James Bond Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 To be honest I'd rather listen to Silkworms than Shotgun Blues. Shotgun Blues is song I want to like but have always found it to be a bit "meh" on relistens. Silkworms at least makes me laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many GNR-songs which are worse than Silkworms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope the Stephanie era is over now that Slash is back to tell Axl to stop being angsty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I don't think Silkworms should be included in any official releases any time soon. It would be stupid to include that but not OMG. Haha Shotgun Blues just was one of those GNR songs where I only listen to it when I listen to the Illusion albums in full and am too much of a completist to skip it, otherwise it is the one GNR track that I say "meh" and forget entirely lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melissa is a terrific singer but what's her towel waving like? I don't think towel waving is her strong point. She might need to bust out some Suicide Girls type of stuff to distract from the lack of towel waving ability. (yes they toured with GNR at the Chinese Democracy High Point and came out between GNR Songs) Edited May 26, 2020 by Billly B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you heard it here first. GNR will be domestically releasing their next album at Cracker Barrel restaurants throughout all 48 states! Unfortunately, as dining room areas are mostly closed, the big promotional push is waiting for things to return to normal. In the mean-time the geniuses in the Cracker Barrel kitchen are cooking up some great cross promotional items to encourage additional sales AND are soliciting feedback for ideas!!! "Guns N' Grits - the winning breakfast combination" "Appetite for Waffles" I thought you were going to say taco bell. 1 hour ago, jamillos said: Oh well, I've already noticed I'm in a dire minority on this forum regarding Shotgun Blues.

CD touring started in 2001, and Silkworms was long gone from the set come 2006 Well yes, the only reason i put 06 is because that was when he was consisently touring then, rather than 01/02 when the shows were minimal and until it crashed in 02 and restarted touring in 06.

Sweersa Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 I liked the leaked version of the "updated" Silkworms with the Bumble guitar, though I'd prefer Bucket on instead. Theyd umped the long drawn out intro for a far simpler guitar kill-switch beginning. With completed lyrics like from the 2001 performances, and a proper mix, it would be a cool song. A B side, but still cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many GNR-songs which are worse than Silkworms. Same. Lyrics aside it's just a typical quiet-loud-quiet industrial rocker. Would be decent with a lyrical rework.
