This song is really average...although a couple of the other new songs like "Madagascar" and "The Blues" are pretty good.
The album is in limbo because Axl Rose knows it is going to have to live up to the old material and it just isn't good enough. Velvet Revolver and other bands with ex-GNR members don't have to worry about that. Listen to "Oh My God" -- his new industrial direction just doesn't work.
I heard a 2002 interview with him in which he blamed the endless delays on record companies not giving preference to old bands, so poor old Axl has to produce it himself, be the A&R guy etc. Is he perhaps forgetting that his record company has sunk 13 MILLION dollars into a record that will probably never surface (even if it did, it would undoubtedly tank artistically and commercially)?
