I haven't really seen anybody say anything good, and I've looked. I know some media covered it, but they still didn't call it good they just described the style😄 Hardskool might be bang average but that was the song that should have been aired first. I mean, we all know that. It's like Axl and TB were like "you want new music??? Fine, see if you still want it after this! Absurd!!!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference between social media fans and us is that they are just now finding out the song sucks. We've had to deal with it for decades haha. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkLotus1111 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) lol it's like the band is intentionally playing "Absurd" to disappoint the fans with the idea of "new" material in hopes to avoid releasing anything. Nice try Axl... Edited August 5, 2021 by DarkLotus1111 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice try Axl... Look at it from a marketing point of view. Lets say they are planning an album with CD2 leftovers and new songs. Performing CD2 material BEFORE adding the new songs as "big guns" actually makes sense. Edited August 5, 2021 by Sosso 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fantomas Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 15 hours ago, valengf said: As AFD mutated into UYI, the evolution was and still is Chinese Democracy wether you like it or not. Thats still the road ahead for now. Remember Chinese was supposed to be a double album. Well this is the continuation of that with the will of Axl doing it with Slash as it was intended in the first place. Now Slash is on the same page so that is the future I liked most of the Democracy album. TWAT and Street of Dreams are in my top ten GnR songs. I don't need to be schooled on the evolution of GnR, the Chinese Democracy era is over. It started 20 years ago, it;'s time for Axl to move on. If Absurd is the future of GnR music, I'm out. I don't want a rehash of AFD or UYI, but let's call a spade a spade, Silkworms is shit. It was shit when he played it in 2001 and it's shit 20 years later. Stop relying on unreleased songs from a divisive era. Put out something new or call it quits, this trolling fans shit isn't funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave94 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Just logged in for the first time in years to say… silkworms? Really? Man they must really be out of ideas if this is what they’re bringing to the table as “new” material. Put it back where it came from and maybe in 20 more years of tinkering it might be ok as a GnR song 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankfurt93 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 now this song is seriously bad! The worst song ever that came out from Ax/Slash/Duff collaboration. There is no chance this would end up on AFD-UYI. Ok, My World did, but still. It sounds like a cross over of Sex Pistols ripp off and Prodigy. NOW is really time to get Iz back before they overshadow 1985 - 1993 era with an epic train wreck. Get back old bad, old sound, there was enough damage done last 28 years it would be a shame to drag GNR moniger deeper into more shit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnR Chris Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I don't care what anyone says about the song. I liked the performance. And I am overjoyed they not only played something different but also highlighted it on their social media page. And actual live pro-shot snippet. Most social media commenters will shit on anything new the band might debut. "sTiCk To ThE cLaSsIcS." 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the song no matter how I twist it in my sick gnr brain, I can't like it. With a completely new vocal line and lyrics there might be a good song here.

UseYourDemocracyIII Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I wanna say I like it, but I feel like a grumpy mygnr member will assassinate me.

Tom-Ass Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 The lyrics are the only remotely good thing about the song... Say what you want about "pussy full of maggots" but it gets attention.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknroll41 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I may jinx it, but I feel like if they’re willing to post a proshot snippet of the song then it’s only a matter of time before we get an official release. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I genuinely really dig it, even if I did prefer the chorus from the '01 version. But then again I don't hate My World. I think I prefer My World to at least five other tracks on UYI I & II... It's also cool seeing Axl getting really into singing the song, and cute seeing him smile at Fortus during the performance, you can tell he's having a blast. The real question is when is Eye On You gonna get its live debut???!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
