GUNS N’ ROSES have released the official audio version of “Absurd,” following their live debut of the reworked “Silkworms” song at Boston’s Fenway Park on August 3rd.

“Some of you might have heard this under another name, but this is really kind of absurd to try this,” Axl Rose joked to a drum sting from Frank Ferrer as he introduced the propulsive song. It’s aptly renamed given the lyrics that include Rose sneeringly singing the song’s title throughout.

GUNS N’ ROSES have performed the original “Silkworms” as early as 2001 and it appears they have not played it since, as Ultimate Classic Rock points out. The track was reportedly written during the Chinese Democracy sessions.
