maynard Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Silkworms contains some of the worst synths and effects I've ever heard in a song. Combined with CD, it makes me question Chris' abilities as a producer/keyboard player. It's really bad and cheesy. I'm glad Axl decided to go back to hard rock/classic rock, he has no business in industrial rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceguy Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 But the most comical thing is that huge, giant build up, and then that stupid "PPPUUUHHHHHH" sound effect.They may as well have a diaper-wearing midget bust out of a cake and blare that PPPUUUUHHHHHH sound on a kazoo. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scream of the Butterfly Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Is it known who wrote the lyrics and who was the inspiration? Is it about Stephanie?I don't hate it but I like Oh My God better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceguy Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Is it about Stephanie?Yes. The answer is always yes. It's always about Stephanie.Sometimes it may seem to be about Dylan, or Dylan's favorite stuffed animal, or Steph's makeup case, or Dylan, or did I mention it might be about Steph?But yes. It's about Stephanie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustycage Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 What's with the Steph fascination, anyways? He was closer to Erin with a lot more ups and downs and she was sexier. Stephanie kinda seems like a ditz. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicoRourke Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I love it - but yeah its completely nuts!Evader's remix I really like, until hopefully we get a studio version one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) The 10 seconds I've heard (plus the shit playing in the back of WFA's voice clip he posted that one time) are better than most of the UYIs. 2001 version sucked, mainly because Axl was fat and couldn't keep up with such an energetic song.

star Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Silkworms sounds like a Pittman song with Axl on vocals. Maybe Pittman sound release an album with this one, and give credit to Axl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tadsy Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Pure utter garbage....That crap is so far removed from what Guns N Roses was originally about that words cant even express it properly.You could literally spend all day ripping this apart.

D-GenerationX Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 That crap is so far removed from what Guns N Roses was originally about that words cant even express it properly. Very true. And for that reason, I awlays hated it. But after reading this thread a bit last week, I went ahead and ripped Evader's remix off of Youtube. And I kind of dug it, I can't lie.

willl Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) Have you guys heard the Drums and Vocals only version of Silkworms by Evader? It's awesome https://soundcloud.com/evadergnr/sw-drm-and-vocIt sounds like the vocals are taken from RIR3 (2001) but how he removed everything else from the audio track I have no idea. Very clever guy, or an insider, I'm not sure Edited November 12, 2014 by downliner 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AIC04 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Well his sub bass is still better than Stuson's mediocre bass playing.Timmy Stuson has actually been in the Guns N Roses longer than the Duff, his mediocre bass playing has influenced countless handfuls- he deserves respect.Not to mention good ol tommy has played in two of Minnys best bands, the replacements and soul asylum.....N i do think hes a good bass player.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very clever guy, or an insider, I'm not sure That opening scream is from another CD song and the rest of the vocals are skillfully seperated from the music, most audio programs have a tool for that (it usually sounds like crap tho). If you listen carefully you can hear the reduced quality of the vocal recordings because of the seperation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WFA Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 lol I had totally forgotten Silkworms also has a pointless ambient intro. I wonder if it's stolen as well...The ambient intro isn't there anymore, its been replaced by an intro done by Buckethead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
