I dunno, I remember when the Vegas bootleg came out how people would call it "eletronica meets industrial". Yet, the song is the closer we got from the AFD era - I mean, the hard rock riffs are all there with all those licks througout the verses. And of course, there's no electronic thing there besides the little pulse intro and some keyboards before the solo.
I like to think that if we had this song on RIR3 (as I was anxiously waiting for by that time - just to be totally bummed about its absense) with the soundboard quality and all the emotional performance of that night people may would like it better. Too much people I know didn't really give the song a chance once it came out in that Vegas boot and had a prejudice about it.
Having said that, I love the Vegas version. Axl's vocals were spot on and you can clearly hear Robin's guitar work in the chorus - IMO, one of his best moments in the new songs. In fact, everyone is shining there - Brain's drums (kudos to Josh Freese's arrangement), Paul Tobias and Tommy riffs, Buckethead shredding, Axl melodies.
Anyways, I found another guy playing the rhythm guitar on this song, it sounds better than mine:
