That line can't be about Slash, cause like it or not, people fucking care about Slash.
I think its about a host of different people. Certain lines are definitely about the old band though.
You keep repeating that. Who are you trying to convince? yourself maybe?

I definitely think each verse targets a different 'enemy'.
The third definitely seems, to me at least, to be the press. I'm not sure about the other two, though there's certainly plenty of options.

I'm sure Axl will have something to say about all the internet specualtion on who Sorry is about....Kind of like he did w/ "Better"...I think it was at the 1st Hammermith show..He made a statement about fans specualting who wrote what..And he cleared the air stating Robin came in w/ the music for Better.
Maybe there's a "sequal" to "Sorry" called "Can't we all jus' get along."...

I think (most of) the speculation on this song can be laid to rest now. Axl Rose's post on Sorry:
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.

agree, but reading what he posted yesterday, i think the "just shut up and sing" phrase its pretty obvious for whom is it
"And I?m not talking change of styles or sounds etc. A lot of people bought that crap and me having gone in other directions seems to many to have verified that. Then you have the mind twisting equally as true horseshit in Slash?s book but I have the rehearsal tapes. There?s nothing but Slash based blues rock and he stopped it to both go solo and try to completely take over Guns. I read all this if Axl would?ve put words and melodies on it could?ve? That was denied and I didn?t walk till several months after having 3 to 4 hour phone conversations nearly every day with Slash trying to reach a compromise. I was specifically told no lyrics, no melodies,
no changes to anything and to sing what I was told or fuck off

It's clearly about Slash in part at least, but can people just take Axl's comment on it and stop speculating? Nobody can claim to know what he's thinking.

I like how in the first quote Axl wants the fans to get what they want out of the music before he says what its really about and why he wrote it. That speaks volumes that he'd rather people see what it means to them before he says anything.
The second part at the end "No changes to anything and to sing what I was told or fuck off" I think I'd be a little ticked off as well if someone I was in a band with told me that.

This song is so powerful for me that I feel IRS has to live in its shadow. After it ends, I just like to spend a few quiet moments in a void.

Guess it's nearly undisputable that this song is about Slash,
Great song!

This is a very powerfull song, and i think its also kind of a healing song, I love the way Axl openly spoke his heart in it. It was about time some trues were told. I dont think its tottaly directed to just one person but you can easily relate one person to it. All the songs seem to me like Axl's soul talking.
