Caught_in_a_Coma Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 (edited) I think people look at the vulgar lyrics and go "trash, up there with My World". 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...?" Edited March 18, 2017 by Caught_in_a_Coma 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RussTCB Posted March 18, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2017 Silkworms is the worst GN'R song I've ever heard. I'd listen to My World on repeat 10x before I'd ever listen to Silkworms again. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhazUp Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Its just a huge incoherent mess of a song IMO, maybe the studio version is better but the song itself based on the two live versions are just very.... odd and not in a good way lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to Riad, everyone weaves around and then comes together unexpectedly. I still think the lyrics are generally bad and a little too blunt but Axl's delivery comes across as authentic. The "isn't that absurd (absurd... absurd)" line is really fun on the studio leaked clip. Fuck My World. Unredeemable trash.

Mendez Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 (edited) Judging from what they've played live I think it sucks a big bag of dicks, but I'd like to hear it without the blazing loud keyboards just to see what the fuck the rest of the band is playing Edited March 18, 2017 by Mendez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BorderlineCrazy Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I agree about Silkworms being misunderstood. I mean, some people think it's music! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanity_lost Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I find the song to have no redeeming value. I must add, to be fair, that I have only listened to the song once and I cannot swear that I listened to it all the way to the end. I have no plans at this point to listen to it again. Maybe once I quit wincing at the thought of it. I am glad, however, that there are people out there who have some kind of appreciate for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlterL Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 It's angrier than most other songs which is why I personally enjoy it. There's something about it that brings me a feeling reminiscent of Right Next Door To Hell or even Oh My God it's not party time AFD material but rather an angry rant made into a song. Although I must admit I much rather the fan made remix than the live versions. Studio version (or what we have of it) sounds interesting but is not really that special, good enough to make me want to listen to the rest of it but not so much that I wouldn't rather have another full song considering I already have a version of silkworms that I do enjoy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 It has it's place but I can see why it wasn't on the Best Buy exclusive album. I always expected the final version to have some piano on it. You know just one layer too many. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live Like a Suicide Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Yeah, Silkworms is pretty shit. I'm glad it never made the cut for an album release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themadcaplaughs Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 It is what it is; the band trying, probably a little too hard, to "push the envelope." That riff when Axl sings, "but what would I do, with a bitch like you" part sounds cool, but that is about it. Really, it only piques my interest as a strange "look behind the curtain" as to other ideas that may have been circulating at that time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooker Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 between Silkworms' "Pussy full of maggots" and sucker train blue's "Somebody raped my tapeworm abortion" we may have the worst two lyrical sentences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gackt Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 The song can be good with some polish and actually being finished; it's definitely not supposed to be a pleasant, nice song to play when you're on a car ride with your mother Axl's at his most entertaining when he tries to be edgy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexC Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 It's fucking pointless. It could be a bridge in another song, or at least parts of it but the whole thing is pretty ludicrous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
