Why did they not play Monsters? Very disappointed.

The General is absolutely amazing, both parts! I get goosebumps when I hear it!
One of the best and most interesting songs GNR have ever done in my opinion.

I also think that using 20 year old vocals on the new songs is due to the fact that he knows that his voice is shot and he can’t deliver anymore… that’s probably why he’s afraid to record new material and taking so much time to release all the CD leftovers.
just my opinion.- 1

They should just release the fucking song now along with the other ones that haven’t been released yet from the sessions with Duff and Slash.
Axl should stop thinking that all this is something special and unique. Also Perhaps really isn’t a great song in my opinion.
Release all that shit and concentrate on new music after the tour.what Axl is doing here is just a joke. I’m sorry for the rest of the band…

True that. But he posted into the litho thread and now there's a thread about the thread talking about what was actually said (or not) and whether it was about Hardskool or the signature. Or promo. Or something. Absurd, really.
I think there will be a single in form of the song Hard School, BUT a complete album? I believe it when I see it...

If there will ever be a new album, it will only consist of OLD Axl vocals.

The fact that they managed to add 1 new song to the setlist this year shows that they are unbelievable lazy and just go out and play, earn a lot of money from the fans, who are paying for this and don't care about their fanbase at all.

Who the hell cares about a Vinyl with one song on it?

I think CD from 2008 will be the final release, because CD II never gets released.

It's all about the level at which the bar is set individually. Like some of you are saying, we've gotten used to certain... shifts over time. But play a 2021 footage to someone who last heard Axl around 2010 or even 2016…
Again, he needs to acknowledge this and adjust the playlist. Some of you suggest tuning down or whatever, but one doesn’t simply… tune down. Even if they did it, something like a half-tone down wouldn’t help him anyway, considering the midrange is gone. What he could do though – beside dropping Better and the likes – is something similar to what he did in You’re Crazy at one of the recent gigs. He used the low voice, then went up but switched back to low at a certain point where normally the high voice (originally rasp, now clean falsetto) would have been. Which sounded ok, no problem with that. The problem is, he can’t do this in songs like SCOM, and like I said, tuning down wouldn’t help. So they only should play the necessary few songs like this one and start alternating and successively phasing out some of the most challenging songs that don’t need to be played (and play them rarely, as a surprise – another advantage of this).
WTTJ, SCOM, PC – always should be played. The utmost staples.
NR, KOHD – will always be played whether we like it or not.
ISE, Mr. B – will always be played, but these ones are the least problematic
ANYTHING from the rest can get alternated. Yes, that includes RQ, YCBM etc. For example, they alternated YCBM with My Michelle in 93 (see Saskatoon), and I don’t remember any articles about how the band lost fans over this change. Same applies to the rest. The trouble is, we are used to the stale playlists and think 80% needs to be played, while that’s just not true. Many bands play like 2 or 3 songs from the back catalogue and the rest has been being added throughout years up to a moment where these new tunes became staples. Guns don’t have that many songs, but since we’re talking about less than half of the concert (there are also covers, jams), I say it’s pretty feasible. I absolutely can do without them butchering YCBM every night. We're talking about just a few songs after all.
The crucial step is breaking the staleness and ending the ever-running NITL routine performed for the casuals.
End of message.Couldn't agree more with what you said! Cheers.

It really depends on the expectations you got...
True. His midrange is completely gone and he has to use that in a lot of songs. And that has nothing to do with proper singing anymore in my opinion. But for some reason, most people accept it the way it is. I think we became sort of used to that singing.
But I agree with everyone about the fact that he's really giving 100% throughout the whole show and I respect that.

Great to have a sign of life from Izzy. Yes, he was always a big Stones fan.

Axl and the whole band looked good and they were on fire all night until Axl had problems with his IEM or something during Madagascar. He told the band to wrap it up with Paradise City at that point. I guess we only missed out on the Seeker and maybe Don’t Cry? Doesn’t matter though, it was a great show even with Axl’s voice issues. You can tell he’s trying his best. And Absurd is actually a lot of fun live! Repeating lyrics is lazy and all, but it got a good reaction from the crowd.
He's trying his best, but still sounds terrible in most songs... And that's the problem.
However, great that they dedicated the song to Charlie Watts.

I hope they will play Locomotive, Pretty Tied Up and Hard School to open the show.

I’d think if they were going to do a blue ray they would use one of the NITL shows because Axl sounded a bit better, the sets were longer, stage bigger, and there was a ton of pyro. All those things would make for a much better blue Ray in my opinion
Only Houston would be listenable.

Hard Skool anyone??
Dream on.
It will take some time until they will play it. Maybe even until next year.
They won't fire all guns at once.

Don't take it personally Tom, but the band might be on fire, but it's the same show for 6 years now with little changes, but it's basically the same.
And then they put out 1 new song, which is just terrible and actually nothing new.
It's a pure cash grab.
I agree, Slash plays very good and Axl seems motivated, but his voice is totally gone.
There's not a single reason for me to buy a ticket for any of their shows next year here in Europe.
Sorry.

Yeah, it was, but for no apparent reason the title of this thread has not been updated nor has a new thread been made about this important album confirmation.
OK, thanks.

Was this comment from Beta already discussed here?
"Too bad that you felt disrespected. I guarantee you 100% that this wasn't the intention; but nevertheless, this song is part of the cd [disc/album]. Enjoy your day".
