I still wonder what message Axl tried to convey with "Pussy full of maggots, isn't that absurd" also why would he say "Listen motherfuckers to this song that should be heard" when the song clearly didn't make the cut in the last album? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't take the lyrics to serious. I mean, why would a shot in the dark beat a walk in the park? Edited November 7, 2020 by Sosso 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's definitely more subtle that those ones. The lyrics were way more crude and clunky after Back In Black and Bon's passing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's clear Brian Johnson or the Young brothers couldn't come up with lyrics as good as those on Back In Black. Everytime Brian talks about Shoot To Thrill or Hells Bells, he always says he wrote them on the spot, to come up with those lyrics only one month after Bon's passing is miraculous to say the least. To say Brian wrote You Shook Me All Night Long because of the fast machine and motor clean lyrics is a lousy argument. Bon's lyrics were already finished before recordings. It makes sense they took his lyrics and made some arrangements. If someone want to dispute this, show me in the Brian Johnson era any album that is consistently as good as Back In Black. Bon Scott knew how to write songs, he took the band to the next level and he never got credit for this album (or FTATR or TS). 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
merces 4 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 (edited) I got the locker leaks last year, but is there a studio outtake of Silkworms with the "wah wah guitar solo " that comes after, what should I do with a bitch like you ? Or are the live takes the only other version we have ? Edited November 9, 2020 by merces Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bon had written all songs for the next album as the songs were in an exercise like book, so the album was basically written, until Bon got the go ahead from the young brothers that they were ready to start on the album in the studio. I have always wondered if Brian and the youngs wrote the songs of what was BIB, how the songwriting deteriorated to being a heatseeker and dont need a woman to hold me down.

The Matinator 178 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Man I know we’re GNR fans & theres not much to talk about, but I never thought I’d see an AC/DC discussion in the Silkworms thread. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

"Let me put my love into you babe, let me cut your cake with my knife". AC/DC has ways been about innuendo. I think all that happened is they became old. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
