Sosso Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 (edited) Someone said that Absurd is a reworked version of Silkworms in another threat. I wonder if that song is real or fake. Edited August 3, 2021 by Sosso 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gt72 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Heard silkworms a couple times a few years back.Sure hope Absurd is a different song altogether.Highly doubt that the setlist being sold on eBay is real though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"This is a song mostly written by Dizzy Reed, and my former towel-boy..." Maybe Pitman's intro is gone, and they'll just start it like the demo with Bumblefoot. He probably stole the intro anyway. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlRoseCDII Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I don’t believe Slash and Duff would listen to Silkworms and want to do anything with it. It’s not their style at all. Seems like a bunch of bullshit to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 (edited) That's where it comes from: https://www.ebay.com/itm/255074411901?hash=item3b639ea57d:g:NSYAAOSw2jZhBxXX The seller claims the setlist was given to him by a crew member after the show. I see he has a good reputation on ebay, but I how common is it for crew members to give setlists to people? Anyway, even if it's real, it can't be Silkworms EDIT: I see it's been sold already.

It happens at most big shows... when the lights come on and they start taking apart the stage, they usually hand the setlists to the security guards to give to people in the pit. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The setlist is fake theres nowhere on the setlist where alts can be added and they didnt play seeker. Also if this is the setlist then whats the deal with the one that was leaked on the day with the dinosaur? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 The one with the dinosaur was never confirmed to be real. Could've been from Mexico 2020 honestly. Not that it matters since it was basically the same anyway. I hope they play Silkworms, just because it'll be hilarious to read Slash fanboys trying to explain how he made it better and 'more like GNR'. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slash fanboy here, nothing could save whatever the hell Silkworms is lmao. I hope to the high heavens that song is locked up where nobody will ever hear it - in a vault that says "new GNR music that will be released" 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Slash does for Silkworms, what he’s already done for Hardschool, then absolutely there’s the chance for it to be better and more like GN’R.

Outside of the talk of Silkworms and Hardschool, is this really the “next chapter” and “all new show” that was promoted….?

Not a fanboy (neither Slash or Axl), I think it would be interesting.

Stress Fracture Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I’m going with fake setlist or an in-joke from the band. Silkworms has nothing for this line up to expand upon. Even NuGNR had moved on from that sound by 2006. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Not a fan of the guitar heavy version of Silkworms. The original synth version was definitely a grower and Axl's vocals on it are great. Screaming fucking banshee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknroll41 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 In the slimmest chance this is real, then that would mean pretty much anything Axl has recorded vocals for is fair game. So that would be: Hard Skool (which we now know is the right spelling thanks to Meegan’s now-deleted Instagram post of the stage graphic), Atlas, Perhaps, State of Grace, Silkworms/Absurd, Eye On You (ugh!), Oh My God (it was on a 2018 setlist, so why not?), Zodiac (we know thanks to the leaked studio notes that a version with vocals exists), Leave Me Alone/Elvis/Soul Monster (Axl said he recorded vocals for it), Oklahoma/Berlin (Axl said he had lyrics for it) The General (leaked phone clip proves he sings on it) and Down By The Ocean (which Izzy did all the heavy-lifting for). So that’s already 12 songs. Plus there’s also Ain’t Goin’ Down but I assume they’re saving that for a potential UYI box. And there’s also all the unreleased Hell House songs but I assume the band can’t even touch those due to Arkeen’s estate. But anyways, if this setlist is real, then it just proves that they’re scraping the bottom of the barrel and Axl has no interest in recording anything new. I’ll take what I can get at this point, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allwaystired Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 If (big if) the setlist is real, whatever 'Absurd' is is probably driven by the same thinking that had 'Oh My God' on the setlists a couple of years ago. As if that was ever going to get played! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodoochild Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 It's pretty much possible to turn Silkworms into a guitar driven, more straight forward rock song instead of the Buckethead/BBF version that leaked in 2018. I even made a guitar arrangement for the 2019 demo myself for my YT channel. But if it was real, Absurd could be a totally different track too. The Bucket/BBF version is still too damn wacky, and it still sounds like an attempt rather than a full fleshed out song. 8 hours ago, WhazUp said: Idk, the pristine non-crinkled quality of the paper and the time stamp at the bottom seems very sketchy to me. I am assuming fake until proved otherwise Yeah, noticed that too. It seems like the guy didn't even fold it up. Also, didnt some songs had a different writing on setlists? Like "EASY" instead of "IT'S SO EASY", or "CHINESE" instead of "CHINESE DEMOCRACY"? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick85 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 If this really is "Silkworms"...having Slash re-do it would be the most "Axl" thing Axl has ever done. Ever. Can we please will this into reality? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
