Lies They Tell Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Would be interesting to hear the finished version. (More than 10 seconds of it) It'll probably sound very different since it has a different chorus. Could be good. Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it descends into unintelligent crudeness in the most uncool, lazy and boring way. It's not provocative or meaningful to me. Just lazy and boring. "Pussy full of maggots"? I or in fact most anyone could come up with better lyrics than this. I find the music after the intro boring too. I hate the drums. I'm a big fan of the intro too - other than that, eh....

History2010 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Silkworms has always been a mystery to me. Rio 2001 version is unlistenable for me, HOB version is.....okay at best. I can kinda see why people like it and the chorus is kinda catchy to me but in the end it doesn't do anything for me. Also awful lyrics on this one.

The Holographic Universe Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 That studio clip from 1:30-1:43 sounds fucking awesome and very promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
History2010 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 (edited) My morbid curiosity wants to hear a studio version. There's actually 2 more performances of the song we haven't heard - the 29th and 31st of December 2001 at the Hard Rock Hotel in Vegas. I wonder if those performances are any different from the 2 we have heard. Lots can happen in 11 months. Also apparently both Silkworms and Oh My God were planned to be played live at the cancelled Rock in Rio Lisbon and the rest of the cancelled 2004 tour. Fortus said so in 2003: TAGW: Which songs do you play on the Baritom? Richard: Haven't used it live yet with G n’ R. I'm going to use it on “Oh My God” and “Silkworms” (from the forthcoming Chinese Democracy record) live. I've used it in the studio on the new BT record and also on the new Deep Dish record.

Popular Post DR DOOM Posted March 20, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 20, 2017 Personally I would have liked a full album of psycho garbage, "industrial" type songs from the Tobias/Finck/Bucket/Brain/Stinson/Pitsman/Reed era band- released in say 02, and not fucked with. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are missing the point of the song I think it's going for a sleezy, depraved, almost demonic tone. I think it does it well. Axl's delivery on the lines is fantastic. I listen to the song to just enjoy it some times "Oh, what can I do...?" Miser? 1 hour ago, RussTCB said: Honestly, I'd take a whole album of OMG type songs. Gotta say, I absolutely love Oh my God.

AlexC Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 13 hours ago, Wagszilla said: A legitimate criticism of the Chinese Democracy songs is they tend to have overly long intros. And some of the intros even have intros. Silkworms certainly falls into this category (even though I like the sound of Pitman doing his best Vangelis impressions). Duff once said that if your bridge isn't as good as your main song, why have a bridge. You cut out the intro and that bridge and you have a nice simple rock song, likely about Stephanie Seymour's debauched love crevice. "Debauched love crevice." That is fucking crude hahaha! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorbear Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I always found it, and Oh My God, quite interesting and was disappointed they were not released on CD. I just hope it will be released someday along with other songs from the CD-era. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkarmy Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I actually really like it. I find the ambient parts quite beautiful and enjoy the industrial edge and general viciousness of the tune. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its cool to hear something experimental every now and again, same goes for Better Gone To me that song sums up where Axl was with CD for a long time, that he didn't really know what he wanted to do with the record. The song doesn't really go anywhere for me, just half ideas meshed together. There's a reason why it didn't make the cut when CD was finally released, I could have maybe lived with it if it had come out as part of a heavily industrial record in '00-'02 but that just sounds horribly dated to my ears.
