I think it's a great song at its core. Definitely a big gun. Perhaps not as epic as we were lead to believe, but fantastic nonetheless. Axl sounds amazing on the chorus. CD in general lacks good choruses (all these unintentional puns!).
What I don't like about it is the production. That hip hop drum or whatever that drones on in the background sounds terrible to me. Feels like you are playing a scratched record almost. And it gets worse as the song progresses. You get sort of used to it, but it would have been better with a more rock n roll beat.

Yes, same here. I was expecting a more complex concept with more structure and something really epic. I remember someone saying in the past that TG had AN opera section with some opera singer collaboration.
The song is a mesh for me. Bad mix, Axl voice without any rasp at the end sounds horrible. The only good thing the Slash solo at the end. Just my opinion.

Re: Tracks missing from the leaked CD's
We already have half album CD 2 ... For me it's far worse than chinese democracy.
Chinese, Better, CITR, TWAT, street of dreams, Prostitute, Shacklers, This i love... All of them much better than any of the singles we have from cd2
