suckerpunched03 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 (edited) There’s no way anyone expect this to be a commercial hit. I think they are posturing themselves as a band that’s making legit stuff and not streets of Los Angeles. Clearly. I could be wrong. But I think they are having fun and setting some expectations *proof read and left it. Wrong song title.

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 Maybe Axl nixed the “What can I do with a bitch like you” because it was Pittmans lyric? But it was nixed in the Bumblefoot leak so who knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNRfanJen Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I haven't been on here since this thing came out because I've been a little busy losing my goddamn mind, but WOW. I can't believe my ears. I'm sure I'll formulate a more critical opinion tomorrow, but for right now, I'm just taking it all in. My favorite band has released new music for the first time in 13 years. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A weak ideia always will be a weak idea, no matter how hard you work on it I like what you say here. I think over the years AXL got so technical/worried/perfectionist, whatever you want to say. You make a song, release it. Rn’R is not supposed to be perfect. I don’t totally dig this song, but it’s a step. Just release what you all have made or re-recorded, some will like it, some won’t. People will still come to see GN’R. They probably missed out on a a lot of good albums because of worrying about the perfect GN’R record. Hard to come out with your best album first. Hard to live up to. Edited August 6, 2021 by mamundson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luciusfunk Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Not my favorite, not even when it was Silkworms, but it’s an official release of a song never officially released before. I’ll take it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of a song on CD I wouldn't rather hear than this except maybe TIL. May very well just be the newness-ish of an official release. I’ve tried and tried to come around to CD and I know I’m an idiot and it’s a mental thing because I think I’d view it in a much more favorable light if it’d been an Axl solo record. At any rate, I think I’ll be much more leveled down with you when I wake up tomorrow haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know divorce and alimony are expensive, but he is fucking better than this. The first true comeback studio song is fucking Silkworms? That he even entertained playing on that piece of shit makes me sad, but that he willingly recorded it in a studio and released it to the public is a black mark on his legacy. God forbid they release a banger of a studio song to announce they are back to the world. No, we get fucking Silkworms. This is a banger.

surforia Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 It sounds great with headphones. Axl’s voice sounds warped and trippy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
