DeadSlash Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) Anyone else who has/is capable/prone to having GnR based goosebump/chills moments get the chills from when Axl sing "More of a man" It's like a pure rage growl the way he says "man" He sometimes sounds like that in a few of the more iconic early live gigs, but the way he sings that line really stands out to me compared to anything that was studio based.

jamillos Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) I have to be honest. I’ve really gotten to love this song, it’s gotten under my skin, and I consider it one of the best three leaks ever, the other ones being Saskatoon and House of Blues (not counting pro-shots from earlier). But considering just audio, this is the best thing ever so far. And I want more. Edited August 31, 2019 by jamillos 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chills. Axl sings it with so much venom, it's the part where he pulls out all the stops emotionally. His bitter anger towards (I think it's) Slash is palpable. My favorite part of the song. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towelie Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) Yeah, this song definitely holds up well to repeated listens. Just hoping and praying we get Atlas too and then I don't care if GNR don't release anything new for another year. Two great songs in one year (assuming Atlas is of the same standard as Hard School) is more than we've had in over a decade.

Rovim Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) Personally I believe it's about Slash cause I remember Axl said before the classic line up broke up that as long as he and Slash share "that" bond, there will be a Guns N' Roses. Something like that. It just seems like both Axl and Slash knew they shared special chemistry together and even though Axl had a connection with Izzy too and Slash n' Duff share a strong bond as well, there's a reason why Axl said that about Slash. The lyrics in Hard School seem to specifically address the way Axl saw his relationship with Slash and I think he was probably crushed when Slash left and why Slash had this to say about it in an interview he did with Nikki Sixx in 2018: "It was on the phone and then we got together when I got back into town," he told Nikki Sixx on his Six Sense radio show. "I was on the road, I was in Peru. I remember it specifically. It was very cathartic to physically talk. 'Cause there's a bond that you have that's never (broken), and then what happens is the bond makes the negative side of that much worse, because you're forced out of it." "There was always that thing, and I won't get into all the personal stuff. There was a lot of bad feelings from the breakup all throughout that 20 years, whatever it was. But there's also a part of you that's, like, in a marriage, where you love somebody... so there's always that feeling, but then there's all this negative stuff." He added: "there was so much stuff perpetuated in the media, and it just was blown out of proportion. So when he and I talked for the first time, it was really, really cool." https://ultimateclassicrock.com/slash-guns-n-roses-reunion-show/ Edited August 31, 2019 by Rovim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillionsOfSpiders Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 My personal bet is every word on Hard School is about Slash. Axl being really angry about someone playing it too cool, not wanting to save what they had and having to do things their way and he also mentions lies. It all points to Slash. (I do find it really funny that you could apply the lyrics to Axl himself as much as anyone though ) Whatever it’s about, I’ve become addicted to this song. I thought I’d be listening to nothing but the new Tool album right now but I’m still listening to HS. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izzy and Axl were friends since highschool Axl and kurt didn't had anything. Unless you want it to be about cobain. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
