My bet is next week after the LA show. 

That would make sense. Announce the releases at big market shows like NYC and LA.

Haven't been to any shows but from what I've heard he's pretty good

That's awesome! How full is the venue currently? 

What time are they going on stage tonight? 

My car started having transmission problems, so I wasn't able to make it to the show but I hope everyone going has a blast!

 I can only imagine what they did with state of grace 

I hope they did something with Soul Monster. That'd be a really cool track with Slash and Duff on it

Maybe this is where people differ. I'm sure we had a thread years back on lyrics vs instruments and what camp you fall into. I'm definitely over on the side of lyrics, if I can't connect with them it diminishes a song for me.

Yeah I actually started that thread  I feel ya though, there's definitely been songs for me where the lyrics made it nearly unlistenable despite great instrumentation

Some thoughts, now that I've had time to process it...

I'm really starting to dig this song. The lyrics don't bother me simply because I was never one to pay attention to song lyrics anyways. Instrumentally it rocks the fuck out, that riff is simple but pretty catchy. They did a really good job with the tension/release when they came out of the breakdown, as well as in the final chorus where it stops for a beat and everything comes right back in. Pretty good job on the production as well, I wish the "screaming fucking banshee" line was on beat the first 2 times. 

Overall, I love the vibe of the song and the absurdity of this whole situation. I thought I had this band figured out and then they pull this shit. I love it

Dude absolutely must be on the joke of what a bad song this is and/or going about having the general public hear it for the first time this way 😂 

Yeah man it's pretty absurd

Someone please help I can't stop 

One of my good friends is a die-hard Metallica fan. I'm currently trying to explain the absurdity of this whole situation to him right now. He's so confused

I was at this show last night…tripping on mushrooms…when Axl giggled and said they were going to try something, I couldn’t have expected it to be Silkworms.

It was so cool/wild to see Slash riffing on those electronic beats, but it was even cooler and more gratifying to find out he renamed the song “Absurd.”

That must have been wild to witness that while on shrooms

I can't remember. I think the only version I have is the Village Leaks version. 

Maybe if I hear the latest studio leak again, I'll like it more? Doubtful, but maybe? Lol

The version they played last night is the one we got in 2018. It's the same arrangement.

I actually really dig the song from an instrumental standpoint but the lyrics...

I hope, if anything, that this performance makes more people appreciate his 2001 voice.

Facts. I've always thought Axl should do more with that low voice
