Vincent Vega Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Shackler's has a very catchy beat and is generally a very catchy song with a nice hook and groove to it--I'm wondering why this song never caught on. It has ''single'' written on it, more than any of the other songs.Personally I wish CD had been totally in the style of Shackler's and Oh My God--They're my favorite songs from 'new' GN'R.

Shackler118 Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 I honestly don't know. It is beyond me why it is not the most praised song ever haha!! My favorite song off Chinese Democracy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conor Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 It's weird. In terms of the chorus, it's probably the catchiest. That said, the opening five seconds would put a lot of people off. I know a few who played it on Rock Band and enjoyed it. I think if you wanted to give people anything that sounded like Guns N' Roses it'd be Street of Dreams.

The_Terminator Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Awesome tune, one of my faves from thew entire album. Looking forward to seeing it at the live shows in a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeGlass Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 (edited) Awesome tune, one of my faves from thew entire album. Looking forward to seeing it at the live shows in a few weeks.Maybe because its horribly overproduced with doubling and tripling of Axl's voice? Live, it's good but it's 1/10th of what it is in the studio. You can't do the things live that you can with ProTools.In fact, you could strip out 40% of the (over)production in Chinese Democracy and it would've been much better.

It has ''single'' written on it, more than any of the other songs.Personally I wish CD had been totally in the style of Shackler's and Oh My God--They're my favorite songs from 'new' GN'R.I've been really wondering this too. It's a bit like a Slipknot hit single (downtuned pop metal), expect it's better. I imagine it really could have been a mega hit in an alternative world, in a world with album promotion. What if it was single and there was a Slipknot style music video too, with Bucket in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Dog Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 At first I wasnt sold on Shacklers but now its one of my #1's. Would love to see it live, Axl sings the shit out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I agree that it can't be recreated to its full potential at live shows. I'll pass comment more when I've seen it live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITW 2012 Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Bumblefoot's guitar solo. You don't often hear elephant noises in hit songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seely Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 One of my least favourites from CDGenerally, it's alrightand the chorus is undeniably catchy. However the intro noises/effects are quite offputting, and i really don't care much for the solo at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint_seiya Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 it's become my favorite song from the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LysanderSky Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 By the time it came out the industrial/dance/rock kind of thing sounded dated. Korn did that a decade earlier. It's not bad song though. I'd have preferred a stripped down acoustic blues version of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITW 2012 Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 I think a lot of people in the biz aren't accepting of Axl's change in sound when it comes to GNR. That will hopefully change as he releases more material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gunns5 Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 (edited) If they can't accept the shackler revenge sound then gnr are fucked if they ever release silkworms Edited August 7, 2010 by gunns5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrandyk Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Right before the album came out I listened to this song a lot, but because of this thread Ive realized that its one of those songs that I never listen to on the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
