AxlRoseCDII Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I never see anyone talk about the performance of Shackler's Revenge from the O2 Arena 2012. I think Axl sounds great on this song! Rest of the concert, not so much but he sings the song with full rasp. The guitars are also really good and it's kind of useless to think about now, but (as much as I prefer the current line-up), this shows me how much potential NuGN'R could've had if Axl didn't sit on his ass and eat Taco Bell all day. Thoughts? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanecrescente Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Is this some kind of joke? 1) the majority of the vocals from this gig were heavily edited prior to release 2) The layer of vocals in this song which are quite audibly Axl's from the night are distinctively 'Mickey' throughout 3) There's so many layers added vocally that you can hardly tell what's being said at times 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts? No offense to you or anyone but I did not and can not enjoy the 09-14 band at all. What a low point. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoSoRose Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 for a 2012 show I thought the o2 was alright. Reunion has made it look worst in comparison, though 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 It's not a low point of the O2 show but there's far better performances of it out there (see 2010). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Słash Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 The only good thing about the 02 show was Izzy Stradlin. Everything else was this typical NuGNR thing, I feel bad for the people who went cause they had to deal with stupid models, but I won't go deep in that topic as it has been discussed before. Immediately after 02, they had performed in Rotterdam where I saw them for the first and last time and to me they did sound good and I enjoyed the show, yeah Axl coming 3 hours late was a big disappointment. The sad thing with Axl's solo band line ups was that not one line up sounded good, only bits and pieces of them were great. For example in 2002 the only good thing in the band was Bucket head, everything else including Axl's voice was shitty. In 2006, Axls voice was amazing, but the band sounded shitty, the tone of the guitarists were awful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlterL Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Hell I'll be damned but I loved that performance, most of that show actually. But I enjoyed many of the shows from 2000 to 2014 so that's not surprising however I think the best performance of Shackler's Revenge was the one in Philly 2012. Awesome from start to finish, really miss the "virtuoso" fell of Bumblefoot and Buckethead. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendez Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) The band never could perform Shackler's Revenge live properly. Mainly because DJ Slashbas inability to correctly play the riff (maybe to fast for him?), which results in Fortus playing the original riff, Bumblefoot paying his parts that he recorded, and DJ playing an extremely dumbed down chords to the riff. 3 guys playing different things at once. Plus with Dizzy/Pitmans weird synth organ thing in the background. Oh and Axl never actually sang the melody correctly, like ever Edited September 21, 2016 by Mendez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maynard Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Ron Thal should have retired from music after coming up with Shacklers solo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlsFavoriteRose Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 there are no "underrated" NuGuns performances IMO. overrated ones? oh yes! the only ones i can listen to are the ones they've done on tour with Slash on guitar! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorbear Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Love Shackler's, love CD and this is a highlight from the 02 show. To bad they had to cut the show short so no Maddy in the encores 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychoKiss344 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 2009-2014 was a joke. If you want some good nuGNR performances check out 2001-2006 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
