As Axl said, the difference between him and Slash is that he (Axl) didn't hate every new type of music that came out. 

Axl liked Aerosmith, Hanoi Rocks, Queen, and Zeppelin so he incorporated those styles into his music.  Did that make him a poser?

So if he liked NIN and Pearl Jam why would adding those influences to what he was doing make him a poser? 

There was a funny quote, I think it may have been from Lars, where back in like '89 before NIN had become big, Axl was playing their songs.  There was a comment about how everyone else was still listening to Judas Priest.  The metal meatheads were all like "what the fuck is this shit?" and Axl made a comment along the lines of "this is going to be huge"

The band always took bits and pieces from other bands they liked and incorporated those sounds into their music, so I don't really get the argument that incorporating a style you like from the 70's is cool but if it's from the 90's it's fake

Nice breakdown pollux

I definitely think the song is primarily about Slash.  There are elements of it that could be about the media and certain groups of fans but overall it seems about a particular person, and definitely not a woman

I think that the parts about the person setting out to hurt him refers to the way Slash has repeatedly spoken about Axl in a negative light to the press.  The implication being that Slash knows Axl, knows he is a very private person, and understands that saying those things in a public forum would hurt him and does it anyway. 

The part about "nobody cares about you" probably has to do with how Slash has been interviewed about his Snakepit and VR albums but the interviewers always want him to talk about Guns and Axl. 

The "you've got all the answers, you know everything" part seems about how Slash has talked at length about the "right" way to make music and how Axl's methods don't line up his view of what's right. 

I love the "Nobody owes you, not one God damn thing" line, the way that it's sung and the way it fits the context of the song. 

The other thing is that he chose a song with such a beautiful, melodic Bucket solo to express these feelings which seems like an additional "fuck you"

Sorry is probably the best song on the whole album, but as a single I'm not sure.  I mean it's definitely hypnotic and gets stuck in your head, but it's 6 minutes long and takes almost 2 minutes to hit the chorus

Scraped would be a rock radio hit for sure, it is simple, heavy, the lyrics are easy to understand, and has the catchiest chorus on the album

This I Love, I refuse to judge based on the unlistenable version I heard, but it seems like it could go over well on top 40, pop radio

Axl doesn't give a fuck about a reunion

If his motivation was money, he would have done a reunion or released 4 albums since the breakup by now

He is rich, and his legend is intact, and he never has to work again.  His pride and principles will never allow a reunion to happen.  Even though Slash and Duff have all but begged for one in their interviews, the public and press would view a reunion as Axl crawling back to them.  He would rather vanish into the night than go out being viewed that way
