is "Sorry" dedicated to Slash?

[Reformed Terrorist]

I would like Axl to tell us a bit more about this song and i don't think he will read up the song discussion thread. I've seen a lot of nonsense posted here in the news section lately so might as well post something to make you think about.makes a lot of sense.. read up the lyrics.. it's not meant for a woman. (i kick your ass like i said i would? i don't thinks so) Only Axl can tell...

[UcudBmine]

he said not

[Reformed Terrorist]

he said not

when? I never heard of it... sorry

[-Libertad-]

Osaka. Right after Live And Let Die.

[Vorail]

Woo hoo! I was quoted. Haha. 

[Estranged9]

well i still think the "shut up and sing " part goes to Mr Hudson

i mean the dude wrote a song called "What the Hell do you want to be " on that snakepit album , and the lyrics kinda hit home 

but iv always been a conspirator

[RickRoses]

He said none of the songs on CD are directed are just one thing or one person specifically, there are several meanings to each song

[jamillos]

Right, he said none of the songs is about just one particular person and I believe that. On the other hand, is HAS to be about some concrete people, right? And take a look at the part someone's cited already: “just shut up and sing” â€" and then remember Axl's Dec. chat when he said he was told (by Slash) just to sing on the songs that'd been already done â€" or fuck off...
Well I dunno but this would fit, wouldn't it... Hell, what would be a forum for if we couldn't run some conspiracies here.

thanks  and prostitute is not just about a prostitute ...

[jamillos]

thanks  and prostitute is not just about a prostitute ...

Not at all about a prostitute

[Reformed Terrorist]

Not at all about a prostitute

well it's in some kind of way but not really the message.

[comaman]

From the very first listen of Sorry to now I believe that Axl is singing about people in the media and all their conspiracy theories about Axl and Chin Dem.  I think the line "shut up and sing" references members in the media complaining about his ranting from the stage. 

[LoseYourIllusions]

Well to me Sorry does have different meanings to different people but i think that some are to slash for example :
"You don't know why
I won't act the way
You think I should"
&
"It's harder to live
With the truth about you
Than to live with
The lies about me"
& most of all
"Nobody owes you
Not one goddamn thing
You know where to put your
Just shut up and sing"
--I think that slash may have told axl that at a certain point in his life, and i think tht it does have a lot to do with slash

as 4 prostitute i think its about a woman who supposedly "loves" him but is just with him for the money
"Ask yourself
Why I would choose
To prostitute myself
To live with fortune and shame
Oh yeah
When you should
Have turned to the hearts
Of the ones
That you would not save"
--like a lot of actresses are *cough* stephanie seymoure *cough* *cough*

but thats just how I see it

[Reformed Terrorist]

I think is also about how they sell us ideas on how should we behave/act and why. It's just a matter of perspective and since it's called Chinese Democracy...
