Commentary:

Axl liked Crystal Method's "Vegas" record quite a bit.

This track reminds me a lot of the bridge in "Silkworms"

Lyrics inspired by ex-girlfriends and Arab terrorists who do horrid things to women

SMIRKOWLS is not studio. that other video, 0:00-1:00 is not studio, the other part is not studio vocals either. the "bitch like you" line is gone.

Gotcha, thanks.

I wasn't sure about the first clip, now removed, but knew the stretch in the 2nd clip wasn't official. Hard to find these clips on YouTube to embed.

This may be the most we'll ever hear of that EDM nonsense recorded alongside the Beavan album.

this is the studio audio from that youtube video. this is not a new clip.

I can't believe how much SW has grown on me. Those studio snippets are fantastic and Axl screams

I still hope to hear the studio version someday. The song has a wildness and sense of humor not heard on any of the other Chinese Democracy tracks.
