I thought that they always considered Prostitute to be a Big Gun.

Axl's favourites in 2006 were TWAT, Better and The Blues, although the latter was played when he said we hadn't heard the big guns. Prostitute wasn't hyped by any band member as far as I know, but Brain mentioned The General several times and Dizzy's favourite was Scraped (Lies They Tell, how he named it).

Was it Axl who coined the phrase "big guns"? I thought it was Tommy or Dizzy.

He was lying again. The Boy Who Cried Wolf.
He said that CD, Blues, Madagascar, Rhiad, Silkworms, were B-Sides, and wouldn't be on the album.

Did anyone really believe him?

If he hadn't of hyped this album for so long it owuldn't have bitten him in the ass so hard.

Is that a lie or a change of plan though? a lot of things changed between when he said that and when the album was released. If bucket had remained with the band, and dynamics had worked better, they may have recorded countless new songs and that stuff may have been B sides. But it didn't go that way.

Better, TWAT, Prostitute I guess. It depends. There might be a few of them left behind for later releases. But they won't be of a heavenly better quality than Better or TWAT etc etc. Down the same road.

Not that its a bad thing.

Big guns should be The General, This I Love, Prostitute, Atlas

I don't remember Axl even mentioning the word "Prostitute" before the albums release. I think most of that hype for that song was created by fans starting rumours.
