Towelie Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Shacklers has always been my favourite Nu Guns song. The drumming is relentless, the chorus is infectious, the rhythm guitar work is brilliant, and Ron's guitar tapping at the end is probably the best moment on the whole album. I'm always baffled to see so many fans ripping on this gem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest siliconmessiah Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I agree. A gem on a really good album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I think because it's the antithesis of original Guns. To me it has the devil may care attitude of It's so Easy. But I guess it's the most nu metal. so fans must have been fuck nu metal, gnr! Then GNR went nu metal, hence fuck Shacklers. but I like it, it's undeniably awesome. Rocks live.

ITW 2012 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 The Elephant guitar solo. Axl should have released whatever solo Bucket came up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.. Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 The Elephant guitar solo. Axl should have released whatever solo Bucket came up with.Can we hear Bucket's solo somewhere?To be honest I absolutely love Ron's solo on Shackler's, it's the icing on the cake. I hated Shackler's when I first listened to it, but it was because I didn't listen to it with the proper audio installation. Ever since I listened to it with a big installation, I'm absolutely loving it, I think it's the song that I listen to the most after Chinese Democracy.It's really weird because to me, the best songs are TWAT and Catcher (and This I love), but the ones that I listen to the most are CD and Shackler's. You can't beat the rythm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stro Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Shackler is not Nu-Metal. Korn and Limp Bizkit are Nu-Metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovim Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I really like it, but it's not a surprise as I'm a big Buckethead fan. Everything Bumble added to this song is great imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seely Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Dcent song when i'm in the mood for it..but it's one of my least favourite songs from the album. Never been to keen on that intro, and the solo never quite got on with me..just a little too...whacky or funky for my liking. Great lyrics and chorus though, solid drumming and rhythm, still glad it was on the album rock1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChineseDemocracy2004 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Shackler's gets better the more you listen to it. People may be put off by it because it's particularly heavy and not what you would expect from GN'R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
