rocknroll41 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 (edited) Eh, I’m not complaining. The song needed a more “proper” music video anyways. Anyone gonna update the discography page on Wikipedia? This video and the one for Absurd are missing from the music video list there.

cineater Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I like it. Kind of has that vibe of Just Like Starting Over but done as Hard Skool style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppelin Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I've shat out better turds. But seriously, why? Lyric videos are shitty to begin with, but who in their right mind said, "Hey, let's drop this lyric video on a random day in December! GNFNRssss!" I can't really comprehend it. I kinda wish this was an elaborate joke and we were getting the real album, with real songs, next Friday or some shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but what I had in mind was more of a cinematic video, like the older GN'R videos, and not just a live performance edited with some backstage scenes.

dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I like this song alot. Very cool and totally GNR style. Saw some of the video on a sports show this morning. So cool someone actually gives a shit about GNR and realize they are still a force to be aware of! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because "skool" is in the title and lyrics and the band's name has "guns" in it along with the logo? Should they have cancelled the concert in Orlando 2 weeks after the Pulse Nightclub shooting?

Lies They Tell Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Based on the comments here I was expecting something terrible. It's really not bad for a lyric video. It's miles better than the original Hard Skool video, if you can even call it a video. If there's not going to be a real music video for this song, this is the next best thing I guess. I get that people are frustrated, but at the end of the day this is better than nothing. We've had a lot of nothing from GnR and I wasn't expecting to hear anything from GNR this year. So this is a positive surprise for me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackstar Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Well, at least we're now sure about the lyrics - the "storm is lifting" line in particular. That's something 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jekylhyde Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 (edited) I don't understand why would a mainstream band want to release a lyric video for a song released two-three months ago, but... uhm... here we are. It's a nice video. I don't dislike it. It is what it is. A low-effort thing. A cool supplement for the new Slash song, I guess...

GNR_RNR Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Glad we've finally got a lyric video even if it is months after the initial release! Hopefully this is the start of a proper media blitz for the EP (honestly sad that the EP misses the Christmas sales period) As for the video itself... not impressed. Photos are cycled through way too fast. Also generally not fan of the plasticky CGI put out by that CreativeWorks team, no idea why they keep using them. Positives from this is it seems GNR and their team understand that they will have to play the media game to get the song higher on the charts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dangelus Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 It’s crazy that a band as massive as GNR can’t promote a single yet Slash’s other band absolutely nails promotion. If only Slash’s team were managing GNR… laughable really! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndiannaRose Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I like the lyric video. It fits the style of the band. Obviously, a real music video would have been much better. Either way, it was released a few months too late for it to make any significant impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
