At their Aug. 3 concert at Fenway Park in Boston, Guns N’ Roses debuted a new song “Absurd,” which is a reworking of a previously unreleased song called “Silkworms.” Die-hard fans will recognize portions of the song as “Silkworms,” a track that was originally from the Chinese Democracy sessions, but never appeared on the 2008 album.

The 144-page, fully-illustrated graphic novel features a foreword by Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford and takes readers on a journey from Lemmy’s childhood through the recorded and release of the classic Ace of Spades album.
The Offspring will return to the road later this month, but when they do a longtime member of the band won’t be there. Drummer Pete Parada has revealed that he’s currently out of the group as he has a medical condition where it was determined it was best for him not to receive the Covid-19 vaccination.
