Following its live debut earlier in the week, Guns N’ Roses have just shared an official studio recording of 'new' song ABSUЯD.
The track is a reworked version of the song Silkworms, which was first played live in 2001 and written during the (very long-running) Chinese Democracy sessions. ABSUЯD was produced by frontman Axl Rose and Caram Costanzo, recorded and mixed by Caram, and features Brain Mantia on drums.

When it comes to other new GN'R music in general, in April 2020 bassist Duff McKagan’s wife, Susan Holmes McKagan, teased: "I will say Guns N’ Roses have been working fastidiously on some killer new stuff. I can’t say much, but I’ve heard bits and bobs and it’s pretty epic. I do want to spread good news, but not detailed news, I guess. Hopefully that’ll put a spring in your step!”

Check out the lyrics below:
Ha-oww
Listen motherfuckers to the song that should be heard
Back down in the gutter is more than you deserve
Screaming fucking banshee, you know that’s what you are
Pussy full of maggots, isn’t that absurd
Dizzy little dreamer with your head down in the stars
Fucking little schemer lost yourself inside the art
Syphilitic priestess baby, I know who you are
Parasitic demon sucking acid through your heart
Absurd
Absurd
Absurd
Ha-oww
Ha-oww
Listen motherfuckers to the song that should be heard
Back down in the gutter is more than you deserve
Screaming fucking banshee, you know that’s what you are
Pussy full of maggots, isn’t that absurd
Absurd
Absurd
Absurd
Ha-oww
Ha-oww
Just another life slips away
Ha-oww
Listen motherfuckers to the song that should be heard
Back down in the gutter is more than you
deserve
Screaming fucking banshee you know that’s what you are
Pussy full of maggots, isn’t that absurd
Absurd
Ha-oww
Absurd
