username Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 It kind of made me feel awkward. It's such a spiteful song that's very much inspired by Axl and Slash's conflict. The "Shut up and sing" line is a direct reference to what a bandmember (I think Slash?) said to Axl. And it just kind of feel weird to me watching Axl sing that song and particularly that line while standing next to Slash. I like the current version of the song better than the album version, but still that was kind of weird. Did anybody else notice that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killuridols Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Ugh, no. But I do agree those lines and the whole lyrics are a bit cringeworthy. Sounds like teenage angst sang by a 55years old guy, lol- The melody is beautiful though. Wasted music with such lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I got censored when they first played it for saying Slosh is being bummed up the arse. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick85 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Yeah, not only the "You know where to put your "just shut up and sing" line, but also the "I'll kick your ass like I said that I would" bit. Always thought that Axl was referring to the time he very publicly wigged out on Slash onstage in December of 1991 and told him he was going to "kick his ass" in front of a stadium crowd, for which he later apologized to Slash for.

El Guapo Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 (edited) The song sucks in my opinion, especially the super boring chorus...it shouldn't be played at all! Play Shadow of your love instead, this make the hardcore fans happy and that song is very easy to get into in a live situation if you never heard it before.

soon Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I love Slash, and Axl sure hasn't done himself a lot of favours over the years. But at the end of the day I kinda love that Axl - as Slash himself apparently said - is the victor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opps, he is alleged to have said that in there 20 year battle axl has proven himself to be "the stronger" and that axl had "won". This was the infamous 2005 house call Slash made to Axls place, which Im sure you know about, but it wasnt clear that I was referencing since I mis spoke. I said "the victor" I should have said "won." To me, in the context, it doesnt change the jist of what I am saying. Slash gave in, Axl won their battle of wills. http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/axl-rose-says-slash-made-unannounced-visit-to-his-home-in-october/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnrcane Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 (edited) Didn't Steven Tyler write Sweet Emotion as an insult song targeted at Joe Perry's girlfriend at the time? That had to be more awkward than Slash playing Sorry. Edited July 14, 2017 by Gnrcane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
