Like most things with this band, we'll probably find out 24 hours before it's supposed to come out if it's real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumfarce Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I saw every North American tour nu-Guns did. Have hung with Bumble and Tommy many a time, I was a very earnest supporter of Axl's vision. This is ridiculous what he's doing at this point. The bastardization is too fucking painful. He should've kept all that stuff very separate and found the nerve to compose with the boys. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a little tongue in cheek which shows the band, and I mean the song has "Skool" in the title. They don't seem to be trying to be overly serious which is nice. It's fun and will be a funny thing live. Yeah, I’m just excited there’s an actual new song like this and I really do like it as a kickass rocker with a cool chorus. There’s a little gnawing feeling like the title and imagery is quite cringey (especially for someone like Axl who is very close to 60) but hopefully it’s meant as a joke and people take it that way. I’d prefer less jokey stuff like this and Absurd but I’ll take what we get at this juncture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever since he left, it sure seems like they have a hard time creating new music without him. I know all of this. I know all of Izzy's solo material. I know an Izzy song when I hear one. "Seems to Me" by him is one of my favorite songs of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkarmy Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 After back to back repeated listens and trying to get excited I like duffs bass intro thing but it’s just same ol tired slash wankery on a 20 year old song that was ready 20 years ago and better. but until these guys get in a room and want to actually inspire each other again I guess this is as good as we get silkworms was best 2001 rio hard skool was better put out 20 years ago i like it only because my old iPod and iTunes don’t communicate and I have no way to get the village demos on my phone otherwise wasted a night hoping like a normal band they’d play their new single these guys are morons but I love them and that’s on me hard school lessons over and over lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 (edited) Someone needs to do a remix/mashup where the breakdown part with the 'hey hey' vocals turns into Eye On You.

SoulMonster Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 It's obvious the band takes the band a whole lot less seriously than many fans, so yes, release Eye On You! I fucking love that song even if it is bonkers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6lake sa66ath Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 It's bangin'... But I can't see how Axl will perform it, unless it's final show ever and he dies singing it as the last song encore 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fucking love that song even if it is bonkers. I think you're dead on here. I really do think the band takes this wayyyyyy less serious then all of us do. And they should! It's cliché to say it, but it's only rock & roll. I get that stuff like Coma and Estranged are E P I C but not everything had to be that. There needs to be room for some fun. If nothing else, the release of Absurd was the most *FUN* I've had involving GN'R in years and years. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicDwolfwood Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Finally got to listen to it a couple times. It's not bad...but it isn't great either, maybe it will grow on me some. It has a catchy chorus, I dig the bass intro to it and Slash's slide solo is real nice. But it doesn't move the needle for some reason. I am glad they put it out though, I mean fucking hell after going on over 5 years since they reunited the fact we've gotten 2 songs out of them this calender year feels like a monumental Win, even if its largely re-worked, pieced together songs that are 20 years old.

This goes back to my last thread about GNR being serious post-breakup, these two tracks are just fun, non-epic rock songs and especially in 2021 I can use more of that! I dig both Absurd and Hard Skool 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surforia Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I like it a lot. I like some parts of the demo better but whatever. It’s still new music and it’s a cool banger to blast in the car with an old school gn’r vibe. As others have mentioned, the beginning of the song is definitely the end of a prior song, so that stupid tracklist from me the GNFNR EP wad total BS (thank God).

Fans forget about all the joke songs and quick little non serious songs the band has recorded previously. GN'Rs just wanna have fun. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerInThisTown Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 It grew on me a bit. But I still find it loses compared to UYI rockers like Shotgun Blues or even TSI cuts like Hair Of The Dog. Not sure what, but I'm thinking a lot has to do with the mix. The leak was mixed a lot more "sturdy" sounding 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be cutting proper recordings, as a band, showing the weak-kneed fools of the age how it's done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't, so they are scraping together the last of what he did and the people here are falling for it. They have literally pasted a scream from 'Eye On You' into the middle of this. We'll get the 'woo woo' from Quick Song pasted into Atlas next lol Well... so what?! Surely that is their issue to deal with! If this is all they have, then fair enough, that's it. I cannot understand why you appear to be so bothered about this when I assume it has little to zero impact on the day to day running of your life! For what it is worth (and it ain't worth much I can assure you), I likely agree with you on a few points - I don't think there is a huge vault of completed unreleased material but more a load of jams. But this assumption (and I stress assumption) is based on the lack of released material and that the band have just released two reworked already known songs. I could be wrong and I am open to that possibility. Second point I agree with you on is this copy and paste approach to recording... it sucks big time! But you know what... fuck it who cares. I don't very often listen to Chinese Democracy because on the whole (but not totally) I think it is crap! Maybe focus on other bands would be my suggestion. Peace oot!
