Whiskey Rose Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I still think Axl had Slash in mind when he wrote a lot of those lyrics, so yes, as much as I like the song itself, I find it a bit awkward too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskey Rose Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 4 minutes ago, Sosso said: Street of Dreams for example “What I thought was beautiful don't live inside of you anymore“ Those as well. Which could even relate back to when he thought Slash's soul left his body when he OD'd, if we wanna get really deep. As far as what @StrangerInThisTown was saying, I really don't think someone, a musician, as intense and emotional as Axl is, can go through a breakup like that, and not write about it. Purely my own conjecture though of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucketfoot Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 If it doesn't bother Slash to play it, why would anyone feel awkward about it? He clearly couldn't give a fuck if it's about him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Wow. You really read in to the lyrics. It could be tomthe record company, his dad, lawyers, something from a book, or a combination of things. most likely it's something we know nothing about. i love how people know the music, performances, a somewhat limited set on interviews, but believe we can psychoanalyze axl. kind of when a 14 year old thinks he's got the whole workd figured out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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/ Lol really? That's your source? An articel from blabbermouth written conspicuously partial like it's composed by MSL? I have another source that claims otherwise. Marc is clearly making assumptions and he says so. So no facts either. I don't think it's that hard to keep staying to the facts and to don't act like something I wanna to be true is true at all. In this particular case nobody knows what happend except for Slash, Axl, Perla, and Beta. It's possible that even Axl doesn't know what happened if Beta didn't tell him the truth just "to protect" him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SoulMonster Posted July 15, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 15, 2017 More credit to Slash for playing on a song that is thought to be directed at and critical of him. Like every other song, the lyrics doesn't necessarily have to be applicable today. Every song is a snapshot of how things were, and in Sorry's case, probably a mix of topics. The band doesn't refrain from playing other songs that they might not feel represent them anymore, either. So again, more props to Slash playing on it. It's good to not deny history, even if it is unpleasant. And by doing this, in my opinion, he is saying that bygones are bygones and let's just enjoy the music and the history. He might even find it amusing to play on a song with lyrics thought to be directed against himself. It is possible if you are not too stuck up on yourself. What comes across as deeply serious matters at the fan forums may not be as incredibly important to those actually involved. Or maybe Slash is just very daft. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Live Like a Suicide Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 No. The song isn't specifically about any one member of the band. Plus, it's a great song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stress Fracture Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Fleetwood Mac have been performing such songs together for decades. 'Stevie, before you leave, don't forget to do the harmonies for the chorus on this song about how I'm dumping you.' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scream of the Butterfly Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Weird, yes, but in a good way. The fact that the song was allegedly written about Slash is just the thing that makes it cool to see him play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zurimor Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 The CD haters in this thread again....lol! Seems like whenever a song from CD is mentioned, some of you just have to say what a bad idea it is to play any of them and how bad they are. I don't find it strange, I guess they settled their conflict and are on good terms now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB. Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I liked hearing Slash saving most those songs. I never really got into CD, not enough feel into the songs or something. Slash as no other can bring a song to life and imo he does it with the CD songs. Except for Better, they shouldn't play it at all imo. I don't like how Slash plays that and Axl can't sing it well enough anymore. I loved hearing Sorry, Slash totally saved it and it was pretty good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Dog Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I honestly don't care who or what a song is really about as long it sounds good to my ears. Unless it's very specific like a rap diss track or something and names are getting called out. Plus if he's cool with playing it then I'm cool with watching it. I probably like the original better but that has nothing to do with it might be about Slash or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
