Walapino Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 The song has potential, its clearly unfinished. I think it may be about Izzy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I do like the intro it does feel a bit out of place just starting the song like that, the first part of the solo is really place holder sounding but the rest I quite like. It does sound early to me when compared to everything else that has leaked. I think I'd date this around the 'oh my god' timeline. Same drum sound, vocals. To me it sounds like Brain on drums too, the snare rolls etc. reminds of me of the rio gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SONG. is about Slash. Prostitute is about GNR, and maybe Sorry and The Blues referred to Slash. But I will agree that these lyrics for Hard School do seem to be about him. Hard School is sooo about Slash, like I know quite a few CD songs have been said by fans it is about Slash where it may not be the case but I for sure think this song is: "But you had to play it cool, had to do it your wayHad to be a fool, had to throw it all away" - Those lines for sure are referring to what Axl called during the 06 Eddie Trunk thing as "Slash trying to take control of the band" and in Axl's eyes just be a difficult presence with maybe the Snakepit fiasco and Paul Huge, and eventually quitting GNR "Too hard school" I interpret as Axl saying Slash was too busy living his "hard knock life" with the drug abuse and turbulent lifestyle in the 90's as opposed to doing what Axl thought was the best thing for GNR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm9730011 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Quote I saved all the leaks/snippets of Hardschool/checkmate and seemed to notice that the very first snippet that we had goes "All efforts made, Every chance was given No efforts spared To save what we had [repeated 2x then it goes through without transition] [fade to end] " The full song leak we had goes "All efforts made, Every chance was given No efforts spared To save what we had, [did not repeat, went to a different lyrics] All in good faith I did not hesitate To extend myself and lend you my hand [and it transitions to the verse which we first heard in the 2nd leak/snippet]" Anyone got info on this? or was the first ever leak got looped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always found it annoying lol but yeah with the original unaltered first leak you would hear the "all i-" before it cut off, which is the start of the "all in good faith" line But on Youtube since that initial 16 second clip, fans ended up cutting of that start off the second stanza and looped the first to make it longer sounding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dadud Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 im pretty sure this song is from the 99 tape, maybe even the source that razz got his clip from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknroll41 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Axl really needs to change the way he sings “more of a man” here. He sounds like a retard the way he’s singing it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sounds like a retard the way he’s singing it. Upon listening to it a few more times, I realize I was mistaken. It’s not the way he’s singing it, but rather the way the vocals are mixed. The line gets “buried” under the chorus line that comes right after, if that makes sense. Playing around with the mixing levels might be enough for them to fix it.

Had a similar thought. Looks like leaking stuff on a weekend or near a holiday (a lot of people in the US take the last week of August off) is a good strategy!

I don't know that it was a "big gun" but it was surely intended for release. People keep ignoring/not believing there was really a CD 2 planned. I think a song like this goes a long way toward proving there was supposed to be a CD2. This wasn't a song that simply "didn't make the cut" or some shit. It's an awesome track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And considering this is just a god knows how many years old demo, it easily could have been a big gun with perhaps some modifications. Also, while Sorry may have been inspired by Slash, it cannot be deemed strictly about him, since some lines would not make much sense then ("difference is nobody cares about you") – but this Hard School song, it could definitely be completely about him; in fact, I’m almost sure it is. It wouldn’t fit the Izzy situation too much, and the rest is out of the question. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the version we may have from a popular video hosting site the best quality version that leaked? Merck said it was't even in the top 15 or something. I don't think it's a big gun. Did he? Maybe top 15 for CD 1? Or his own top 15? Anyway, it would have been a killer on CD 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
