I think the track would have been better as a stand alone track. It doesn't fit in the context of the album, and even its lovers were disappointed it made the final cut.

Yeah, I agree, and like I said I love the song. Maybe an EP being released in the summer of 2008 with Shackler's, Riad, a finished Silkworms, a new Oh My God, Madagascar, Street of Dreams, along with some 2006-07 live cuts of GN'R classics like WTTJ, PC, SCOM & NR, as a taster for fans.

Then put out CD in November, with the tracks it's got, but seeing new tracks replace Shackler's, Street, Riad & Madagascar - basically Shackler's & the old tracks that have been around for eight years.

Aside from the 2 singles, Shackler's is the song I've heard most on Sirius/XM Octane.  I still dig the song.  Then again, I dig them all.

Shackler's Revenge.

Why? Because it's the best song on the album.

I get so Jacked when I hear this song! I love it! It is so visual!


I usally play "Better" first. With people who haven't heard a lick of CD I usally play Better, Shacklers', If The World, and finish with CITR - because it has a "classic" sound to it. Most people generally like those four in that order. I feel it gives a well-rounded, compact summary of the album

I would play Catcher in the Rye, Prostitute, or TWAT first depending on who I was playing it for.

Yeah it depends on the type of person listing to it.

However I think Maddy is VERY strong...it was what converted me.

I remember watching Rio3 and thinking to myself "where's slash, this isn't GNR etc" and then Axl broke out that song and all was forgiven and I began to be really interested in the modern eras of the band.
