ABSUЯD Single released at midnight

[Sosso]

I still love the irony of Slash & Duff on Silkworms.

I mean, isn't it Absurd 

Brain sounds great as well.

Don't get me wrong, I never really liked this song... but... if this was released as like a b-side to an outstanding album single, fans would be eating up the vibe and guitar shredding by Slash. It'd be a cool deep cut, but I'm hoping for something a little more (and not hard school) for the next release. Assuming there is one...

Or maybe something that Slash or Duff helped write?  They are nothing more than studio musicians in this band now.

The first new GNR track with Slash in 30 years is Silkworms. How Absurd is that 

I am really liking the song too, and I’ve always hated Silkworms

Who is"Guns N' Roses"?

Kinda figured this is how they would credit everything so it looks like the band actually did this and not the guys from 20 years ago lol

I'm wondering the same thing. Legally Guns N' Roses are Axl, Slash and Duff. Will they split this loot equally? Is Fortus in this? Mellissa? Dizzy?

Just checked Twitter, no one gives a shit. Sigh. Oh well I enjoy it sadly 

I don't think this was your intention, but your post literally made me laugh out loud for a good minute or two...

Post of the thread so far.

I give the Axl, the insane man, credit for this in a weird way. The first single of the reunion, the first GNR song in 30 years with Slash and Duff?

Considering the nostalgia cash grab nature of the tour, you'd think a Rick Ruben-esque retread nostalgia song that shares the same structure of an old GNR song (like Black Sabbath's 13) would have been the easy choice. 

Nope, fuck you. You get Silkworms, bitch. It's insanity. I can't believe this

We all laugh and cry together. This is somehow both 

[Gunsdrummer63]

I heard it at Fenway and had a little idea what it was. When I came home I did some digging and heard the 2000/2001 version 

the studio version is much better. Brain nailed the drums. Very polished and clean

slash has a nice tone and solid solos 

duffs bass (assuming it’s him) is a major highlight

 

the lyrics and structure are odd but growing on me. I really want to see slash on perhaps and hard school now. I’m just glad to get something considering that’s is what I’m calling the first GNR release with slash playing on it in my lifetime

I knew the Instagram comment section wouldn’t fail me 

[TeeJay410]

This does make me want to hear Slash and Duff lift Atlas, Perhaps, and Hard School

[downzy]

"Axl, how many notes you using for the melody?"

Axl holds up one finger.  

[Packersfan#4#12]

I've listened to this song 5 times now. I still can't wrap my head around it lol

[Bitchisback]

Give it a few weeks

Great. Now we have a studio cut of Silkworms. This song is utter shite. Absolute fucking embarrassment. Slash should be ashamed of himself for even wanting to be close to this. Casual fans are going to crucify them for this and rightly so. 

[FuriousStyles]

I do give them credit that they've been applauded for throwing shit at the wall - that the standard of practice for Guns N' Roses has fallen so incredibly low - that a reworked song that is 20 years old - is met with any type of positive reception is impressive. Most impressive.

Same here. Ill be honest that slow part in the song I fucking love and I don't know why lol

[suckerpunched03]

Packers favre Rodgers. I agree. I keep listening.

Personally I think the instrumental part is good... It has a groove. I really don't know who wrote the lyrics , if it was Axl, Pittman with Dizzy or the 3 together... But it's a weak melody and with tempo flaws! A begginer mistake. 

Slash inputs are much better in the studio than it has been live . Don't get the british accent on this one. I get it on Down On The Farm, here it doesn't make sense. The bridge is cool because it's a left turn ... 

Sayin that , you can write, rewrite, record, re-record, tweak here and there, produce, over produce... A weak ideia always will be a weak idea, no matter how hard you work on it

[sl4yer]

It was a clever move in so many ways

Whatever they’re going to release after this will be better!
