Prostitute

[Voodoochild]

Broken record, that's what it seems.

I love Prostitute and the other day I noticed some nice synth in some verses, along with a really awesome rhythm guitar arrangement by Bucket and Robin.

I'm really curious about how the song will sound live, if Axl will play it on piano or not, if Ron would play it with or without the whammy...

Or Chris on the Bubble Machine!

This is the last thing I always listen to as I fall asleep.

What a perfect way to end the day.

Me...also, headphones on, so relaxing

That's how I do it too!  For a peaceful night's sleep, the Dr. recommends Prostitute. 

(And I don't see how anyone can compare this song to track #11 from the fourth studio release from Guns N' Roses, other than a dominant piano and deep lyrics.  I just don't, sorry.)

And do we have more people hearing bubbles now?

[seely]

^Yes! I heard them for the first time the other day, they're odd, but i dont thnk they're apparant enough to interfere with the song fortunately

[AxlsMainMan]

I still can't hear 'em.

Must be listening to Better too loud

[ppbebe]

try it on a surround sound system or headphones, AxlsMainMan. it's like 3d from 2d.

Some people just want to dwell on the past and talk about the old days, and they'll turn any topic possible into that new vs old tired ass bullshit.   Its because they are sad bitter people. 

I dont understand how you can label people bitter when you have no idea who they are. Comments like D's do not represent a bitter person. GnR will always be compared to the past. Im not saying it should always be like that but that is just life.

Btw, I guess your characterizing Axl as a sad, bitter person because a lot of the lyrical content on CD dwells on the past. Almost every song.

If we must talk about ex-members, cant it be guys like Buckethead or Paul Huge or Josh Freese?  at least then we're in the same era and they all contributed to the latest album.

If you talk about Bucket and or Robin then you still get labeled as a hater. So you cant really win unless your kneeling at the alter with whatever lineup is out there at the current time.


As for Prostitute....amazing song. I am totally into the lyrics right now with what Im going through in my life right  now. Without a doubt this song has moved up the chain of amazing CD and GNR songs. Is it Estranged? I dont think so. You can make the argument that Estranged is the best GNR song ever. And that is coming from someone who didnt like the song for the longest time. I never got why everyone loved it for like the first 2 years I started listening to GNR. Then one day I saw the light.  Its not really trying to be Estranged though. Prostitute is its own peaceful song.

is there any singer that sings about their future experiences?

incorrect. They are on cd and we're talking about them alright.
But if you go on 'bring back bh!' ignoring the fact that he left of his own accord then you've got a problem.

I posted time markers for when the bubbles come in earlier in this thread.

you know damn well there are a lot of bitter people on these GnR boards.  Most of them don't post here.

We don't always have to compare everything to the past.   Its totally ok to just accept and like the present without bringing up certain former guitar players.

my sentiments exactly. some of these so called "fans" like to subtly turn every thread into something controversial by comparing it to past recordings or giving their opinion on what guitar player "could have made the song better." they think they're being slick with their "it's a legitimate question" spill, but it's very easy to recognize a troll's agenda. you can smell the bitterness from miles away. such a sad life these "fans" must lead.

Prostitute is its own peaceful song.

It's a healer. somewhat fatherly or brotherly but kids are fast asleep.

yep i saw that. you're not implying that I should dive and find the monkey for AxlsMainMan, are you?

[marknroses]

Prostitute is a great closer.

Definitely a "closure" song of sorts. It puts to rest the aggression and frustration and energy on the record and it truly zones out.
I think it compares to the end of Double Talkin' Jive more than anything with Slash taking those leads on Spanish Guitar.

Its not even close to Estranged. Most (90%) of the fans of CD believe that Estranged is the greatest songs ever made (including myself). That has impacted the way that fans now listen to CD because you cannot go between AFD and CD without UYI in the middle to bridge it out and songs like Estranged kinda help make the musical and lyrical transition over.

Maybe if they made a kick ass video for it, it would begin to approach Estranged on a minimally comparable level, but that song will forever live in the hearts of those who have heard it.

Yeah you're so right, it's the video that makes the song.

Just so I understand, what does the 'Prostitute' discussion thread have to do with some asshole's playing on DTJ? Oh, that's right. It doesn't.  If you're such a big fan of an ex-member's guitar playing, why don't you go and talk about that in the "I can't get over 1988 section". I think most of us here are interested in talking about Guns N Roses, not some lying media whore's guitar style.

Oh, really? Do you have the link to some data poll which shows that "90% of the fans" believe this. I must fall into that 10%. 'Prostitute' is fucking amazing. I can't imagine the song being any better than it is.

Thanks for your opinion, but I'll always love and remember 'Prostitute', regardless of whether or not a video release ever accompanies it. Man, some must have a seriously sad life.I can't imagine spending my day trolling a forum of a band that I am a "fan" of just so I can diss the music and comment how things could have been better.

Why is it that someone mentions an old song and suddenly they're "stuck in the past"?

PS. DTJ came out in 1991.

Why?  Because 1991 was 18 years ago for starters.  And the topic is about a song on the current album.

^Yeah, but all marknroses did was make a passing comparison to an old GNR song - a positive comparison, by the by - and suddenly he's stuck in the past?

Different if he'd said the song was crap or something.

Now I'm off to search for these elusive bubble noises.

Have you seen his other posts?

It's pretty predictable to see the same people do the same thing in the GN'R section.

Meaning, post in threads about the new songs and make it to be about the old band.

Or like they like to call it "my honest opinion".


I grew up listening to the old band, so it's not like I hate them. But I also don't feel the need to constantly bring them up when talking about the present.
