ChineseIRS Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Who cares if there is. Slash openly admitted there were songs on the first Snakepit album about Axl. Im sure they can get past it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandallFlagg Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I said earlier, Sorry is Axl's interpretation of How Do You Sleep? by Lennon, there's quite a clear link between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trin9498 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Sorry is about Slash. One of the worst songs I've ever heard. Pathetic effort from Axl.Normally I agree with you but not here.......Sorry is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I respect your opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I feel like Sorry should have been track 2 on CD. Chi dem followed by Sorry and TWAT would have been epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsfan Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Sorry is about Slash. How can anyone not see that?Which is funny, because Sorry is the best song of ChiDem, and it took Slashs involvement for axl to write a good song I'd be willing to bet Axl has had a good chuckle of that now knowing he's come to terms with things..Who cares if there is. Slash openly admitted there were songs on the first Snakepit album about Axl. Im sure they can get past it.They probably already are, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-W.A.R- Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 (edited) the reason i don't think sorry is all about slash is because he says " the difference nobody cares about you"Axl isn't naive enough to think Slash doesn't have any fans or isn't more respected than himself? right?i mean every week theres somebody saying they shit in his orange juice or they wished they broke his nose Edited September 16, 2015 by -HollywoodRose- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetterDay7 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I think that some lines in most of the songs could be directed against Slash, but then again, that's how Axl writes his lyrics, in a way that you could relate them in most cases. I guess that's why I liked CD so much.For instance, I think that the outro of SOD screams Slash:"What this means to me is more than I know you belivewhat I thought of you know, has caused more than it should for mewhat I thought was true befor were lies I couldn't seewhat I thought was beautiful, is only memories".And Sorry, obviously, is a solid candidate, where for me, Axl describes how he percieved the breaking of GN'R.Edit: Oh yeah, and Madagascar! Even the title of the song tells a lot how Axl felt. Madagascar, once a part of the mainland, but broke lose, and drifted so far away, no longer a part of the mainland.I agree - I think there are lots of lines on CD that could be about Slash. TWAT: Verse two is about former bandmates - probably Slash, Duff, and Steven - with its references to “cocaine in the hall.” References are made to lawyers and “non-negotiations”, as well as cheap sex, probably from groupies in “never mind who gave you head”... which I've seen as being directed at Slash and possibly the others. CD is an old record, with songs written almost 20 years ago, why are we still discussing this shit?CD should be forgotten, there's nothing good there, only bitterness and stupidity.We're still discussing AFD and UYI (as fans, not the mainstream that propelled mentioned albums to the stratosphere).CD is part of GNRs discography and history. And a great album as far as I'm concerned I'm a relatively new fan and I listen to CD most days. i LOVE it. And saying that it was written 20 years ago isn't really a basis for not talking about an album. If it was then magazines like Classic Rock, which talk about old albums, wouldn't exist. I'm not going to not talk about Young Americans (Bowie) or The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (Genesis) cos they were made in in the 1970s, for example!

RandallFlagg Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 (edited) You say Axl isn't naive enough but he's also claimed he IS gnr and he was always gnr, he's sought to both erase and respect Slash's contributions, it's a convoluted topic and the time he composed Sorry wouldn't have been a time where he was particularly grateful to Slash.'You know where to put your ''just shut up and sing''... we all know that argument's place in GNR lore and there's literally no debunking how that pertains to Slash though I agree different sections could relate to different origins.
