New music from GNR…”Absurd”

Guns N’ Roses have officially released their new song “Absurd.”

The track hit digital streaming services at midnight ET on Aug. 6.

“Absurd” recently found its way into Guns N’ Roses’ setlist, first performed during the band’s Aug. 3 stop in Boston.

“Some of you might have heard this under another name,” Axl Rose admitted to the crowd that night. “But this is really kind of absurd for us to try this. Wasn’t that funny? And they don’t even know the joke yet. Ok, this is called ‘Absurd.’”

The other name Rose was alluding to was “Silkworms,” an abandoned song from the Chinese Democracy sessions. Though the track was ultimately left off the album, it was performed live by the band on four different occasions in 2001.
