Unless they're soundchecking a song in a key they're not planning to play it in - and I don't know why they'd do that considering Axl has soundchecked it in D# and Duff and Melissa have ran backing vocals in soundcheck as well. What tuning was the original Village leaks demo? Is the soundcheck in a different key? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live Like a Suicide Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 If you want to believe Guns N' Roses News on Facebook, Hardshool was originally meant to fall where Absurd did on the release schedule, but was delayed because more work needed to be done on it. This apparently meant Absurd was the replacement for the first single and performance. Take from that what you will, lol. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And where was this knowledge prior to Absurd's release? lol Doesn't make sense to change the plan like this when they were rehearsing Hard School a week before they debuted Absurd.

I really do like everything about it. To me it's raw and straightforward rock that sounds like it would fit on like Live Like a Suicide more than any other album. Before this if anybody asked me what I hoped the first single from Axl, Slash and Duff would be after all this time I'd want it to be a loud angry song. It checks all my boxes 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlRoseCDII Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 If it’s to believed that HS got pushed back for whatever reason, I think that’s further backing the idea of a new album if they just had something polished and in the works that could replace it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitchisback Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I wonder what the plan would have been if covid never happened and the original 2020 tour took place. Would absurd have been played/released? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by Fernanado's comments about "Vinyl, release, etc.", I'm inclined to believe that Hardschool was being soundchecked last year and being prepared as the lead single; being it sounds more like "GN'R". I think the promotion was delayed due to COVID. I read his comments as promotion was being done for Hardschool, hence they didn't want to waste the opportunity on half filled, COVID restricted stadiums. Enter Absurd as a replacement for something new to draw people but they didn't want to waste the promotion for Hardschool with so much other news in the world. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More work needed to be done on it.......... what have they been doing since 2016? And, is this a case where they tinker with it so much, and suck the heart and soul out of the recording like they did with CD (compared with the demo's). Hope this information is via an "insider" and turns out to be untrue 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Slash and Duff breathed some life into Absurd, maybe they can do the same for other CD era songs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlRoseCDII Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I thought Absurd was kinda whatever before Slash and Duff touched it. I think they made it a really damn good rocker. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LlamaRenegade Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Do we know who made the artwork for Absurd? Not that it’s anything special, just curious who the artist is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betterman Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Looking at the GNR news right now, is it a reliable source?? They are ready to release Hard School, it sounds like imminent - like maybe tonight!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
