Wonder if the Hard Skool ‘EP’ will be available to purchase from other music retailers or just thru the GnR store?

Looking like just from GNR store atm. Plenty of time for something else to be announced though I guess.

[Nick85]

It’d be a bummer if these two tracks were merely testing the interest in “new” GNR music. Means it can go heavily in one way or the other for however long. 

[dressedtokill]

if they were going to release only two songs, they would not have chosen Absurd. honestly if they are only going to release two songs Absurd is the last option. it's impossible for these music monsters to choose Absurd over the rest of the material. I think they go from low to high and they don't publish the full album because today it is better to release single songs. Axl sure didn't rework new songs, he made the rest of the unreleased songs available and Duff and Slash worked on that. sorry for my english, i'm using a translator. Even though my English is bad, I didn't want to stop giving my point of view

Why would it be distracting, if GnR and Slash would release a new records at nearly the same time?

1. A lot of people don't give a shit about Slash's solo stuff. The record won't be serious competition.

2. Both records could benefit from being released close to each other. It would even be a kind of promotion for the Guns record, since Axl usually doesn't do promotion.

1. It would be distracting because you would have a normally functioning band like SMKC releasing singles, releasing music videos, playing live on talk shows, doing interviews on various media platforms (Electronic and Print), while the interviewer would be saying "So how was it back in the studio with Axl Rose after many decades". "Did you and Axl get along well?" "Would Axl turn up to the studio on time to record?" "Did you have many disagreements with the type of input you were able to have on the songs that were already actually written ten years ago" "What the fuck is up with that song Absurd? Did you have to see a Psychologist to get over actually being a part of that abomination?"

All the while Slash is going " It was great working with Myles again, and"  Interviewer "What about Steven? is he coming back in to the band?"

I think you answered your own question directed at me with your point 1. 

And I reinforced the ridiculousness of it all by expanding on your point 2.

the realistic answer from slash is "all things considered, absurd this and hardskool that"

There is an obvious reason they all give deliberately vague answers.  Rose doesn't write/record, they all know this, they are terrified to push the issue in case he retreats again, so they all just stutter,lie or give vague answers which are open for interpretation when asked about new releases.

Fernando has been asked over and over again if there will be a new album, best he's said recently is 'new releases are starting to be slotted' which likely meant HardSkool CD.

Slash said something like "all things considered, at the end of the day, I think the intent is to do an album, we just don't know how to release it"

Slash when asked recently about an album with Miles -  "yes, we've got 20 new songs, going into studio soon to record and it will be out shortly after"

 

They give these vague answers because there is nothing to release.

I'm sure if they interviewed Pele he'd say "all things considered, 99 vocals this and KOHD 99 vocals that"

I love the phrase 'all things considered'. I don't thing I've ever heard it used anywhere apart from in GNR interviews! 

A bit less considering of all things and a little more doing of all things definitely wouldn't go amiss!

Is there an updated version of this? I see it's only up to 2010. We should start calling slash, Saul "All things considered" Hudson

Not yet, but I suppose it will be updated when the database is updated with more articles after 2010 and @SoulMonster includes them to the a-4-d.com history section.

There is even an unreleased Slash song from the Snakepit 2 era titled "All Things Considered":

Slash: It’s sort of a Cinderella story. I met all the guys at gigs. I met Rod Jackson and he put a lyric on a tape of mine, a song not on the album called ‘All Things Considered’.

All cautions made 
All things consideeeeered 

You know, that was the original lyrics, which Slash wrote, but then Axl changed it, they bickered about it, and that's why they finally broke up. More info in Dizzy's upcoming autobiography. 

[Mikey Whipwreck]

Best case scenario seems to be a new album next fall, comprised of "CDII" vocal tracks with instrumentals reworked by Slash and Duff. 

The hype of the reunion has worn off and the returns are diminishing so they'll have to do something to drum up interest before they play some of these markets again. 

Axl might as well have just dropped CDII in 2016 and used the reunion to promote it. Slash and Duff would've gone along with it for the payday (as evidenced by their willingness to play so many CD songs).

Here’s one to twist your melons….maybe Slash is releasing his album in February cos GnR is releasing an album next month 😳

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

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

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

It’s either a great idea for Slash to drop a record 3-4 months after a surprise GNR album or a terrible one. Don’t think there’s a middle ground. All I got.

It's not going to matter either way, his fans will still listen to his record and go to his shows, regardless of a new GnR album or not.

Agreed. When Slash comes to Winnipeg he plays a little theatre with a capacity of 1600 people. Him and band appear to have a hell of a time too.
