You know the Stones and Aerosmith use riffs pretty heavily too, right? I could make an argument they are the 2 biggest riff based bands ever.

Locomotive's guitars are quite awesome and as much as I love Izzy, Slash did a pretty good Izzy impersonation on that track. I assume Slash just took Izzy's ideas for that song too, because that is missing in all of his post UYI stuff.

I have to give you karma for that!
I don't know why people want to make this so complicated. If Axl had things he wanted to do musically, he could have easily gone off with Huge and made an Axl solo record the same way Slash did. This is why there's a resentment towards Axl about how things went more than anything else (other than maybe taking the name). The answer should have been so simple, yet Axl chose the hardest path for whatever reason and then (in my opinion) just gave up on it all. So disappointing...

I saw it on eBay new for $639. Not high on my list of must haves, but probably on the list somewhere...

Nothing wrong with evolving a bands sound. Just like AFD evolved to UYI. But evolving to the point where you go so left friend that you alienate the majority of your fan base isn't a good thing.
But then given that you think every other band you don't like "sucks ass" I find it hard to take your opinion seriously anyway...
What does this self serving drivel have to do with my post ? You`re grasping at straws here buddy. Someone has mistakenly tricked into believing that I give a shit whether you take my opinions seriously or not. What a bunch of crybabies.
Self serving? I think not...
I'm just trying to get you to see someone else's opinion other than your own. Especially since it's clear that not everyone here agrees with you and what you think "sucks ass".
That's hardly grasping at straws.And in my opinion, your shortsighted taste in music "sucks ass"
Don't waste your time on this one...not worth it.

I have a pretty good idea based on what you think is good. It's you that's getting worked up. I'm sitting here chuckling at you.
I'm pretty sure I even said it was fine if you enjoyed the song. No need to get your panties in a wad because nobody agrees with you.
#1789 Re: Guns N' Roses » Curious Sorry/Shackler mention » 672 weeks ago
Shackler`s verses and chorus kick major ass it`s Ron`s solo that sucks and Axl did n`t want to make old, tired, rehashed and stale Blues based Rock back then.
Maybe if you don't know anything about music. The whole song blows in its entirety. There is nothing good about it. There is nothing average about it. Even Axl manages to suck on it.
It's a giant pile of crap that turned off pretty much every moderate GnR fan. Maybe if they buried it at the end of the album it wouldn't have been so bad, but I recall the streams on myspace (or wherever it was) dropping off considerably after Shackler's. That wasn't because they were rushing out to buy the album due to the song's awesomeness. There's nothing wrong with liking it - that's fine. To deny the fact that it was not at all appealing to the general public is naïve at best.

I can't stand Finck as a guitar player, but he came closer to fitting GnR than Bucket ever did. Bucket is infinitely more talented than Finck, but he doesn't fit in a blues based rock band or an Elton John/Freddie Mercury wannabe big ballad band. He had a couple solo contributions that were pretty good to great, but outside of that, his talents were pretty much wasted in Axl's band. When his big contribution is the absolute worst song on the album (Shackler's), that says everything you need to know about BH and him being key to the band's success.
