Wait, what the hell? How hard is he throwing the microphone? And he did this before, and knocked someone's teeth out?
When I was a kid I loved this song. As an adult I thought it was a mistake to put it on the album--it's childish, big, dumb, macho bullshit.
I've been listening to the remasters, and maybe I just want to recapture my youth, but I really like this song again. Even the dumb vocal distortion thing before the epic rant.
This has a lot of potential:
I think "Atlas Shrugged" is one of the best songs from the Chinese Democracy-era. I don't know why it was left off the album in place of a song like "Scrapped," which I liked, but was pretty off-beat for GN'R. I'm getting real Physical Graffiti vibes from "Atlas Shrugged." It needs to be fleshed-out, but it's pretty awesome.
So sad.

I bought a ticket for Toronto. Have found myself enjoying the live stuff from the deluxe UYI reissues, surprisingly, and it's been fully 13 years since I last saw Axl N' Friends.
Tracii Guns recalls some of the songs L.A. Guns played in their early days that became Guns N’ Roses tracks
Interesting quote:
When I was in the band [Guns N’ Roses], we were heavier than what people know as Guns N’ Roses now. It wasn’t as blues based. It was a little bit more metal. So more straight ahead, more L.A. Guns-ish really.
