But I also believe that Matt not liking the final product has to be more with Eric Dover and the way Slash picked Dover without telling him than really with the songs... Yeah, probably.

If they can do this with their supposedly worst song from the Chinese Democracy era and turn it into an awesome song, imagine what they can do with all the other songs??

StrangerInThisTown Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 (edited) If the Its Five O Clock songs would have been the next GNR album after illusions that would definitely have been a step backwards after UYI. I'm not even sure what the band could have released in the mid 90s that would be really successfull. Other bands crashed and burned no matter what they tried in the 90s (Motley Crue). In a way it was best for their legacy in the long run that GNR imploded and skipped that decade and avoided that fate. Now they can come out with whatever didn't happen back then.

Blackstar Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I went and listened to the guitar version of Silkworms with Bumblefoot and thought it was terrible. Barely listenable. I don't understand why some people say that Absurd it's just the Bumblefoot version with Slash. In any case, although I don't think I want to listen to Absurd again for a while, it's a huge improvement. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouting about a parasitic, syphilitic priestess baby with a pussy full of maggots sticks out so much because, honestly, there are a lot of bands who wouldn't even *dare* say that type of shit in today's climate. That's a certain type of ballsy, 'fuck you' swagger that I love from this band. So to recap: 1. Mean, aggressive sounding punk tune? Check. 2. Axl ranting without a care in the world? Check. 3. Slash shredding away? Check. Yep. They don't give a s****, never had. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also shows that everyone raging that “Silkworms” is the first single with Slash are basically screaming into a vacuum. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allwaystired Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 (edited) Wonder if Beta will start sending abuse to reviewers who don't like the new material? That would be a pretty swift way to get GNR a lot of shit! I really can't see why on earth she'd want to respond to people online who don't like it. There are no positive benefits to it all, for her, the band, or anyone else. I wish they'd focus on some of us being super-excited rather than people who aren't. Anything any band releases will always be disliked by some people. Edited August 7, 2021 by allwaystired 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratam Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 To me it song sound a bit ambiguous, Slash sound very GN'R , while Axl singing is a Prodigy vibe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No.1 on iTunes rock charts I’d say pretty damn good 😁 Are you sure it's #7? I'm looking at the iTunes main chart right now and it's showing #19. Still pretty good considering the strange style of the song and the fact that rock music isn't very popular these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ktucker450 Posted August 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 7, 2021 I’ve been listening to this song on repeat, was skeptical at first but I am beginning to absolutely love it. Slash sounds amazing on it , it’s aggressive , it’s not sell out radio friendly. This song rocks 2 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peachgum Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I am honestly just happy the band is releasing stuff. Hopefully many more will come. I have only gotten back to listening to them for the first time after like 10 years. I really missed how much I loved them back them and how good i found their music. UYIs especially. However, I do understand the people who were waiting to be enthralled by the new release. They've been waiting for so long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was #12 yesterday for me, but has dropped to #21 at this point. This morning it was #14, then #19 a couple hours ago, and now it's #21.

Martin Riggs Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 5 hours ago, GoodOlJohnnyK said: Fans complaining about what should and should not be the first single of a potential new album is ridiculous - we're not marketing executives for a record label. Who *cares* what would make a good first single or where it falls on the charts? All of that shit only matters to people in the music industry. Simply an absurd take. Who cares? A lot of people care..hence you and all of us being on a fucking music message board instead of doing more productive things with our lives! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Slash didn’t want to hand the songs over to Axl knowing they wouldn’t see the light of days for years. Which effectively meant not touring and Slash OD’ing alone in his house 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerInThisTown Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 The only thing that strikes me as odd is that there was no announcement with it. No album/EP it's from. It promotes nothing. That may not be a good sign, but it's not totally out of the norm. They're definitely not putting out an album with the goal of selling millions of it at this stage anyway, and may just be wanting to release songs for the reason that (gasp) they're artists.

Didn't he say "Fall to Pieces" was one of them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always thought that was a kickass tune. You’re not alone. Even Tomass likes the song. Tomass would you be ok with reworking and releasing OMG at some point? Or just brand new songs?
