I tried sending this ages ago but apparently it never went through. It was a direct response but now fits others questions on the same subject.
The whole whose it about bit w/songs doesn't work for me that much as in whether a line or whatever was inspired by a particular person or situation doesn't mean that in the end that's what or who the song's about.
I could be working with clay and think of someone or something and somehow that could inspire me to take the work in a different direction at the moment but in the end it could just be a nice vase.
I often wonder where the people who inspired so many songs are now and why it's only important with some songs such as Layla as opposed to others. I'm guessin' a fair # of beautiful love songs or otherwise were inspired by some that the artists and public might consider now or in hindsight to be the opposite of how they are depicted or allegedly represented.
With Sorry.. like a lot of the material is drawn from a lot of different situations. The main focus on the boards w/the track seems to be either Slash or "the fans" (and the collective of "the fans" is another thing that doesn't work for me) and is much too restrictive or narrow and limits what I feel I intended.
For me it's for anyone talking nonsense at mine and the public's expense and that many of those as well as the public don't know who to believe.
Also where possible I'd like to give people the opportunity to get what they can from the material for a while before clouding that with my inspirations. Of course that's not always avoidable."

They keep mentioning them being "bottled off" in Dublin, really hope they dont appear too late in Glasgow, it's a Friday night so it'll be full of drunk punters who snap into lets cause some carnage mode at the drop of a hat

Guns N' Roses announce seven-date UK arena tour for May
The US rock band will start the concerts in Nottingham on 19 May.
They will then play dates in Liverpool, Newcastle, Glasgow, Birmingham and Manchester before finishing at London's O2 Arena on 31 May.
The original members of Guns N' Roses are due to appear together on the same stage in April as the band is inducted into the US Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame.
Guns N' Roses is made up of singer Axl Rose, keyboardists Dizzy Reed and Chris Pitman, bassist Tommy Stinson, rhythm guitarist Richard Fortus, drummer Frank Ferrer plus lead guitarists Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal and DJ Ashba.
Former members include Slash, Steven Adler, Izzy Stradlin, Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum.
Other bands being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio, on 14 April include Red Hot Chili Peppers and Beastie Boys.
Guns N' Roses last performed together in the UK in 2010.
They were bottled off stage at a concert in Dublin after they arrived on stage nearly an hour late and their set was cut short after they played past their curfew at Reading that year.
The band say they are working on new material at the moment.
Their last album, 2008's Chinese Democracy, made it to number two in the UK album chart.
The UK tour dates are as follows:
Nottingham Capital FM Arena - 19 May
Liverpool Echo Arena - 20
Newcastle Metro Radio Arena - 23
Glasgow SECC - 25
Birmingham LG Arena - 26
Manchester Evening News Arena - 29
London O2 Arena - 31
Tickets for the tour go on sale on Friday 3 March at 9am.

Think I'll go to the opening show on the Saturday in Nottingham, then my glorious Friday night hometown show in Glezga, and possibly the last show of the tour in London, depending on how flush I am.
#495 Re: Guns N' Roses » GN'R returns to the UK » 766 weeks ago
The uk media always tries to put people off going to the shows by having a negative slant to their announcements, does my nut in but pretty used to it by now.
Pretty funny how despite all their attempts the shows are always packed out.
Wonder how this tour will sell though, wasnt that long since they were in the UK, and the media will go all out to remind people of the Reading and Leeds fiasco.
But Glasgow will be bouncing thats for damn sure

That looks pretty awesome, I'd more than be happy to pay for that if I liked U2 lol, would be amazing if GNR ended up with the same kind of quality offerings.
I agree completely about "baby steps", the band has come on lightyears of late with their public relations with the fan base, its still pretty cumbersome at times, but this is a whole new ball game to them, so all in all they are doing pretty fuckin well.
The website is glitchy as hell, it has problems that I never even knew existed lol, just shows how ship shape things are on these fan made forums 
#499 Re: Guns N' Roses » New Tommy Interview » 767 weeks ago
I dont believe theres a new album coming, but it does seem like the band are starting to become more vocal about where they want the band to go.
Funny we havnt heard from Ron on this subject for quite a while, unless I've missed it.
#500 Re: Guns N' Roses » GN'R returns to the UK » 767 weeks ago
