Axl's sampled in Screams are terrible.. That slow part is even worse.. They could have redeemed the slow part by totally re-doing and having Slash add some really cool melodic part.. Maybe even have Axl sing something a little bit audible.. Either way it is hard to accept Slash playing riffs written by Bumblehead, Bucketfoot and Finck.. Whoever wrote the shit.. If you can even call that a riff. Axl could could have wrote that crap for all I know.. I agree that the middle quiet part isn't good. A really awesome bridge would have helped a song that has no real chorus. Edited August 6, 2021 by Ak1nney 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah? 7 minutes ago, RussTCB said: I've listen to the song a few more times now. I like it a whole hell of a lot more than I did when I first heard it this morning. I like is far, FAR more than any version of Silkworms I'd heard previously. The lyrics are still dumb as hell and I could do without all the effects on Axl's voice. However, overall it rocks way harder than it has any right to. The how's/why's and wrf's about how it was released are going to be continually debated, so I'm just commenting on the song itself. Oh and the more I listen to it, the more it sounds like the little brother of Oh My God. And I'm 100% OK with that because I love OMG. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet, Pit's too modest. He should've called it 20 and been later hailed as a prophet. Didn’t pitman say that in 2006 tho? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, after five years they have nothing more to offer than a reworked song written by the guys who claimed to be GNR 20 years ago but everyone (beside some members of this forum) laughed about?! Axl is the boss. The other two are just very highly paid employees. But they did a damn good job on this tune. It's a weird song, but Duff & Slash at least kicked some ass on their parts.

Wyldehorse Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Maybe they're trying to build some kind of buzz to get people noticing that the band is active with 3/5 original members again? A lot of people who don't frequent message boards, probably assume that it's still the MTV awards lineup. I probably wouldn't release the top shelf material until there was some buzz going on out of the inner circle of diehards. Hopefully they're cleaning out the overstock, and will drop some new product recently written after this tour. Wishful thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was not the case back in the 90s, where they could say to Axl "Fuck off redhead" this is not GNR...

Old_school_gnr_fan Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I like the song, despite the silly lyrics. To be honest though, I like it more live than the distorted voice given to Axl on the studio version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverburst80 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 (edited) Well the song itself is ok at best, i do however love it's crassness and the fact it probably won't be played on the radio. I kinda wish the dreamy section went on for a little longer i found that part quite interesting, reminded me of Tame Impala or something.
