I always loved Silkworms so Im glad its back in the set

P.S - The bug which prevented new topics from being posted is now fixed. Sorry all I didn't know the bug existed, haven't been on the forum in a while smile

exoterica

Hell yeah. Sounded solid.

I hope they dial back the more shrill elements in the mix but I dug the more rock vibe.

Will or James need to update the songs section now.

James

I'd LOVE to update the GNR discog section....

Absurd.....

Still doesn't blow me away but it's suitable for release. Can't build an album around it....more like a deep cut.

They have balls if they release it as a single.

I don't pay attention much to upcoming movies.

I wonder if there's potential soundtrack possibilities?

jimmythegent

I can't see this as a single release. It's deep cut material for sure.... your average meat and potatoes old school GN'R fan will react similarly to OMG and Chinese Democracy and radio stations will promptly follow suit.... Hard Skool is my bet.

Was Absurd on the setlist for the Hershey show? We could possibly have more new songs played each gig potentially if the mood takes them?

exoterica

Yeah it was on the Hershey set list. I think the only other new one was Hard School.

This is a song GNR fans might hate but metal fans would dig. It’s just a rocker. They stripped out the electronic elements outside of the bridge false ending. It’s wilder and got more guitars just like Axl said.

jimmythegent

Oh it was on Hershey? I thought it was just this one ….

Here's the whole performance with way better audio

Sorry, don't seem to be able to embed anymore?

exoterica

Yeah someone posted the set list picture and it was on the alternates

That Medusa head artwork is badass as hell.

And yeah Slash is doing work on this song. Killer.

slashsfro

Both Old school and Absurd were on the alt setlists for the first two shows of the tour. Maybe they really planned on debuting new music on this tour.

monkeychow

Well fuck me.....I like it.

I always liked these lyrics how they're kinda abusively poetic...like "Syphilic Priestess
Baby, I know who you are, Parasitic demon, Sucking acid through your heart" or whatever it is...there's such a way with words there.

Bring out the studio version please - I'll take it!! I like it!
