We love Axl Rose Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 1 minute ago, youngswedishvinyl said: I’m not quite sure I agree, maybe the last part of the song but overall I thought it was a decent performance representative for the last couple of years touring! Very good for today's standard. But there were also better performances towards the end of the tour. I think this performance is from the middle of the tour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh I haven't listen to the performance more than twice but I remember a moment where Axl is really off. Not saying he's off key the whole song but that moment was embarrassing. Don't Cry is decent though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledge Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Have people in Australia got theirs? I was so damn sure I ordered it but can't find a record of it in my email. If enough have I'll consider it a snafu and reorder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweersa Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 I like Slash's guitar tone in this live version of You're Crazy. Axl sounds OK (from that era) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Live Like a Suicide Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Anyone know where us plebs who didn't buy the EP can listen to the live tracks online? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, whether any studio dubs were added? There is a GNR Live Era thread that listed every performance and studio tweak for each song. Any GNR sleuthers still around? Did this ever get clarified…..I was sure it was but it might have been on another thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssiscool Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Apologies if this has been covered but do we know who preformed on the track that was released? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackparker123 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 I've noticed the Hard Skool Nightrain membership vinyls are finally arriving with people. Newsflash, it's a 7" single, despite it appearing to be a 12" on the website, in photos at least. What a shambles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Comstock Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Wow, I've only heard a rip of the Nightrain exclusive vinyl, but SOYL is not very good. It's not terrible, but there's definitely been better performances of it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimisbatman Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 On 2/27/2022 at 2:10 AM, Twinaleblood said: Honestly, I don't think the real problem is the cut and paste approach. Chinese Democracy had layers and layers of cut and paste from different sessions, different musicians and different producers, yet sound wise is not bad at all considering how it was produced. What makes a very big difference is the mastering, as they went for full dynamics on CD while they are using a lot of compression on HS and Absurd. From previous articles and reports, it was said that a loud, compressed mix of CD was also proposed by Bob Ludwig to Axl, but Axl liked the full dynamics version more and decided to go with it. Ludwig explained it himself in this old article here: https://web.archive.org/web/20090131045144/http://www.gatewaymastering.com/gateway_LoudnessWars.asp Regarding why HS and Absurd sound quite bad, Ludwig himself seems to offer a possible explanation in hindsight through that same article: Looks like the compression used for HS and Absurd triggered exactly what Ludwig described here. I can't help but wonder what spurred Axl to change his mind about this and go for such a u-turn. Agree with everything here and my thoughts precisely. Well said too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
star Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 I decided to pick up the Vinyl of Hard Skool Thinking about it, the last time i picked up a Vinyl was of Chinese Democracy I listen to Hard Skool on YouTube. Will probably leave Hard Skool Vinyl under wraps! For the record, i do own a record player 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sploit Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Finally got myself a copy of the Hard Skool EP. (Had the ABSURD and Hard Skool singles digitally, but wanted a physical release, with the extra tracks.) Initially I have gone for the recently released SHM-CD from Japan. It's awesome, it has a little lyrics booklet inside (lyrics in both Japanese and English). 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
