RussTCB Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I need to do some actual work for my job so I'm gonna check out but if you can't tell the vocals on the last verse are different from the demo, I don't know what to tell you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Listening to it now for the 2nd time... sounds good, I hope they play it tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post THELINESMAN Posted September 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 23, 2021 Slash and Duff have improved this song loads IMO and made it sound like 'proper/actual' Guns N' Roses. Them three together are magic. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wanted to make it clear that it appears this song is being officially released on the 24th. -------------------- The song sounds like it came from and AFD session, with the guitar breakdown coming from the UYI era. Great song. Love the opening base line. Chorus vocals sound great. Hopefully they break it out tonight in Columbus. Pretty much what I was going to write. Great little bass intro, vocals are fantastic, and yeah that guitar breakdown from like the two minute mark for 45 seconds is very UYI. Chills out a bit, like Locomotive outro or something? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GNRfanJen Posted September 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 23, 2021 I almost can’t believe this is even real. After all this time…we FINALLY got Hard Skool. I never gave up hope on this song being released and/or being played live and here we are today. WE MADE IT. I know there are lots of different opinions on the track, but let’s enjoy this moment! We deserve it. 3 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamillos Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Fuck yeah! Shit is happening! "Absurd" was jerking off, this is real sex. Still NOT a new song, but... FINALLY SOME PROPER FUCKING SINGLE, YOU DICKS!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoundOfAGun Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Sounding pretty good! Only heard it on that BitTube site so will not comment on mix etc. Will be interesting to hear how Axl does the chorus vocals live... The "more of a man" in the second verse sounds less raspy than the demo to my ears (admittedly, I haven't heard that version for a year or so) could he have recorded new verse vocals? Chorus is clearly the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merces Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Is it me or does the vocal sound very thin and"out of place" it sounds like Axl is standing in a bathroom, compared to the rest of the production 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, some bluesy-twangy southern rock we haven't really heard from Guns since the UYI era. I really missed the sound that's included in this track. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnR Chris Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Duff vocals are indeed there. But very very low. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I fucking love it. New “bones” (drums) makes me think there’s another more final version that was for CD2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metallex78 Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Well, where is my hat, that I should probably eat right now…? Just listened through and I think I dig it. It still sounds like a lot is going on in the song, that I can’t make out, but I like it way more than Absurd. Who would’ve thought, two new GN’R songs actually released in 2021? Edit. On second listen I can hear lots of soloing going on throughout the song. Is that Fortus shredding on the left side opposite Slash on the right side in parts too? Overall, I think it’s pretty damn great. Axl sounds great throughout, though I’m not sure he could pull this off live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
