Prostitute

[Continental Drift]

My 2nd favorite song on the album after "This I Love". It's a beauty... "Estranged" compressed into 6 minutes of "fire and ice".

The outro is absolutely stunning too...

[grog mug]

Best outro I've heard...I'm doing something similar for my album.

[dariano]

Absolutely amazing song to finish an fantastic cd, the lyrics are special and they are healtfelt the tempo picks up and grinds this song, it just kicks your ass! The piano, the drums, the guitar, the music is so complex and I just wish I had the right system to blow the neighbors off the block with this one!

My simple theory is that this song is for SS, and TIL is for EE. But I may be incredibly wrong...and for all we know it could be about a multitude of different people and events.

That's what Axl said.

In the booklet? I haven't read that.  

[COG]

the passage "ask yourself [...] to live with fortune and shame" is one of my favourite part in the album

a great song.

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.

so pretty much it's about whoever Axl is thinking about when he sings it?  Hmmmmmmmmmmm....that'd be the question to ask the man, then. Who does he think about when he sings it?

[novemberparadise23]

This song really grew on me a lot and it's now one of my favorites. at first i thought it was so- so but now i love it.

I guess what he was saying in a different reply is that the song should be more about who you're thinking about when you listen to it.

[Bodhi]

great track...very different from anything that GNR have ever done...this is probably the most unique sounding track on the album...I love every second of this song...

[Naltav]

This song ROCKS!!!

Love the drums! Kinda "unusual"  (if that makes sense...)   

Great fuckin' lyrics!  "Ask yourself / Why I would choose / To prostitute myself / And live with fortune and shame"

Can't wait to hear this one live. It's right up there with Estranged, at least in my book...

Speaking of Estranged, didn't Axl say in one of his recent chats, that they were considering to play it live again...?  (Couldn't find the quote...) 

[wells]

yes he said in the first chat something like 'maybe', but also later said he is more focused on new songs now for tour and I really hope so...

[gunns1]

either way its win win for the fans,
however I cant wait for prostitute and Riad live

[wells]

as I already said I can't wait to hear Chinese Democracy in whole live ... that would be amazing

[Buddha_Master]

Yea my thought exactly. I would be really really cool with GN'R just performing Chinese Democracy sequentially from beginning to end in concert. That would be amazing. Axl, seriously please consider this. This album is too brilliant, and I wouldn't substitute no not one goddamn song for a old GN'R song. If anything, play one of the classics in between some Chinese Democracy song but not in place of them.

This is for Jarmo, Hey buddy this just came to my mind so I got tell you now,remember years ago,around 2001 or 2002 (you have to remember)I've mentioned here few times that GN'R had a song called Prostitute,and totally you refused to believe there was a song called prostitute by GN'R. Most of those songs from the new Album were written and composed years ago,I just wanna mention it again that in fact there's a song by GN'R called Prostitute.

Umm, sure.

The title was first mentioned in 1999 in an article in Spin magazine.
