Shackler's Revenge Discussion

[Electric Sintar]

I find it amusing that people are listening to this song once, and saying, "it isn't as good as AFD".  Well, you've had 20 years to listen to the songs on that album, and this one has been out for 12 hrs.  After listening to it for the 4th or 5th time, I actually think it is an excellent song, and will I have no doubt the album in its entirety will kick ass..

I like the tune. I've been a dedicated fan from the day I first listened to AFD back in 88. Like The Beatles, Queen, U2...and many more, Axl has decided to do something different. It sounds more musically complex than old GnR but its still a great tune. 'My World' on UYI2 was an introduction to this new sound that Axl was experimenting with an the new album, I think, will display alot of this new sound. Its a progression of music and many bands have come under fire when they try something new. Alot of people want to stick with the old format that they know and love but I love to see bands trying new stuff and I'm impressed and not surprised at all with Axl's new direction. Can't wait to hear the album. This is New GNR and although I love the original lineup's music I still like this. Congratulations Axl Rose!

A sample on here for anyone who wants to listen, the person playing the game isn't hitting all the guitar notes but you can still get the idea

i know this is probably a stupid question...but who is costanzo?

learn to read. these are not PERFORMERS but WRITERS. the song is performed by GNR, no details so far.

[Skeba]

Did he say that they were performers? An amazing attitude you've got there.

that was fuckin awesome not too shabby if i do say so myself

long live gnr 

[GnR-NOW]

I'm very impressed with the song.  It has a similar sound to Oh, My God, but it has a more catchy beat.  If it's not the first single, that's not a problem at all, they might use a more rock sounding as opposed to industrial.  But overall this song is very good, hope to hear it a lot !!!

where the fuck did acompleteunknown say those guys performed on the track?

[Kodak]

I think it was perfect for rockband . the lyrics dont repeat too much but enough so it aint confusing. sweet bass drums n guitar. a fun song for rock band. and its gnr !!!!

i wouldnt call it single material but its a kick ass song and thousands of people can play it / hear it now 


edit : as for all the " its bucket " " its ron " arguments. how are we really supposed to know. we know bucket helped write the song. so it could very well be his guitar work. it coudl be rons

but why argue over it ? we have a new song !!

Cause its very noticeble for those who knows each others style? Because it's cristal clear for some who actually plays an instrument?

Do you have any doubt its Axl singing? I know the answer is obvious, but still, he has a remarkable tone. So has the guitarists.

Its Ron on solo. 100%. I can hear Robin's rhythm too. Bucket has a whammy lick in the chorus, very subtle in the mix.

Heard it today. It's bloody terrible to be honest-all over the place. Starts off okay but turns into mushed noise. I'm really disappointed as I was expecting better.

Before I get flamed-it's my opinion. Just because I'm not impressed with it doesn't mean you can't be.

^YOUR NOT A REAL FAN IF YOU DONT LOVE IT!

just kidding. It didnt catch me either until about 4 or 5 listens and now I think its amazing.

Hope your not talking about a muddy mixing version out there. The in-game sound is the real deal and has no such a thing.

Hehe. I just don't understand it though. This song completely alienates some older fans and is not mainstream enough for potential fans. I really don't understand it's selection for a popular commercial videogame.

That's funny because I love the other stuff I've heard. Everything is not that black and white. Get over your overblown ego.

Ive found that if you listen to the new material thinking of the classic Guns you will always be disappointed. You have to go into it expecting something entirely new.

Otherwise you might as well listen to VR....

not bashing you by the way

That's not true at all though for this song. I love the other new Guns stuff I've heard. This one just does not do it for me.
