nambis Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 OK guys, I don't know much about silkworms because (i think) it was only ever played once before, and RIR III. However, I do beleive that Axl once said (in the chats, maybe) they had reworked the song, so there is evidence from the man himself that the song still exists... I was just thinking - wouldn't it be totally AWESOME and FITTING if the band played it again at RIR this year, on the 10th anniversary of the other time it was played? They also twittered that they might release new music on their facebook this year... it would be AMAZING if they released the studio silkworms on facebook, and then played it live at RIR!
Getizzyback Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 It was also played at the House of Blues the same year. I have heard there is a studio leak of this floating around somewhere, and of course the hoarders don't want to share, all they want to do is make money.
nambis Posted April 3, 2011 Author Posted April 3, 2011 well, to be honest i'm not interested in any of the leak rumors/leak circles, but i'm hoping for an actual official release from the band AND another new song to add to the live setlists! i've probably only heard the RIR3 version a handful of times, and not for a few years so it would be like an almost totally new song for me!
batman007 Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Im sure if they release it, the song may grow on me. Other than that I didnt like what I heard.

It is not about money, it is about power and the feeling of being privileged over millions.
chevelle Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Silkworms was embarrassingly bad. I don't want a nearly 50 year old man singing about a pussy full of maggots, it's lame.
ShadowOfTheWave Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 The lyrics are kind of stupid, but its Axl in a vicious mood, which there wasn't much of on CD. I like the keyboards alot.
nambis Posted April 3, 2011 Author Posted April 3, 2011 i've only heard the song just a few times, and not for years. i don't remember it all actually, except that it was quite electronic. so i would like to hear it again. i was just thinking that RIR would be a really appropriate place to play it, but that's probably wishful thinking. i really hope we heard some new music this year, though.
AxlIsGod. Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 (edited) Great Edited version of the initial RIR3 version:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhONimdM9bEAnd ill take anything regarding unreleased material at rio 2011 Edited April 3, 2011 by AxlIsGod.

It was also played at the Vegas shows at the Hard Rock in December 2001. I was at the first of the two shows and I must say the song is very good live. I hated the bootlegs I had heard of the HOB and The RIR shows but in person silkworms is actually really good.
prez Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Was it played any differently at the December '01 shows than in January? Man I wish there were bootlegs of those two Vegas shows.
SunnyDRE Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 i always thought the music was pretty ace. the lyrics do suck though.
