I really liked the clip we all had for years and had high hopes for the rest of the song. But to me its really weak and kind of cringy/embarrassing "Hard School"?. Wtf are we like 15 or something... Its really basic and easily forgotten 😔 To me this proves that Axl needs Slash and Duff and Izzy more than ever if we are gonna see anything remotely worthy of the gnr name. Wheres the riffs??? I think the hype you are speaking of is due to being on a gnr forum and this being a song title known for a long time so people are excited to finally hear it. Hard school is a strange term. What the hell is a rocket queen for that matter? Why don’t you just write the next song since you know where it needs to go? I mean seriously, you know the direction and what you want to hear, just write and record it? It’s like you don’t have to eat at the restaurant. You liked a meal there once but everything has been shit since. So you order the same thing you liked or stop eating there or make something yourself. Didnt Duff write a song about Facebook? Slash’s solo stuff was highly... questionable until recently. Izzy has some great solo stuff but if I’m being honest, half of it is forgettable. Not trying to put you down I just don’t get the complaints and it’s not you specifically, just in general people like to complain like I’m doing now about people complaining. Damn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevelle Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Damn, I'm SO happy to finally hear this. The little clip of the "all cautions made" section had me curious for YEARS and I always thought it was probably part of a really good song. So for it to turn out that, yeah, it actually IS a really good song...it feels pretty satisfying after all these years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn Ok, get me in the studio with these guys and i will 100% come up with something far far better 👍 The song is just lame and basic 🤷♂️ Same goes for Atlas.. Which is just embarrassing 🤦♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DelusionalIllusions Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Imho there's nothing boring about Hard School. It sounds like it would fit alongside YCBM & Estranged nicely on UYI 2. In some ways HS sounds like a mix of those two song's vibes. Guitar work is totally sick, especially the solo and outro and when Axl turns it up, the song evokes more YCBM and OTGM vibes I dig this song lots. A finished mix would likely sound cool as hell.

Basic_GnR_Fan Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 So Jackie Chan/Hardschool was a song that Slash and Duff were working on for the 96 Jackie Chan movie "Rumble in the Bronx" right? Or is that wrong? I remember a Duff interview on Howard Stern from 96 where he said they were working on a song for that soundtrack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would actually root for this story for the shear absurdity. Look at it from my perspective, I’m sitting here giving advice to the next Izzy Stradlin. My shoulders will be a little wider tomorrow at work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocknroll41 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I just wanted to come here and say that, regardless of how anyone feels about any of these leaks, it’s still GREAT to finally hear axl’s voice again, especially on this song! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockytop Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I really like Hardschool, especially the verses and chorus. I'm not crazy about the intro/bridge/guitar solos, but that could easily be fixed with Duff and Slash. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Guapo Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Yeah, for this song it would make so much sense to rewrite it in a more old Guns style. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's clearly not meant to stay the way it is now. I guess there were supposed to be vocals, a nice Slash solo would work as well. Or a mixture of both.

Amir Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Listened to it again a few times today. Now I even dig the extended intro, especially on a decent pair of headphones to really feel the drums. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
