Re: What did Axl consider to be "Big Guns"
The Brando/Coppola comparison is very good.
Sorry just pisses me off. Great music. Great Vibe. Great chorus. Great outro. But fuck those lyrics are terrible. Why did he have to pick that song to be a "fuck you to someone" song. There are even moments in the lyrics that are great.
He should have got Chris Cornell to help write the song. It would have been a perfect dark, Doors/Zeppelin esq lullaby. Can you imagine him using one of the layered vocal tracks with that creepy, evil rasp from SCOM '99? Damn...
What a blown opportunity.:flame:

The only albums in his discography not on par or better than Chinese Democracy are his three solo albums, the last Audioslave album, and Ultramega OK.
Even Axl said Cornell "buries" him, and he wasn't lying. Ten years were spent on this album and there's not one song on it that kicks as much ass as Cochise and Show Me How to Live, and those aren't even Cornell's best songs.

Re: What did Axl consider to be "Big Guns"
I think a lot of fans like sorry because it deals with Axl's views on a variety of the the topics we like to talk about on here. But i just feel it's the weakest of the tracks. But having said that I think the whole of CD is at a very high standard in terms of songwriting.
Cornell is hit and miss for me. When he writes a song I love it's killer, but when he doesn't he really doesn't. But at the end of the day i like them both...there's so few good singers in the rock genre that we really dont need to play them off against each other...

Cornell is like Axl in the sense he needs major talent around him to bring out the best in his abilities. Has only a handful of decent tracks on his solo efforts, but in Soundgarden and Audioslave he was on fire and pretty much untouchable.
I'm really, REALLY hoping for a Soundgarden reunion. Like Axl, he has about a three or four year window before its meaningless and nothing but a worthless cash grab that the public may or may not embrace.
Re: What did Axl consider to be "Big Guns"
:)I've never got the love for Sorry, its so fucking mundane. I like some of the vocal melodies Axl does though, like the "nobody owes you..." part. Its old school Axl, completely underused on the album. I do love the variety of vocal styles on the album very much, I just wish that particular style had been used a couple more times, and not on those lame ass lines. For me now all those lines are is wank fodder for snooty GN'R forum dweebs to brainlessly quote, thinking their getting one up on someone they dont like.
I'll take Scraped over that song any day off the week
