Pele Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 16 hours ago, StrangerInThisTown said: You think Axl would want the band to rework a song he doesn't like, and then release it as a single? ..just no Yes. I think that is more than preferable over actually writing/recording a new song. IMO - it was either HardSkool or Perhaps, but he got nervous and changed it to Silkworms with the perfect excuse of 'it's obviously just a bit of fun' - which he actually used when people rightfully pointed out it was terrible. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walapino Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 If the fan backstage and tik tok videos and stories on IG are part of a "buzz" then it makes sense for them to release the single at the end of the tour and promotite afterwards. We have 6 shows to go, lets wait and see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice contingency there. 😳 Yeah I feel the same. Also I wonder how it’s gonna work after they released it or played live for the first time.. will they only play it every third or fourth show when Axl feels ready to sing it?

I’ve been wondering this as well. Will they be expected to play it live at every show from now on once it’s out? Can Axl even pull that off? Maybe they plan to release it near the very end of this tour, play it at the two Hollywood FL shows, and then hope everyone forgets it by the time they return in June 2022.

BlueJean Baby Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Keith Roth on Sirius XM Hair Nation just said GNR will be releasing their next single, Hard Skool soon. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like he's just repeating what Axl told that girl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rumandraisin Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 I genuinely dont know about Hard Skool coming out soon. It's too hard to even guess, look at the Absurd week. Just really came from nowhere over a few days. There's no way of guessing. Knowing them it'll probably be a new version of OMG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlRoseCDII Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 As much as I want to believe in HS this week, I bet it’s just because they read what’s floating around on google and not because they were actually sent or know anything. Im not letting Lucy trick me with that football again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klakly Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 I will see them in Italy next July, but I have to admit that I hope to have HS before that concert. Maybe it might make sense to play it in Florida, release it and get the new album out before the European leg. It would create a fair amount of hype even now about those shows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DPR714 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Thought I would throw a scenario out there. Maybe they play it St Paul tomorrow night. Their last show was in Milwaukee and that was an outdoor show. It's a 5 hour drive from Milwaukee to the Twin Cites. Del posted a photo that was tagged Minneapolis, MN yesterday on Instagram. I would be pretty convinced they are all already in town. With the show at the Xcel Energy Center on Tuesday, they could rehearse the song with Axl singing without too much worry that it would be recorded and sent out on the internet --with Axl singing. With 3 days in the Twin Cites before the show maybe this gives them that opportunity to actually fully (w/Axl) rehearse the song without too much "interference," or worry that its leaked. Personally what they should do is just rehearse the song anywhere and run everything strictly through IEM's. The drums would be the only thing that would be heard to anyone NOT wearing the IEM's. One of my bands used to rehearse that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when a lot of fans have already heard previous iterations of the same bloody track. Possibly they are still finalising the subbass and tambourine mixes! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He plays you could be mine every night. They did coma for 4 years straight, after saying in his prime it was too hard to sing. He's not not singing it because he doesn't think he can pull it off. I don't know the reason it's not been played yet, but it's clearly nothing to do with axl worrying about singing it live. Half the GnR catalogue are tougher to sing. and he's shown he has no issue singing it mickey style if need be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like getting blood from a stone getting a 'new' song from this band. When you actually sit back and think about the discussion and drama around it, compared to virtually every other band on the planet, it's even more crackers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved it when Slash said something along the lines of: we're just working out how to release an album. Perhaps get Axl to focus on working out how not to have most it of leaked beforehand! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinb33 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 The ridiculous thing about it is that it's not even a great song. It's not like we're waiting to hear the new November Rain.

I think it has potential to be a great song but nothing is worth this level of fuss/hype/build up. Part of the mistake they made with Chinese was letting the hype build up to such levels where nothing they delivered could ever live up to expectations. It seems Axl's not learned from his mistakes. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
