Re: "Chicken Dinner" Shackler's Revenge Leak
this monster has really grown on me - the melodies reveal themselves slowly and the guitars just kill - a kind of nightmareish vibe to it
Am starting to think this isnt such a bad choice for 1st single - its sure not your Fathers GNR.. but the second single is probably the one they want to really hit the mainstream with - Prostitute or Blues perhaps( or hopefully something that trumps them both)
if CD is released, there will be enough press and curiosity value to sustain sales for the short-meium term, it will come down to the second single to really solidify it as a GNR style success IMO
Re: "Chicken Dinner" Shackler's Revenge Leak
I really don't think Axl would construct a song to attack his own fanbase. He needs all the friends & supporters he can get, and especially after the tirade by Del James that was put up on GNR.com and quickly yanked down.
No way their PR department (Axl) would let a song of all things go out there in the mainstream as an attack on the fans. Sure there are bad fans, but there's also good fans that love the music, love anything GN'R, and support Axl 100%. To turn on his own fans would be no different than eating a bullet. He would alienate his last line of defense.
Then again, that logic didn't stop Lars Ulrich for launching a lawsuit, which he now regrets. And if Shackler is about the fanbase, Axl will regret it too.
This is speaking in theory of course. I personally think it's about the old band.

I'm sure its not. There isnt a fan base close to as loyal as the GNR fanbase. No band in the history of the world puts their fans through more bullshit and disappointments. SO if they can't see and appreciate that, Fuck em!
Re: "Chicken Dinner" Shackler's Revenge Leak
Don't ever try to tell me how much you care for me
Don't ever try to tell me how you were there for meNo one is stopping you from doing what you want to do
No one is stopping you now, stopping you now
I could also be about:
Friends
Lover
Girlfriend
The options are huge.
But yes, if you want the lyrics to be about the fans, then it fits. But all fits if you want it to fit. People see what they want to see.
Re: "Chicken Dinner" Shackler's Revenge Leak

Exactly - it could be about anything.
There's really no need to speculate at this point... Why not just enjoy it?
At least that's what I'm going to do. I'll leave the rest to the others.
Re: "Chicken Dinner" Shackler's Revenge Leak
I honestly don't think he wrote these lyrics as something from him to somebody else.
He was writing from somebody else's perspective... probably from the lead role character in Shacklers Revenge (the movie that Bucket was working on)
