Guess I misunderstood what was being said. There could be. Just not sure if it was completely clear as there was a lot of joking around and cross posts. He did say he would be back I think so maybe he'll confirm exactly what was meant. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 As with all things GN'R, I'll be happy to be wrong. I'd love for there to be an HS single on the way, physical or otherwise. I just think that if people read the thread for themselves, they'll see its not exactly cut and dried. On a side note, Fernando did say he'd try to stop back by later. So maybe hell clarify then?

SoulMonster Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 The joking was in regards to the signature. When discussing the video etc, that was in regards to Hard Skool. Unless Fernando lost the plot in the exchange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlRoseCDII Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I get with GNR anything can happen. Looking at the posts I seriously think it was referring to HS. The exchange between the two contained quotes and stemmed from talking about HS. I know that with this band anything can happen, so I do hope Fernando comes back and clarifies exactly what he meant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could have been talking about Absurd. The way the thread reads is a little messy. That's why it's better for people to just read that thread instead of a misleading version of it. The first exchange was actually: Stayofexecution: "Put up some great promo for hard skool and I'll change it. Promise." Fernandos reply: "Could we vote on what it could be? " Fernando meant his signature with that, BUT in the exchange that we just talked about, which came after the reply for hard skool, he answers it, it would make 0 sense for the reply then to be about Absurd.

Completely agree. That's how I'm reading it as well. Absurd wasn't mentioned anywhere. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 (edited) Ummm, wouldn't you guys want the first official video/single to be something way better than 'Hard School?' I mean, it's kinda good, but that's all. Assuming Axl doesn't overproduce the shit out of it, I'm sure Slash and Duff's contributions will make it, like, 30% better but STILL. I don't know what to expect. I just don't want old ass material (that differs significantly from classic GNR) getting pushed out there.

novemberparadise23 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 The fact that Fernando is on here is good news in my mind….. means they are busy and hopefully up to some planning. I take it as good news but maybe I am just being overly optimistic 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope everyone doesn't take everything said so far today as fact because we know that's never a good plan in GN'R world. Personally, I'm just excited that any vinyl is on the way.

Hell......I'm not even mad he said "vinyls" lol I understand being skeptical. I'll respect your opinions like you do ours. From my perspective, this looks like a more serious confirmation than anything before, which is why I lack being skeptical about what was referred to. Again, I hope Fernando chooses to confirm some things so we don't end up having an 100 page discussion about something that could've meant nothing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick85 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 So what's the confusion? That the vinyl/physical release he was referring to was not necessarily for "Hard Skool" but an album? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm seriously interested in this. If there's money to be made, it'll get rreleaed on that format. And there's a lot of money to be made in cassettes right now. I have zero interest in them myself, but they're made a big comeback. So if a GN'R alvum is coming in the next year, I'd make a strong bet it'll get a cassette release. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick85 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 "yes, yes, and maybe?" is perhaps the most on-brand @Fernando answer...maybe ever. Dude. Don't leave us hanging like that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlRoseCDII Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I don't even think it was his intention to be vague lmao. I maintain it feels more like a confirmation than some are giving it credit for. But I'm also possibly just fucking stupid 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
