The arrival of the band’s first new music in 13 years comes just days after they performed the tune during an August 3 concert at Fenway Park in Boston, MA.
“Absurd” has its origins in a track that was first written and recorded during sessions for “Chinese Democracy”; known as “Silkworms”, the group played the song just four times in 2001 before shelving it from their live set and the final track list for the 2008 album.
“See? I never run out of love songs,” joked Axl Rose after the Boston debut of the revamped tune. “That was fun. So you heard it here first, a new Guns N’ Roses song."
Guns N’ Roses launched their 2021 US tour at Hersheypark Stadium in Hershey, PA on July 31.
