Prostitute was always a mess. But I always liked it as a mess…be adventurous, try different things. But you don’t need to do that track to track.

I wonder if that was message that got all those producers canned…”Axl you can have a couple songs like this, but can you write a hook, please?”

I still think it’s autobiographical

The song is an ocean of beauty. It may not have hooks but it's melodies are still powerful. Great lyrics, unfortunately they no longer apply to Axl Rose since 2011. I prefer the sound of the Village version.

I am a really big fan of the village version. The others have way too much going on

A cleaned up village version would be nice but if I had to choose between village and album, I am going with Bucket and the great, peaceful ending.

Best song on the album and in one song Axl I feel achieved his vision.
Beautiful lyrics with a hint of atonement - and BH again elevates as does Brain.
Axl’s best vocal performance of the album and the one song on the record I go back to.

I think the album version nailed it. Great track. I will say I do find myself listening to the synth/keyboard/random odds and sods track from RB quite a lot, 'cos there's so much going on in the song it gets a bit lost. I especially love the "wee-oooo" synths in the second verse (you know the ones, they kick in about 1:40). Kinda wish they'd been higher in the mix.

If Nic Cage is happy with it, then I am. Have it hooked up to my USB drive on my daily commute to work!

agreed, but axl kept bucket on a leash on this song. he needed to go unhinged like on there was a time.

decent song, but not the "fire & ice" described by beltrami.

Hooks are overrated. Art vs. commercially-acceptable.

Prostitute is the former.
