Has the Seeker been played this tour? The Seeker not being played is possibly the best thing to come out of this tour so far if true lol.

Scroll around to any story, YouTube vid, forum, etc., and the majority are calling this crap. Can't really blame them. They expect the classic GNR sound.
It's nice to have new music, of course. That's all I've ever wanted. It's certainly not my favorite. Hopefully it gets better from here.
I'm afraid this'll get abused when rock reviewers start filing their stories.
Yea, I'm trying not to shit on everyone's parade but this song doesn't do anything for me other than get my hopes up more, better songs are coming. Happy they released something, but Silkworms/Absurd isn't a track to build support for a new Guns album on.
I didn't want to be the turd in the punchbowl, but I'm not gonna be a nutswinger either. I've been clear over the years that rehashed tours were not what excites me. New music is. So, now that I've got it, I still complain? (Besides the fact this isn't new.) Well, when this is the "new," yeah, I'm a little underwhelmed.
It's not me that matters, though. Take a look at the talk around this. It's not good. We know Axl could definitely be impacted by a tidal wave of bad reviews.
Should have led with Hard School.
Yep, but Axl and Axl and he is out to prove some shit. This song blows. What is the purpose of the bridge? It goes nowhere.

It was a message from Axl that he is still GNR and even Slash and Duff can’t polish this turd of a song vocally. Put on 1993 Axl with a better chorus and you may have something.

It was dropped at the same time Silkworms was....and we know the later CD lineup worked on both tracks.

Absurd
Hardschool
Oh My GodIf it's a 12 track album.... we're off to a great start!
Add in a reworked/proper Atlas Shrugged, which is closely related musically to Catcher in the Rye. I wouldn't bother limiting it to 12 tracks either. Albums don't really "matter" as much. So I'd rather them just release whatever is the best material at once. No use holding it back.
I wouldn't even be opposed to an even shorter album.
You're right... albums are different now.
No one is listening to Appetite for Destruction...they're listening to Jungle, SCOM, and PC.
You need a series of singles to promote your tour.
Absurd
Hardschool
Oh My God
Atlas
Oklahoma
Soul Monster
The General
Another songRelease that...you can get three singles out of it... maybe more if it really catches on.
Throw a song in a movie....there will be a Mission Impossible movie next summer.
I still listen to AFD.
Thank God Slash and Myles have an album coming out too where we get some normal lead playing over traditional rock to go along with Slash playing on songs like “Absurd”. Lol. Not many kids will be taking “Absurd” to their guitar teacher to learn.

Yes! Accept your mac daddy!
Seriously though i get why the rio3 version with the synth wasn't for everyone but these guitars rock hard. It's a really cool little rocker IMO. Love the little bend fortus does coming out of the solo around 1.38 and slash's solos are cool too.
Slash seems into it too. So that is cool.

Funny thing is, we know Axl browses the forums.
There's a not-insignificant chance that he's in here reading us complaining about losing "a bitch like you," and singing the opening verse of Slither all wrong (for fuck's sake, Axl), and he's just going to double down and go, "Fuck 'em, I do what I want." He's nothing if not stubborn.
I mean, the fact that he's clung onto Silkworms for 20 years, through three different incarnations of the band, when half the fanbase hates it is hilarious to me.
Truly, he is a master troll.
Amazing how shitty he sings slither yet can belt out this or CD effortless.
