Silk worms

[norway]

This is a great song, kinda scary, dangerous, nevroutic and potent and have all the twitches to it

but what is this song about?

death? is he singing pussy for the maggots or something else

can't wait to hear this as a studio version

[mikegiuliana]

SOrry to say that is my least favorite song, even my world beats this one.. I hope we never ever hear the likes of that song again.. Made me think of prodigy the first time I heard it and that's all I have to say about that.

Pussy full of maggots

I dont think the song was too bad in all fairness. I may be wrong but I reckon it may be very different by now it was a pretty early incarnation of it at Rio in 2001!

The prodigy are an absolutely fantastic group!

[shaun]

It's an ok song, not as good a raw GN'R song although
it's on par with the average OMG song from End of Days if you aks me?

[Mikkamakka]

It's the worst GN'R song ever, and one of the worst songs in the history of music.

[anythinggoes]

although not my favorite song i like this song with its sudden changes from slow to fast the lyrics may not be great but the musical 'Mess' sounds great imo but i understand why people dont like it as it aint commercial.

This is how I feel, if I want to hear prodigy type songs I will listent o prodigy, but I expect different when I hear gnr.. Hope that makes secne.. I hate industrial music, it has a fake element to it..

Fair play Mike, I wasnt knocking your opinion! I didnt really explain myself properly in my earlier post. I personally wouldnt be keen on Silkworms being on CD, it certainly wouldnt how I invisage Guns music new or old. All I was saying is that its not the worst song in the world and I imagine that 3 years on from Rio the song may be more developed now, cos it seemed pretty unfinished to me in that concert! I know what you mean about some Industrial music sounding kinda fake! But I certainly wouldnt say that about the Prodigy though.

and with gnr you wan't appetite revisited? There's so much more availebale now that it was when oldgnr recorded their albums, silkworms is def. not for the mtv or the sellout biz, but it has this approach, it reminds a bit of the danger and mettality in double talking jive

[nesquick]

It's the worst GN'R song ever, and one of the worst songs in the history of music.

same for "oh my god" or "my world". It is a question of musical style. Indus music doesn't work for GN'R. but hoppefully, there are other songs, more "normal" songs like the blues and madagascar.

[elmaestro]

I think Silkworms is a great song, it could well be one of the surprises of (one of) the next record(s).

Tough I have to admit: it was not the 'Rio-version' that convinced me, I found the 'Vegas-version' mindblowing.

I like the 'doomy-kinda' intro to the song and the tempo changes halfway through the song. ?I think of it as a short, hard, agressiver rocker.

It's definately something different from the other GNR-tunes and it makes curious to what else they have in store for us.

[norway]

The second leans probably a little more to aggressive electronica with full guitars, where the first one is definitely more guitar-based.

Silkworm is a fantastic song! The new GNR prove that thay can make industrial METAL! Its a great song! 

[notlikeMiKE]

my worst fear is hearing more songs like silk worms...it's not gnr at all.

[Nytunz]

Well, we dont know much about what Guns N Roses is! If u think they will make the same type of music az the old GNR did back in the days, well, then ur waiting for nothing!

[norway]

Hardrock had some terrible albums in the 70's and 80's but it developed into a serious potent genre

most industrial or electronic rock i've heard has been terrible-

- but as with hardrock i think this genre is here to stay and develope, guns seems to have interest in this direction and i think they will do this genre more justice than previous bands

silkworms has a certain double talking jive direction i like, it's different but really cool an in all

varity rocks,

 as axl said: it will be a diverse record

[younggunner]

Silk Worms is an awesome song. I love Axls voice and punch. The vegas version kicks the rio versions ass. Big time. I can only imagine a studio recording of the song. All th eosunds and everything must sound really cool. You get to hear most of the effects in the intro on the vegas version but im sure it doesnt compare to a studio version. The song has a lot of cool punk elements to it as well. I love the intro and when the band jams towards the end. Cool song...lyrics arent meant to change the world but there cool sleazy lyrics.

When I was talkin to Bumblefoot a few weeks back he asked me to send him the new gnr songs and when he told me about silk worms he siad it had a Pink Floyd vibe to it....

[Dr. Blutarsky]

Well, we dont know much about what Guns N Roses is! If u think they will make the same type of music az the old GNR did back in the days, well, then ur waiting for nothing!

I agree. I am exited about the fact GNR are going to be pushing the envelope much more thanthe old band was willing to do. If you are still dissapointed that GNR isn`t going to be like the old band, doing all the aerosmith meets AC/DC sound, listen to the old stuff or go get Contraband.

VR is good, but not groundbreaking.

And Silkworms is an awesome song. Its not pop friendly, maybe thats why a lot of people don`t like it. It isn`t Sweet Child O` Mine.

Judging from the comments here, undoubtedly this is the very Imposing piece.
The excellent spirit of Adventure with a sense of Abstract (I guess you?ve never seen this phrase in other thread )

I may prefer this song with stronger kinda primitive Bass beats. Also an additional touch of coherence in the structure may help listeners digestion. The lyrics could be about the song itself?whoops!?

Overall, I like this song.
