Absurd / Silkworms

[Gavgnr]

Physical release being worked on.

Pressing vinyl just takes a bit longer due to the capacity at the pressing plants...

Was that a single, an EP, or an LP? 

I’ll second that question! 

[PermissionToLand]

Well he's posting it in the Absurd thread, so I think that's a clear hint.

[Gavgnr]

Not a criticism, but would it really be worth going to the trouble of pressing just a single in this day and age?

Yes!

[Ignatius]

Even if it's just a single, it's great news. Besides, singles in physical format are normally 1-3 songs, right?

I'm pretty sure there has to be another track in there...the question is...which?

Hard School? a new cover?

If there's actually a b-side, it will not be available digitally until the physical format has been released.

I can't wait!

I'm hoping for 7"  with a B- side and 12" with the B-side and another more  song, new or a live version. And when the physical release is ready a streaming release.

I think Absurd was better choice than hard skool cause it was nice to remember GNR as a dangerous bad ass rock band.
Most would expect SCOM or NR 2.0 or some really well manufactured radio song but instead we got a song that perfectly represents who GNR were and are. Everyone else was going left in the 80s they were going right

Same here, GNR were never meant to be a love song band and would be easy to fall into that formula

My thoughts exactly!
It's not their best single maybe, but far from worst, least liked song. I like it, it's like "Taste good dont't it" meets "My World". Attitude and even music is def gnr, but not from the expected angle in the mainstream, which is good.
Who likes, or cares about mainstream? Fuck that!

Anyone looked into Beta's comments on Absurd? Apparently she replied to a fan in Portuguese that the song will be on the CD. I'm just wondering if that was translated new album, or literally CD as in Chinese Democracy (maybe the mythical remix album or a deluxe set or something).

I hope they pass on this song.

Public not exactly clamoring for more CD though, are they?

GNR's FB page today has a pic of the setlist from last night and asks "what would you add"?

- Total requests to add a CD song, any CD song : ZERO
- Total requests CD songs are dropped entirely : MANY

The funny thing is, when Axl has introduced Absurd, he's said things like "you might not like it, but we will play it anyway.....".

I can't really understand the people, especially hardcore fans, who would like to hear another Welcome To The Jungle, Sweet Child, November Rain, etc. I get that some may not like Absurd but asking for a copy-paste of the hits is just as Absurd as the song itself. As I said, I adore the new song and I am really excited with the direction that they are going. I hope the next song will be even more aggressive and dirty, however I'm pretty sure it will be more for the generic public. On the other hand, perhaps that's just me. No wonder I'm that huge fan of the band because of Garden Of Eden, Right Next Door To Hell and plenty of others non-famous tracks.

I think the same way. Would be dreamy if they could play maybe some theaters, clubs even, with a setlist whitout almost all, if not all "classics". Only new material/ deep cuts.
Kinda liberating for everybody on the stage and in an at least hardcore audience  to go  a show whitout Paradise City, KOHD....Just start with "Oh My God" and let loose...

Occam's Razor: She's talking about the physical CD copies of the Absurd single.

As far as the setlist, I think they'll have more freedom after the NITL tour is over. Obviously the reunion attracts a lot of fair-weather fans who won't stick around for the album and beyond.

The NITL tour is over we’re fk back is the current tour

Yep. Sounds like a remix...An absurd,IMO!

No surprise Dizzy is listed, he actually wrote the original. Strange that Slash and Duff are considered to have added enough to get credit, but maybe they're just splitting the credit on everything from now on?
