star Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I wanted to think that Axl, Slash, Duff, and the rest of'em would enter a studio and record 100% new music. I guess before that happens, assuming it ever happens, Axl will insist on re visiting all the CD stuff that never made it to completion. These guy's aren't getting any younger, so i guess that plays a part. From a guitar stand point, Slash was putting out better stuff with Myles Kennedy, compared to covering/re_working Absurd, Hard Skool .. all the same, atleast new stuff is getting released 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is great news since we already own those songs and they shouldn't try to replicate them. They didn't need to replicate the songs but they can make an honest effort to replicate the quality...

Ak1nney Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 If you play the rockers from Chinese Democracy, then follow it up with Hard Skool, man... Hard Skool is a heavy fucking hitter. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is saying the song quality is nowhere near as good.. Is a song named "hard skool" with a high school locker logo and more and more fitting for a bunch of 60 year old guys? lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard Skool is a heavy fucking hitter. That's kinda what I'm saying. Let's go down memory lane, lol... I remember buying Oh My God the day it dropped, and being SO HAPPY, because it was the first Guns n' Roses song since Sympathy for the Devil in early 94. Having said that (while I enjoy OMG for what it is), if I'm honest it's NOT what I wanted from guns n roses, I wanted Axl and Slash, rocking out. Having said that, I STILL called my local radio station and requested OMG for days. Around the same time, I downloaded Ain't going down for the first time (back in the early days of downloading, in an old man now, lol). Anyways, Ain't going down WAS exactly what I wanted from a guns song, I SO wished it got proper lyrics and finished. Long story short, Hard Skool reminds me of Ain't going down, but better honestly (ain't going down was not a finished song). So, for me, hard Skool is the first REAL sounding guns song since ain't going down (which was only on a pinball machine). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah.... i mean, that's one of weird ones I'll never get my head around! Of all the songs, why the hell would they pick silkworms to release. It's been crap since 2001. 😂 Even the slash/duff treatment can't do anything for it. Hard Skool however is spot on. 👍👌 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknroll41 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Damn the studio version has really grown on me now! I think it’s safe to say I like this tune more than Absurd, at this point. I really hope we get more, but my gut feeling is that we won’t :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, be honest, this is no paradisce city, night train, jungle, etc etc etc. I think being honest and getting away from the relief and excitement of more official music....It is a 6/10 song, there are some cool parts but I also said that about the demo. Vocal melody was bland on the demo and it's the same now, chorus is decent but it's kinda like a pre chorus yet the song never really goes to that next gear, instead they slowed the song down?? I mean if there's a slow section then there needs to get some sort of melodic pull... and Slash's solo is quite poor. I get the restrained thing, but it doesn't work here especially when you have the drums playing as heavy as it gets underneath. In my opinion one of Slash's most underwhelming solos. Don't care that the vocals are 21yrs old. Think the mix is fine, not as good as CD and in general the song is grand but they could have easily made something far greater. Hopefully the next songs aren't perhaps or Atlas, gnr need a 10/10 killer next. I am starting to get worried for the rest of the album... I'm also kinda hoping that now this is just a stop gap ep 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
