I like Absurd but can’t help but think they’ll need a ‘big gun’ to create decent press.

I said I wouldn’t go to another gig without new music.
I’m looking at tickets again. Album announcement would be a clincher.

GNR release new single.

Think they’re only doing 2 or is this the start of the flood?
This reminds me of when the leaks were happening...we could never get enough.
To answer the question....
I wouldn't expect anything else for another month or so. Having said that.... Hardschool is on the setlist....so that means it could happen at any time.
I'm predicting three singles...and the album launches with the third.
That seems to be the normal pattern so hopefully album drops towards the end of the year.

The trip sounds like it repeated in the second verse around the 1.25 mark

Positives: It’s nice to hear Axl and Slash together on their first song in 30 years.
Negatives: it’s a shame it’s an Axl vocal take from 20 years ago.
But like others have said, if he sounded better back then, why bother trying to recapture that kind of take now when he can’t do it?
It’s still so damn bizarre to me at this point, that we have a new single, and that it’s got Slash, and that it’s fucking Silkworms…!
I’m still not quite comprehending all of this.
If anyone would have predicted this a month ago they’d have been laughed off the forum!

Totally unexpected! If this was planned as a single why was it on the ‘alt’ list from the start? I appreciate that the band have made this more ‘GnR’ adding Duff and Slash. It maybe not one of my faves but I agree with James, let’s support the band. Looking forward to the next few months...

Anyone else triggered by the sloppy edit job on the first verse with the skip at screaming fucking banshee part that is not even on the other verses when he sings it again. It was there on the BBF version, you would think they would have fixed it since it was not there on the village version.
Yes...Absurd! They really should fix that if this is intended for an album.

Is it me or is Axl using some kind of voice effect on this? I get it’s his deep voice but it also sounds a little distorted
#319 Re: Guns N' Roses » We don't really expect a new setlist do we? » 214 weeks ago
If Axl gets to release ‘CD2’ and ‘CD3’ the way he wants to (songs, artwork, promotion etc) and can fulfil his original 3 album dream then good for him. Perhaps relations with the record company are in a better place now and they’re more comfortable just letting him get on with it. Exciting!

Absurd - kudos for playing something ‘new’ Seemed like Axl sang the song with attitude and a bit of venom, which was fun. Not sure I like the ‘absurd’ part.
Perhaps it will be a b-side to a new single (if b-sides still exist!)
