What does Ron have to do with it?  He plays guitar.

If Ron is going to leave, then it would make it that much easier for Tommy to leave as well since it will take god knows how long to find replacement for Ron, Axl could just find a replacement for Tommy at the same time.

Why is Tommy still in the band?

IF the mats reunite and they have been playing shows together, I could see him leaving soon, especially if the rumors are true that Ron is leaving after Vegas.

I always felt the solo in sorry is perhaps the best one minus TWAT on the record. Very bluesy and soulful.

I agree, I love the music in sorry, its just the lyrics that ruin it for me.

It could have been a great song with better lyrics

Did anyone ever try to remix the song taking out the lame lyrics.
Would the song even work with just repeating some of the good lyrics?:

I like that last quoted verse smile

Also, kind of the reverse of what you asked for but Evader did remix Sorry. It removed the awesome music and left Axls vocals hmm http://vimeo.com/70300287 . You could always track down the .moggs ripped from Rock Band game and remove the vocals smile I think I have them still if you want me to upload?

Im good thanks for the offer though.

The lyrics may not be his absolute best, but nor are they particularly sub par. The content is very typical Axl.

You could have Michael Bay direct the video and it would still not be a hit because the industry never wanted it to be.


If the songs on CD were great they would have been hits but they were mostly all overproduced and it took so long it had to be a perfect album like AFD to be a hit.

If CD was released in 2002 less produced it probably would have faired much better.

Sorry lyrics IMO are just horrible, its alway wollowing in self pity, thinking the whole world is out to get him.

Sorry could have been a huge hit if the lyrics were on par with his great songs and if it was released as a single.

I was listening to my iTunes on random and sorry came on.
I forgot how amazing the melody and even the chorus was on this song, Bucketheads work is killer on this song and Axl even sounds great but his childish lyrics just kill the song.
this song could have been a huge hit if the lyrics were not so lame. I really wish Axl would written better lyrics for this song.

And some of the lyrics in the song aren't that bad but some are just awful like

ou like to have me
Jump and be good
But I don't want to do it

Or

You've got all the answers
You know everything
Why nobody asked you
It's a mystery to me

or

You close your eyes
All well and good
I'll kick your ass
Like I said that I would

or

Nobody owes you
Not one goddamn thing
You know where to put your
Just shut up and sing



Those lyrics are just so awful.

The sad thing is the last verse is actually pretty damn good

You chose to hurt those that love you
And won't set them free

You don't need
Anyone else to be
Sorry for you
You've got no heart

You can't see
All that you've done for me
I know the reasons
You tear me apart

I realllllllly wish he'd come back. That was the nuGN'R sound. sad


I can't believe how Axl screwed this all up.

[insert Robin hater comment here]


I agree, he had BH and Robin who complemented each other very well, they were so different and unique.

Ron and DJ are so generic and boring.  I really hope we get the CD left over sessions sometime but the versions with Robin and BH not DJ and Ron.

how...in the world...do they keep getting booked as headliners in the US? Don't get me wrong, if they come to MA I'll gladly go see them because I love concerts and I'm a diehard, but seriously, I don't understand how this keeps happening. When they tour the US, they play to 1/2-3/4 full 15000 seat arenas.

Did you see all the crap or has been bands on that list?  Which one of them would headline over Axl? And few bands on that list that are decent wouldn't headline (like BLS) so who else would you pick? Its not like they are headlining over a band like Muse or anything.

Plus I could see Axl saying, well if I don't headline i am not playing.
