Prostitute = Silk Worms?

[Risico]

Interesting theory. I doubt it, but it's interesting.

As for Silkworms, that song rocks. Aggressive guitars, nice electronica break, and a fast pace - I hope it does still exist in some form.

I really think that it's the most "challenging" new-GNR track, and it still stuns me that Axl and Co. brought it out a few times - It's really different, and the negative reactions have never surprised me, but I love it.

I can't understand how people can think silkworms sucks, it's a kick ass song, i fucking hope it's on the second album together with OMG (maybe the 2 most underrated songs from gnr IMO)

All the new songs rock. If we get 3 full albums...

It is plausible that Catcher in the Rye has been changed b/c of copyright issues with JD Salinger, who is a noted recluse and overall pain the ass.

I brought up that very issue last year, and everyone thought I was insane.

I may be insane, but that wasn't a good example to use in proving my insanity.

[madagas]

I kinda like Silkworms too...I call it "industrial punk". Axl's got a pretty wicked scream in there as well.

[ppbebe]

I call it "industrial punk".

jolly well. I'd call it 'industrial punk noise'

Bullshit. Go read the description of Prostitute by Beltrami, and then tell me its Silkworms.


Prostitute is considered to be the best track by several people close to the GNR camp over the years. No way in hell is Silkworms one of the best songs we've heard, and thats not even taking into account the songs we haven't heard.

Its not Prostitute.


Interesting theory though anyways.

if prostitute is the best track why is it not rumored to be the first single.  We are all hearing that better is to be the first single

[Bad Cover Version]

Instrumentally, I think it's an interesting number. Lyrically, it's shameful. Rampant vulgarity make this song seem like a b-side to Buckcherry's 'Crazy Bitch', not a Chinese Democracy tracklist contender.

Oh, and to stay on topic, I firmly believe that Silkworms is NOT Prostitute.

YCBM isn't the best song on the UYI discs, but that didn't stop them from releasing it before any of the other songs. Don't Cry isn't either, and that didn't stop it from being the 2nd single.

[Jackamo!]

Axl did say it had a new name.

But I'm 100% sure it's not Prostitute. That song title has been around even before we heard Silkworms debut.
Plus Tommy said it was like the new line up's SCOM. And the song we heard as Silkworms- obviously isn't anything like SCOM. 

[madagas]

And when the hell did Tommy say that?

[Jackamo!]

A few years ago I think.

I'm pretty sure it was Tommy- his nickname is "General" right? It may have been the guy who worked on it. But I think it was Tommy.

[Chris Axl]

I hear catcher is also renamed.

oh you do? who told you, Axl?

Yeah they call him general because he is the "general" when they reherse , right?

It would be nice if you could get the source where he said that? I believe you but I guess its a intresting read.

[ZoulonFire]

It was recently confirmed by Axl to the EMS people that Silk Worms still existed, but was going under a different name now...

It might, but that doesn't change the fact that 'Prostitute' as a title has existed for years.

Look at the lyrics of Silk Worms, they are clearly about a Prostitute!

Is Locomotive and Nightrain describing trains? November Rain a weathercast? Mr. Brownstone a fella?

Yes.

I tried finding it but had no luck. I found where Paul Bucketmaster (that his name?) describes it as "Fire and Ice". He's the guy who worked on the ochestra or whatever. Somebody must have that Tommy quote.

Silkworms = Created by Pitman

No he didn't.

Dizzy wrote the song, Axl wrote the chorus, and Pitman made the music.

 

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

I hear catcher is also renamed.

oh you do? who told you, Axl?

Duuuude, what's your problem man?  Take it down a notch...ppbebe isn't one to spread BS around, and there's a good chance Catcher HAS been re-named, because of JD Salinger.  Don't you read what people say before you?

[misterID]

I would've thought Better was the new line ups SCOM.

[Mr. Redman]

Why would CITR be renamed? It's a common saying, as I've said it for about 5 years to various ex's.
