It's about Slash and that's pretty obvious.
It's what Axl thinks about Slash, the "just shut up and sing" refers to Axl always saying that from day one Slash wanted to take over GN'R, as he once said "He came to the studio, took out my cassette and inserted his" and that Slash and propably the media or the other GN'R members thought that Axl would submit to this.
"You tell them stories" is about Slash being a media whore (who he is, jumping from one interview to the next) and the "i kicked your ass" could be a metaphor for Axl kicking Slash out of the band and now owning all naming rights to GN'R, he as won most of the lawsuits regarding the band, the song catalogue and the names.
While the song is pretty hateful (I think Slash's "answer" Crucify the Dead is a lot more positive) it's a good song, in my oppinion the best on CD. Musically it's like Black Sabbath with a bit Pink Floyd in it.
