What do you think will happen to this song? Do you think this song is definitely shelved, or will it be released eventually on a CD Boxset?
Do you think Slash and Duff will re-record it with their parts? Do you think they will write new lyrics ?

Re: Silkworms - General discussion and Rumors
It was already re-recorded since rio. So there's already a bumblefoot era version thats a bit different.
It changed the chorus section and although its still electronic sounding in the way of all the CD era songs its WAY more guitar based than that rio synth version.
My opinion is that although you wouldn't know it from that rio performance, the underlying guitar riff is actually quite rock based, I think if Slash re-recorded it - then it would end up sounding a lot like a Led Zep kinda song - almost like something like "Whole Lotta Love". I know that sounds worlds away from what you posted - but the way he "rocked up" the Chinese Democracy riffs could be applied very easily to the more recent versions of Silkworms.
Re: Silkworms - General discussion and Rumors
On the 20 seconds clip of the studio leak, it seems like Axl's voice has some sound effects in it, can someone confirm if those sound effects last for the whole song? Is there any rasp in Axl's voice on the rest of the song?
The guitars underneath the effects sound like something Pink Floyd would write, but obviously with a modern digital twist.
I'm more interested in the 2000 version of the song, but it would be nice to hear any version of this song.
Re: Silkworms - General discussion and Rumors
yes and no. it’s different, but still there. the chorus is gone tho (so what could i do/with a bitch like you/all i...through the last bitch like you)
Yeap, that I know, the chorus is just one word , it wouldn't surprise me if they named the song after the Chorus, if they decided that Silkworms was just a working title.
