, and he also threatened to sue Slash, but it was too late.

Agree written by Ozzy who I think said in an article that this song is about 'all former bandmates'. Hard to believe with those lyrics that it is not directed at Axl. Great song.

'intended to be the follow up' was about as brief of an explanation as I could give but anyway, I thought most/all of it was at some point intended for GNR and Axl/Duff only wanted to work on a handful of the songs? And when Slash saw that they weren't gonna be used he put together It's Five O'clock Somewhere. But most songs were intended for Guns initially.

The only song I know for sure (but I'm sure many others were as well) is 'Fall to Pieces' (or a variation of the song) I believe Axl stated that he heard the initial riffs of the song one of the last times he had been in contact with Slash (or Slash's camp), before the eventual breakup, in one of his interviews.

I thought I read somewhere on this forum that Ozzy was credited as the songwriter so that Axl wouldn't sue Slash but that the song was in fact written by Slash (probably with Ozzy as input though). Edit: Nevermind the song was written by Ozzy but it's based on what he would tell Axl if he we're in Slash's shoes! http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/ozzy-says-crucify-the-dead-lyrics-are-what-he-would-say-to-axl-rose-if-he-were-slash/ Edited March 7, 2016 by youngswedishvinyl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
