IncitingChaos Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I'd like a redo on the vocals, just a lower tone would be killer, but I never hated the song. I still listen to it now and again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Słash Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 This song is basically Axl begging Stephanie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Słash Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Each to his own, but Its just not my type of a song. The live performances are pretty good. I would see this rather than Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 When I first glanced up I thought thread title was "Prostitutes are wonderful" 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I just think it sounds like Coldplay or U2, i.e. really dull and boring. I've not really analysed the lyrics too much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Message for you would have been a good title, but Prostitute pretty much sums it all up in one strong word 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when the album came out and when I heard the real TIL, I was like this sounds different, but I really fell in love with TIL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendez Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 (edited) I dont see any cringe in any lyrics. They all represent what was in his heart and thats what matters. There are meh lyrics, but never any that make me uncomfortable. (Aka cringe). Might as well say SCOM and NR are cringe worthy as well by that rationale. Actually for me, the only cringe worthy lyrics are ones that are overly self referencing. Like the lyric "Listen motherfuckers to this song that should be heard". That one is horrible imo Edited September 23, 2016 by Mendez 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appetite4illusions Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 The title was always way cooler than the song ended up being. All those years, when "Prostitute" was name-dropped in the gossip articles, I got to expecting a very different type of song. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Another amazing CD song. Never got a chance to hear it done live, but yeah the words are so strong and emotional. Love the ending with just the piano and strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSoftie Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I was listening to the rock band stems of this, it's a fucking incredible composition. Really beautiful. It's sad that you can't hear all the layers together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Jay Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I don't listen much to ChDm these times, but if I had to listen to Prostitute I would listen the 'enjoy them, just for you' last verse after the first buckethead solo. Axl seems sincere here and then last chorus with the fabulous ending, it gets me everytime. It's a short song made me think, the build up of the song is somewhat pompus though, but great climax.

AlterL Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 That song is actually my favorite GN'R tune. Ever. I used to listen to it all the time, even now it still comes up in my playlist often enough although lately I've been listening more to TWAT and Street of Dreams, definitely a great composition not to mention the beautiful solos by Buckethead, not often you get to hear a solo with such technique, melody and speed, real masterpieces right there. Always made me curious as to what else could Axl have been sitting on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RONIN Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Great song, but like every song on Chinese Democracy....it needs Izzy, Duff, and Slash to make it a classic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanity_lost Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I think it is really a beautiful song. ... and to make it even more fun you can project many different means on it while you listen to it. The boring- singing to Stephanie or Erin. Or the more interesting: to the band or to himself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like asking "why am I going to prostitute myself to you?". I feel it lines up well with him retiring from the public eye and being extremely stingy on releasing music 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it's about CD itself, himself and the direction he went in and what a struggle it was, Slash and the others leaving, the fans/critics and all the expectations that go with all of that. I kind of imagine him singing it into a mirror. I still think its about her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
