If you believe MSL, and I do, there is animosity and jealousy towards Slash from that clique because of the different way the media and fans view them.  Slash has a pop culture status as a loveable anti-hero while Axl has the status of being an just being an asshole.

Slash gave a lot of interviews in the late 90's and early 2000's basically calling Axl an asshole and largely responsible for all the band splitting. The clique believes he fed these flames whilst promoting himself as innocent.

Of course Axls behaviour in the 90's has nothing to do with the public perception of him

Axls press release, the one talking about Slash visiting his house and publicly making malicious claims about what Slash had drunkingly said. That was a real low blow in my book, it was such a spiteful way to try and turn people against Slash.

The twat voice is on there like an afterthought, a last minute addition harking back to the Illusions.

I'm not much of a fan of the lyrics, dont like my Guns N Roses records sneering at original members, also they are just plain corny at times. The reoccuring theme of self pity throughout the album is also wearing a bit thin by that point. Its only some nice musicianship that makes it worthwhile imo.

I thought it could be a another reference to fans because of heckling during guitar solos and instrumentals.
Axl kept making snide sarcastic comments to the Glasgow audience, because some people shouting for songs during guitar, piano solos and the jams. I know he did that elsewhere on the last tours as well.

I think Sorry is targeted at fans, Slash and media.

Hmmm Shacklers, This I Love and mabye Prostitute. Shacklers is my least favourite for sure, its a b-side or at least shouldnt have the prestigious slot as song 2 on the album. It should have been buried further in.
