koldweather Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 1 hour ago, jafeijo said: The problem with HardSchool is really the middle range that Axl had in the early 2000's, in that period he would went really smooth from chest voice to head voice. Nowadays there's such a big gap between the two voices and his 'chest voice' has diminished considerably, you can check the Mexico 2020 soundcheck when Axl tried to go for it and his voice broke big time. For him it will be definitely one of the toughest themes on the catalogue. The screaming chorus might be the easiest part, I mean, he goes fine with Shadow of Love and that's basically the same range, the problem is the verse melody. He could probably use the vocal style he uses for the chorus of your crazy (esp the 2nd one) these days, maybe just clip into the light head voice for the highest notes of the verse. It may not quite reach the same note but itd be more comfortable and project better, then switch into the shadow voice as you say. Given this seems to be getting much better reviews than absurd I can't imagine axl won't play it, and the band 100% are ready and want given they sound check it. Given it was sound checked with coma yesterday and how it keeps getting sound checked suggests it's not far away now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Jungle83 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 OK so I'll quickly add my two penneth in here. I just saw a YouTube video of Madagascar and Don't Cry from this show, and maybe I'm easily impressed, but I thought Axl sounded as good as he has in a long time! Certainly compared to earlier shows on this tour, was the rest of the show up to the same standard? Glasgow Green cannot come quick enough as far as I'm concerned! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaskingApathy Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 3 hours ago, sofine11 said: I think the logic (assuming logic is involved somewhere) Axl wanted the first impression to be the studio version. That's really the only thing I can chalk it up to. That's what I'm thinking too, seems to make the most sense. 2 hours ago, downzy said: Maybe you’re right. Why that doesn’t make any sense to me is they didn’t take that approach with Absurd AND the studio version of Hard Skool was already out there (both officially and unofficially depending where in the world you live). I was listening to it yesterday morning. They know that only us crazy people on the forum are listening to it before it's officially out, for the general public it's not, so I can see why they would rather wait and let people hear the recording first then play it live after. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope that this time he will prepare for the 2022 tour. Hershey is proof that Axl did not prepare for this tour at all, with the preparation I believe that Axl may be able to reach the 2016 level again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I think doesn't help is to release a song whereby press the next day notes that it hasn't been played live yet and wasn't played the night before release. Doesn't instil a lot of confidence.

ChristianGNR Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 What an amazing Madagascar!! Also, don't know with it has something to do with indoor acoustics, but there's something different in Axl's voice, like an enhanced reverb or something like that. I remember hearing those effects in the 2010 tour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siraddam Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 I know it's a bit left field, but isn't colombus Ohio the place where the school shooting happened? It might not be the best taste to debut a song called Hard Skool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard Skool is not about schools goddamn it people, it's a saying exactly the same way "old school" is, that one doesn't mean literal schools either Also you're talking about a guy who wore Charles Manson shirts frequently, not exactly the best taste either Edited September 25, 2021 by StrangerInThisTown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, the thought is too far-fetched, even more so since the song has nothing to do with schools Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it’s an odd phrase because what he is saying/meaning is more commonly referred to as “hardcore.” No idea why he instead used hard school which is not a normal term and sorta cringey but here we are.

"Hardschool"/"hard-school" is a very uncommon, yet existing word/phrase. The meaning is not exactly "hardcore," it's something like a composite of "hardcore" and "old school," as in someone/something being/acting tough in an old-fashioned way. Also "hardcore" doesn't rhyme with "cool" and "fool" Edited September 25, 2021 by Blackstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also "hardcore" doesn't rhyme with "cool" and "fool" Ha I get the rhyming aspect but hard school isn’t really an existing (yet uncommon) phrase. I literally have never heard it used like this before this song. I’m open to being wrong but I’m 36 years old and have lived or spent considerable time in most regions of the US and have never came across it. IMO he’s using it in the same sense that Lady Gaga uses Hardcore in this short scene: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
