Gnrcane Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 The song is so terrible that it's starting to stick in my head. It's like the "pants on the ground" song from American Idol a long time ago. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 1 hour ago, Tom-Ass said: The riffs are boring as hell.. The main riff is the worst The Chorus is terrible The fake English Accent It sounds incohesive as the rest of CD stuff.. That little slow part is useless. I don't mind the lyrics aside from the chorus but the music itself is dogshit.. Does Axl do a fake English accent on Hard school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sosso Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) I'm even more thankful they played this live now. Stay of Execution begins! Edited August 5, 2021 by Sosso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of their best work I mean, I like the party side of Limp Bizkit, but their serious, more metal stuff is pretty great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitchisback Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 4 hours ago, RussTCB said: One of the biggest things that I take away from this is that the bad looked like they were having fun for once. I've never liked the song, but watching them perform it was far more enjoyable then the entire rest of the set where they were going through the motions for years. It seemed like Axl was a little nervous introducing it. When he said "this one's called absurd!" He just had a different tone in his voice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry but it is incredibly disgusting and neither edgy nor funny. I have no problems with the lyrics... my problem is an almost a 60 years old singin' it and thinkin it's funny like a 14 yrs old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have been hilarious when I was 12. By 14 it would have given me the heebie geebies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stress Fracture Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Part of me wants it to become a setlist staple so by this time next year we can hear Mickey squeak ‘absurd!’. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Honestly, GNR needs to put "out to get me" on the list. Also there are plenty of songs from the USE your Illusion cds that GNR can pull out and play. If they've never played certain songs live, there's a reason for it. Leave it in the box and sing the songs that fans want to hear. Also lots of songs from CD that would be cool to hear live too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Guapo Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Wait a minute, I just found a version of Silkworms (Bumblefoot over old demo something something) on my phone that is pretty much the same arrangement, including the "Absurd!" Chorus. So they didn't really do any work on this tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jw224 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Always really enjoyed the song because of how ridiculous it is so I thought it was hilarious that they played it and that it's the first "new" song they played. There was a lot of energy when they played it as well and Axl and the band looked to be enjoying it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamillos Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I just watched it again. At least he should have kept that "what can I do... with a bitch like you, you know that it's true" instead of that repeated Absurd! yelling. Would have made the song better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnrjanus Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I love the song, and they made it more rocker type. Love the way axl sings it. Should do that with more songs. Pick the lower frequencies 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendez Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Slash is doing a descending note thing during the chorus. instead of just basic power chords. Nice little touch to stray away from the basicness of power chords 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNRS Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) The last time I logged in to this forum was about a year ago I think. In the meantime I've moved places, started a new job, bought a new car, had a son and in the meantime there's Axl Rose still playing a Chinese Democracy song no one cared for even back when it was first played 20 years ago.

It's someone left decaying. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absurd probably doesn't crack the top 5 most risqué GNR songs lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlRoseCDII Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 You know what’s funny? People have always been shocked by the lyrics/style of new music since AFD. To the point of disliking or being shocked by the lyrics and even not liking UYI’s style. Not much has changed after all this time when they debut a ‘new’ song and I think that’s hilarious. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppelin Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 The lyrics are the least of this song’s problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlRoseCDII Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Hoping for Hard School tonight still. Both in the set list would really cement that this is a new era or tour, at least to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silkworms/Absurd is awful (to me) and I'd rate Hard School is "pretty OK" BUT all I've wanted from GN'R is some effort. Playing one or both of those songs is gargantuan in terms of GN'R effort. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
