Lies They Tell Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 14 hours ago, MrMojo said: Can anyone who heard this in full tell me what they thought? Always been curious as to how a full version sounded. When Axl said that the new version of Silkworms has a new chorus, I was expecting something else. This version barely has a chorus. It's just Axl saying Absurd over and over again, but the strange thing is that it works. This is probably the most electronic song by GNR ever. Sounds like Prodigy. It's a song about pussies full of maggots, so don't expect a lyrical masterpiece. But I love the energy of Silkworms especially. There's also a calm part in the middle of the song that's totally different compared to anything I've heard from GNR before. That part sounds kinda like Radiohead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gackt Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 The song is excellent in that it breaks away from the typical rock music mold of what a chorus is supposed to be, and uses that section as more of a breakdown. The "what can I do" section would have worked as an outro, if placed back into the track in some area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't said it had a new chorus, he specifically said "the chorus is gone". I remember because he answered my question about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fashionista Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 I wish the 2001 version of CD (the song) would leak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Propaganda Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 (edited) I think it leaked already Edited June 20, 2018 by Propaganda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fashionista Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Does anyone have Evader's Silkworms? Also, am I the only one who wouldn't have minded an album of songs like Silkworms, Riad, and OMG? No ballads. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F*ck Fear Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 A studio version of Silkworms from 2001 (chorus included) would be fantastic! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe with all my heart that that version of Silkworms will be the one that does justice to the song. Especially considering it has the long intro and the chorus. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJRemastered Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Wasnt leaked like couple of years ago only the chorus of the song, i remember seeing a video with a live mix that had the part "what can i do with a bitch like you" from studio, so a mix that is similar to the live version would be fantastic. Ik that axl said that the chorus is gone, but hey, maybe we can work out something cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axl4ever7 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 The Silkworms I listen to has lots of added Bumblefoot solos throughout the song! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhazUp Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Silkworms and the new OMG sound way better if you make the channel the actual song is on to mono and then pan BBF's guitar track a bit to one side and change the volume so it blends in with it, that way you don't have the jarring sonic layout especially on headphones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go from the demo to the live version. Back and forth, lol. Do you remember the days when people tried to make fan remasters of live versions Silkworms and Rhyadh? It was interesting hearing people's takes on it and like I said, Evader's Silkworms is really cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
