I imagine they would cut the orchestral intro from the LP release. So could be around 7 mins in total. 

I’m in Slovakia and I get none of the GNR titles, nor the new Queen song, for what’s it worth 

I tried a VPN set to US and they all show up as expected. 

How does Linkfire work with whole album drops? I presume the link would contain just the album name, if no singles are released?

Welp, absolutely nothing on Apple Music… would there be any reason why this conspiracy is exclusive to one streaming platform and not the other?

 

Different search engines. I mean, for what it’s worth, this Spotify thing may well be some kind of bug (i.e. working with unreleased tracks).

It's the other way around. It's Hard Skool that didn't get a 24bit release, Absurd did.

Is that so? I always found it baffling how different they sound, mixing/mastering wise. 

WE NOW BELIEVE EVEN MORE! THANK YOU SPOTIFY BY TAKE CARE OF US!

(can’t believe no one made this joke yet )

If Axl recorded an album with AC/DC, the vocal tracks would have been recorded in 1999.

Axl would invent time travel just so he could use some '99 vocals

Not sure Axl could easily sing those screams live. Those are pretty high pitched. 

The thing is that the main riff is played first by Slash for a couple of bars, Richard joins it later. And sure he could be very specific about the guitar he wants to play it, but it wouldn't be reasonable IMO. I mean, he could literally chose at least a dozen guitars with killswitch for this song. He uses one for Chinese Democracy (albeit in different tuning, it's drop D on E standard), even though it's really not as crucial as the opening riff in Absurd. 

Yeah as I said, there can be a million reasons why they would want to perform something certain way, we simply don't know. Even though it's fun to speculate!

I'm glad that he's on both Absurd and HS though. Would be a shame if they didn't utilize two guitar players in studio and just let Slash play everything.

If it's Richard on Absurd's intro, why wouldn't he play it live? 

I mean, of course he could play it, it's very simple. 

I mean, why has Axl sampled his hiyaaaahs during Absurd? He could easily sing them live if he wanted, so who knows.

Maybe it's more convenient to go straight to the main riff, or he doesn't have a kill switch on the guitar he wants to use?

Slash is doing trills over Bucketheads "nubbing" (that atonal tapping thing he does)

Couldn't that be Fortus? Same thing for the kill switch intro

Is Slash’s album still slated for Feb??
 

 

 

We need to go deeper. What if Slash's album is not really Slash's album and it's actually a new Guns record 

And come February they'll start touring as SMKC with Axl wearing a Myles Kennedy wig

EDIT: The phrase is also found 28 times in Slash's autobiography

A lot of thing must've been considered for those posts!

But seriously, I can't believe you guys made that, it's amazing

The new title for this thread doesn't exactly roll off the tongue! 

I'm flattered!

Someone pointed on livestream's chat that they used "OMG" Lyrics video for You Could Be Mine?? I'm lost 

I think parts of OMG lyrics are in the visuals for YCBM, it's been that way since the beginning of this tour.

Lol. This Forum rules. Half say it was awesome,half say Axl sucked. I'm more curious to know the live crowds reaction. Obviously they are there for the classics but the song is out so did anyone care or did it go over like a fart in church?

I think the crowd cheered the moment he said 'lower education' 

By the way what were those graphics, it looked like a PS2 videogame wtf 

Now for some GNR math: How many Hardskools can you fit into one Rocket Queen?

I get that the vinyl is gonna be delayed to next year, but why ship the CD and cassette in February? Are those plants backlogged too?

And the other merch is coming November 12th... which is coincidentally a Friday... *reaches for some tinfoil* 

So Hard Skool has official merch now? And I'm sitting here still waiting for that Absurd medusa tee 

I'd bet OMG has been reworked too, didn't they soundcheck a slightly different version in like 2012 or something? And Axl always said the 1999 release was basically still a demo.

Maybe they were planning for OMG to be the first reunion single way back in 2018 when it appeared on the setlist, and then decided for HS once the Village leak happened. Who knows? But I fully expect reworked OMG to appear on any future full length release.
