Is this just more evidence that Axl really simply doesn't care about certain things (like glory and adoration or attention)? Or more evidence he is pretty sensitive to how stuff he makes is received? Does he think these songs aren't up to snuff or did the ChiDem album reception just make him not care about giving more music to many people who won't appreciate it? Lots of artists write and record songs that never make albums or are ever intended to be released. It’s part of the process. They take the best of the bunch, bunch songs that have a similar sound or theme. or save songs for the future that they want to work on It’s not uncommon to have 18-30 songs and only 10 make the album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bansidhe Posted July 27, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 27, 2019 Bit of a shame that the stars didn't align and Guns were putting stuff (particularly the likes of "Hard School") out at the same time as Velvet Revolver were on the go. Proper rivalry between them. Weiland mouthing off. Axl bringing back the 15 minute rants onstage. Almost like a WWF/WCW rivalry from the 90s. Would have been tremendous fun 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You write a bunch of songs, those that go well together could make a cohesive album, an artistic statement, a document - and then you look into what songs you might be able to pull off live and the ones that might work in a concert or not. And then you also need some gripping easy digestable tunes (aka "hits") to get support and attention. And then you start all over again to make the best record you can possibly make and feel best with. Axl probably went through this a million times. And probably also never got the memo that your work, talent and purpose ain't worth nothing if you don't share it with others. But I understand it has to be acceptable and more than that to yourself first. But hoarding years of musical efforts never to share? That's not being artistic or your own way to go about it, that's just insane. I understand the industry has changed (as everything, and not for the better) and that he must be under a lot of pressure with such a big name and reputation - but at his age, and with all his experience, success and respect from other musicians under his belly he shouldn't give a shit about reception.

Pskihq92 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 22 seconds of hard school kick ass. First bit is same voice as the shirt clip we already heard. Old school voice and catchy riff. I don't mind the drum track. The end is what we heard already but cuts off before the line we've already heard finishes. Definitely better quality than that clip. The version of Atlas I have is very poor quality but it honestly didn't blow me away from what I could hear. Much slower. The first 1/2 wss boring musically to my ear but it git more interesting by the 2/3 a d by the last 10 seconds I wish I could hear more.
