Couldn't you just plop the vocals from the Rock Band multitracks onto the instrumental demo of Sorry? Sure, it'd be a Frankenstein's monster and not a "real" demo, but needs must...

It wouldn't work.

The guitar would drown out the main chorus.

I really wish "Sorry" had an alternative cut with better lyrics ala "Don't Cry (alt)".

'Sorry''s kinda sappy. I don't think the lyrics are much of an issue. Tempo during verses & chorus probably needs to be sped up a bit. Bridge/Pre-chorus is the best part.

Huh? How does the first statement not contradict the second?

The "I'll kick your ass" line is the worst thing Axl's ever written.

The chorus lyrics are solid.

He made a powerful song with Civil War level potential about personal vendetta.

Axl is better than that.

1:38-1:56 & 4:15-4:35

and its just too slow. Sorry I prolly haven't listened to it in about 10 years so I don't know all the lines, yeah, the I'll Kick Your Ass In is dumb, but the song sounds like music for a ballad with Jah Rule & JLo or something.

Sorry is real rocks and diamonds for me.

Some very cheesy moments but some real zingers as well. ‘It’s harder to live with the truth about you, than to live with the lies about me’ is absolute gold.

This is why I will never bother listening to a fan edit of including the vocals on the demo.

The instrumental has a chilling doom and gloom, existential vibe to it.

It deserved so much more than being a song aimed at Slash and other "enemies".

I wish Bucket or someone had stood up to him and said that the lyrics aren't acceptable.

Having said that....

One of his best lines ever.

I get what you're saying there.

In my perfect world it gets a heavy version like the demo and and more uptempo pop version so it's more singable.

Absolutely.

imo, the song is supposed to an anti-war, powers-that-be song, but of course Axl can't help himself doing the Blacklist whinge first.

He probably had the same experience everyone else did. Release an album? Write lyrics? Do/re-do vocals?
