Sosso Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) That reminds me of all the Protesters before Rock concerts in the 80s. Seems like the next Generation has etablished a new way of trolling . Edited August 9, 2021 by Sosso 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God of Thunder Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Very weird song, don`t understand the intention of releasing. Maybe there was a leak so they came out before? I mean it is kind of big news, a new GnR song after all this time. It was even on CNN. So why don`t release something more catchy? I don`t really hate the song, it just feels unfinished. It has horrible lyrics, no hook, weird timing with the singing and the screaming seems completely random. The underlying guitar work and rythm however is actually not bad, it would even fit the old AfD style. Is anybody else reminded of "Locomotive"? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was 17 years old and my father accompanied me to Vegas, because he knew how much I wanted to see them. He wasn’t into GN’R as much as I was, but as soon as Silk Worms came on with Buckethead and Finck tearing it up on guitar, he was hooked. It ended up being his favorite song performed that night. He has been asking about this song every year since Vegas and I kept telling him it hasn’t been performed and probably won’t be ever again. Since the official release, he can’t believe that they took Bucketheads parts out and switched the song up. I mean, I understand with Slash being back in the band, and it does sound good, but I got used to the original version and was hoping they would keep it that way, as our ears originally heard it. I guess being there and hearing it live changes your perspective on things..In a live setting, the synth and guitars worked back then and being against the rail at 17 years old, the song blew my mind. It’s kind of cool that they still released it two decades later, after my first show, as the first single. My father was pumped as well…just wanted to share my connection with the track and all of the history behind it. That’s crazy! Does your dad like the new version?
