dgnr Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Jebus, and then they say that we, diehards, are the tough crowd. Facebook is full on dissing Axl's voice He doesn't even sound bad. It's just a variation of his low pitch, which IMO sounds perfectly fine. I'd rather hear this to out of breath Mickey Do casuals know about Mickey?

Basically most negative comments focus on that. I like his low voice and I wish he used it more, but it seems that it'll be a problem with the casuals. They're not familiar with this voice, whereas even Mickey "works" for them in a live setting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that his low voice aged and has transformed into this devilish voice we hear in Better chorus for exemple, it is ok to me, I can't expect a 60 y/old fella to not sound like so. But some people just don't get it, as if Axl was some kind of ageless superhuman. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42è BCP Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I actually like the song. For sure it'll not be one of their Best but glad they played something New ! Axl's voice is OK, low range voice that fit with the song. I just regret They didn't keep the chorus "what should i do...". I'm more excited to hear Hardschool but They tried something.

I mean Down on the farm is still a head fuck for me... Why the accent, why🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But casual fans don't know that song, and even a lot of the people who have heard it don't know that it's Axl singing and think it's Duff or someone else.

He probably wanted to get into the spirit of English punk and Prodigy respectively But most comments are along the lines of it not being the voice they've been used to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl: FUCK ATLAS! MY SILKWORMS MIXES ARE AT STAKE!! Oh yeah I forgot about that 7 hours ago, Gnrcane said: 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. That song is catchy as hell tho The more I listen to this the more I like it, and I like that the band seemed to be having fun trying something new for once. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slurps Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I've always liked Silkworms.. Or at least the potential it seemed like it could have. Not a fan of this new chorus but the music sounds pretty awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl looked and sounded he was in the middle of a mental health crisis to the point it was seriously off putting. This new performance isn’t amazing but it’s definitely an improvement from before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 It's hilarious to me that a pro-shot clip made it to their Facebook. Axl shouting "Absurd" is going to quickly become a meme, and I mean that in a good way. The sentiment is so self-aware that it's hilarious. They should play it up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Well well.. what do you say now?
