HS has no real music video. Even videos of songs with fan made music videos get tons more hits than songs without. GNR missed the boat. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wish they had a proper video for “Hard Skool” ready to drop when they released it. My HS vinyl and CD were supposed to get here yesterday, but it’s now delayed till Tuesday. WTF, FedEx?!

Yea, I didn't really follow the lineup with Josh but I like the song Encore, and that one with Elton John was alright. Didn't care for Go Robot or Dark Necessities at all though, and they got lots of radio play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean the one where they realised they accidentally ripped off Elton John and had to give hime a songwriting credit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what a legacy band's "reunion single" should sound like: Classic RHCP sound with modern production. I'm sure this is gonna get tons of airplay over the next few months. Hardschool on the other hand, didn't get much radio play because it sounds exactly like what it is - nuGNR feat. Slash and Duff, all sloppily pasted together. Also probably helps that: 1. they released an actual music video, prominently featuring their very popular returning guitar player. 2. This song didn’t leak 3 years ago. 3. Anthony’s vocal tracks were not recorded during the Californication sessions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only did the song not leak three years ago, but, it didn't exist, as in, 'ya know, it's a new song, as opposed to a "new" one. It's an honest snapshot of where they are in 2022. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have no idea, but I haven't gotten my copy yet either. I'm sure between covid and shipping problems and Texas had an ice storm for 2 days, mine is probably some where but not here. Because of the ice storm, I didn't have a mail delivery for two days. Unreal. 52 minutes ago, RussTCB said: It's doing its very own GN'R tour. lol thanks for making me laugh today! I needed to.

RHCP have 8m views on YT in 3 days. Gnr have 2.8m in 4 months on YT and 900k on the lyric video 2 months ago. For a song FT Axl and Slash that is truly pathetic and embarrassing. Any other management or marketing team would be sacked and never work again. My band has 12,000 views in 2 months on our music videos and we are fucking nobodies with no record deal. To not even get GnRs lyric video to 1 million. dreadful. I don't buy the 'GnR aren't relevant'. They are still selling out stadiums around the world and all other heritage bands are getting waaaay more. So obviously there is a market.

It's an actually cool video, you would rewatch just to see the guys. A proper video and promotion go a long way. Hardskool is actually a good song, it's probably one of the most radio-friendly that they have. But they botched the release, they just put the song out there with a shitty video, and then they randomly followed that with a shitty lyrics video. It wont ever get higher number that way, it doesn't matter who you are. They have the resources, but they are not even trying to have a good release strategy. The funny part is that Axl knows all of this. The NR video trilogy was his baby, and it helped them in being the biggest band in the world at one point.

They also capitalized on the reunion with John by immediately working on a new album and releasing this single, not just going on an endless tour. If GnR had done this (along with a proper video etc) they might've gotten more views. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
