st0n3r Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 (edited) It's safe to say it's completely 'absurd' to release this 'turd' as a first single. Man, I'm disappointed. Also fucking hate the production. Edited August 6, 2021 by st0n3r 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no doubt in my mind he jerks off to these lyrics I definitely think when Slash heard this for the first time he really dug the lyrics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prairieboy Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Me - I can’t fucking believe they released Silkworms, what a terrible choice. Also me - I should probably listen to it again…. Fuck, it’s kind of good. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillConnor_1982 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 28 minutes ago, StrangerInThisTown said: I don't understand this logic complaining of old vocal tracks. Do you want age 58 Axl vocals? Do you think that's an improvement? The older the vocals the BETTER they will sound because Axl was YOUNGER. The further back they were recorded the better they will sound. Fuck, put unreleased 1988 vocals somewhere if you can, GNR. Exactly! People will care less when they’re vocal tracks for songs no ones heard yet. Then we will all argue what year they were recorded lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyMick3 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I love it. Hasn’t shown up on ITunes for me yet but been listening to it on YouTube . Slash and Duff…man simple stuff but they have made it good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She could have also answered: "this is indeed a reworked old song, but don't worry, new things will arrive fast." But I'm just saying whatever I want to.

GNFNRUK Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 (edited) I keep seeing comments saying this is mixed well but to me, the part where Axl says “screaming fucking banshee” sounds off key, like it’s been pasted over the instrumental in the wrong place. It comes in too early. The whole thing sounds like a bad cut and paste job that was mixed in GarageBand. It’s like Axl has gone from being this perfectionist tinkering with songs for 15 years until they’re perfect in his head to “oh fuck it just release that to shut them up”. I mean it’s the same verse repeated 3 times and the word ‘Absurd’ for the chorus ffs… Edited August 6, 2021 by GNFNRUK 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jd123 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Silkworms as the lead single? Truly the darkest timeline. I joke, I joke. New music released!!! Listening closely and the drums are tight! Brain throws in a good performance as usual - def one of the most underrated musicians associated with Chinese in general. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes in too early. They shifted that specific line digitally for sure, the original Village Sessions leak has that line where it was for the live performances that we are all used to. It lands now on beat 4 of the previous beat as opposed to right at the start of the beat on the next bar. It was also like that on the BBF leak so the line has been altered for many years now in the studio It is in key though, or at least as in-key as it can be with a more yelling vocal delivery in a punk rock vein Edited August 6, 2021 by WhazUp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketan Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 As someone who enjoyed previous versions of silkworm, especially the leaked demos, i am glad they are doing it. All though one of the charms of the song was the electronics which seems to be missing here, as well as the high pitched elephant thingy.

axljungle Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 (edited) I don't like too much this song, but for the 1st single it's an horrible idea, Hard Skool is better. We are die hard fans of the band, but people outside will hear this as the 1st song with Duff n' Slash and a lot of people don't want to hear anymore. Hard Skool is better for rock fans, this is very strange. Imagine that the 1st Illusions single were "My world"? I didn't buy the albums.

This was one of the most interesting parts to me as it was in the 2008 BBF leak - is this Buckethead or BBF with the killswitch intro? I imagine it’s Bucket but do we know? I guess if it is Bucket there may be some hope that in other scenarios they may have kept Finck/Bucket! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
