Most likely Tommy on bass, Robin and/or Paul T on lead guitar, perhaps Bucket towards the end, Josh or Brain on drums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top-Hatted One Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 This song with Izzy & Adler would be gnr. Right now it’s VR with Axl which isn’t a terrible thing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're gonna have a hit You gotta make it fit So they cut it down to 3:05 "The Entertainer" Billy Joel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top-Hatted One Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Well they got rid of the long drawn out unnecessary intro right? So makes sense it be shorter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulMonster Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I talked to someone close to Axl and apparently the song was never intended on the soundtrack to a Jackie Chan movie. The working title, Jackie Chan, was chosen simply because Axl was watching a Jackie Chan movie at the time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Mini Mite Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 13 minutes ago, Iron MikeyJ said: One thing to keep in mind, is how much the music scene has changed since the 90's. When we talk about bands like Guns, their "B" songs would be "hits" in today's climate. That's why bands like Greta Van Fleet even exist, the competition for "old Skool" rock and roll isn't NEARLY as competitive as it was in 90's, let alone before then. Had Greta been a 70's band, they probably wouldn't even get signed. So a song that really rocks, getting released today is a pretty big deal (regardless of the band) imo. Which I'm sorry but an Illusion "B side" (which is where I would rank Hard Skool), is GREAT in 2021. I'm digging it. Yeah, people shouldn't compare these singles with appetite or Uyi... It's obviously we can't expect that, an lp full of hits, great choruses and solos, innovation in terms of music, memorable lyrics, etc. I just want the band to deliver a good rock album, I'm happy with a 3 star rated album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Use Your Delusion 1 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 its okay, much prefer the better Chinese Democracy songs. As an aside, ts strange, on spotify the song that comes after Hard Skool is always from the Use Your Illusion albums, man those are so underrated by the public its nuts!

--DEA-- Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 (edited) I think I need to do a repost.. 😉 Remember if this not was a stolen, sold and leaked song this would be a fresh and new song to everyone 😉 It's a new song for all the people outside this little community. No one complained when Don't Cry were released years after it was made 😊 just my thoughts. Bury the old demos and just enjoy this moment. But as usual everything need to be negative about this band. God will they ever do something right? The release a song.. And people just.. When is the next song coming? It should be Izzy.. The mixing is terrible.. Everything is wrong.. But I know for sure that I love this song and I don't care if it's old. I love this band and support them. And no one have the rights to demand anything from them. If you dont like it its pretty easy... 😉 Edited 23 hours ago by --DEA-- Edited September 24, 2021 by --DEA-- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangit Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 This is a great song. I just listened to it in the car then YCBM came on, Hard Skool holds up and didn't feel out of place. Unlike oddballs like Absurd. This track is like Better. A good solid catchy rocker, ideal for a single. I'm still amazed to this day that Better wasn't the first single of CD. Anyway.... Also, worth noting that its so rare for a GNR track to be almost universally liked by this community.... cheers to that, something must be right!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AkTuAlLy iTz nOt A NeW SoNg People expecting an all new album warm my heart. With all that said, I hate the drums and the mix. The mix is still better than the demo (for obvious reasons), but the drums are much better in the demo. The song had that vibe that is lost in the new version. I wish that Duff’s bass and backing vocals would be more audible. Edited September 24, 2021 by GNRfanMILO 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree with you , no one have rights to demand anything from them... And they don't owe us anything. Like anyone can demand from fans and fans don't owe any band or artist, full support. Fans as artists are entitled to their opinions and their likes... It's a two way street... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute travesty that that man hasn’t given more to music based on his level of songwriting talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOUCOULDBEMINE. Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 So does this mean we're getting everything that leaked from the "Zutaut lockers". If so I want Oklahoma with vocals. That song is the most GN'R sounding instrumental since the 90's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
