Its like he watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall or something..............

There has to be a reason behind that voice. he mocking the way someone speaks or something.

Exactly...the way he says it could be in direct reference to a converstaion or an impersonation of somebody it's aimed at.

I love the line. It fits with the sarcastic tone of the rest of the lyric. My favorite tune on the album at present.

"but i don't won't to do it" will be the second most mocked thing on the record besides the Scraped intro.

Probably. But Sorry is a better song than Scraped, so we'll get over it.  ok

Finck's solo in TIL is getting a lot of complaints too, but I think that's overblown.

yeah, I hated it at first, but now I think Finck did a great job.

My first impression when hearing this part of the lyrics was that Fez - that caracter from That 70's Show - was singing. I mean, c'mon!

Great song though, one of the best songs of the cd! peace

This song really surprised me. For me it was the easiest, straight forward song, to get into on CD, but also the most complex in feeling. So, ya, good song. Good work Axl!

No, my stereo is not broken but i stll have a hard time to har Baz at all !!

Besides that : This is one hell of a fucking killer song.
The way the lyrics are adressed to whom the fuck ever. The way the words come out of Axl's mouth. The arrangement of the song and the guitar parts.
Damn that is a cool song

i wish i could stop listening to it but I DON'T WANT TO DO IT  hihi

In a perverse way, this track wouldn't be half as good if Axl wasn't fucked about by people over the years. I can't condone abuse and all that, but if you think about it, you can't write and sing a song like this from a place of calm.

Its good to see that he's gotten his head together and used his experiences creatively and got a reward for his troubles.

This song is one of my favorites of any song that exists lol.

The emotional extremes this song goes through is what makes me like this song.

So far, I've interpreted the song Sorry as being directed towards his former band mates. The line "just shut up and sing" could be a reference to the complaints of his tendency to go off on "rants" during concerts.

Or it could mean something as simple as telling them to stop talking shit.

Killer track, one of the album's best. Though honestly, every song seems like the album's best.
