I'm absolutely blown away by the quality of this record. Did not expect this at all. After Apocalyptic Love I had written Slash off. This album is light-years beyond that though.
I'm going to see slash in November was mostly going for his legacy. Now I want to see him play this record in full. for me this is as good as his best work in GNR. Better than anything on UYI including coma.

I would imagine Ron feels like a bit of an idiot at the minute.
In 2006 he had the world at his feet. He was poised after years of hard work to be the next "big thing", in terms of guitar players.
When he joined with guns he put his entire solo career on hold and all that momentum was lost. Now he's just the guy who replaced Buckethead and threw some guitar noodles on CD.
Flash forward to DJ Ashba joining the band. Ashba never gave up his solo career. In fact, it's gone from strength to strength since he joined GNR.
While Ron was launching a hot sauce line DJ was putting out "This is Gonna Hurt".
While Ron was recovering from a car accident DJ was recording Modern Vintage. GNR has been great for DJ's solo career and it has been terrible for Ron's.
I bet he is feeling that right now and wishing he'd kept his solo career going on the side.
He put out normal in 2005 then Abnormal in 2008 then CD came out later that year and since CD he hasn't released anything of any substance.
He has spent the last 6 years touring the same old cover songs and his own music hasn't moved forward an inch.
Now he's pissed about it and probably blaming GNR and Axl for it.

He just needs to get recording an album of his own on the side again and keep doing his own music. I can't imagine that touring GNR songs is very fulfilling for the guys in the band with the exception of maybe Dizzy. Over the past few years they've all been releasing solo material in the wake of CD.

Everyone but Ron has been doing music under their own name. Ron, not so much. He's done lots of collab work but so have all the rest of the guys. He hasn't had an album that was all his in quite some time.

There is a lot of multi-tracked vocal chant work in that song if you listen carefully.

I always thought it was a reference to the Beatles  "Yesterday". It sounds like the response to  the line "Yesterday came suddenly".
