I legitimately have no real opinion anymore. 😔 Well, take any pick. I'm slightly more hopeful for this year regarding a new single, since Slash promised it for last summer, this year's tour seems to be shorter, they've had some time, and it would make zero sense not to release at least the said one new song, especially when it was probably finished god knows how long ago. So it would make sense. But as usual, this is GNR. Edited February 27, 2023 by jamillos 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweersa Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I initially thought Absurd and Hard Skool were released in support of a full studio album. Now, it seems the best we have to look forward to is another single, or "EP" like the last one. Re-worked Atlas Shrugged and Oh My God, starts soon! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll take that TBH 🤣 I know slash alluded to it…but we very well might get stuff here and there and it will get cobbled together at somepoint as a compilation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes no sense for Slash to say that there's new music coming (last year) and not release it. There's always a delay with GNR, so maybe whatever possible delay there was it was worked out in the months since they toured last.... I mean, we're talking about firing the singles up on streaming services and making some dodgy lyric video, not sure what could be getting in the way🤣 ...oh wait Axl, Axl is again over-thinking and that means no singles. I don't expect them release anything for this upcoming tour, but I didn't expect Absurd/HardSkool so... who the fack knows! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although that Slash's promise could have been that he really believed they'd release something at that time, but then... plans changed. Right, who knows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick85 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Yeah it’s hard to articulate how I feel. I mean of course I hope they end up releasing a couple tracks leading up to the tour, but if you’ve been around for a minute you understand their track record is dogshit. Only thing we can really do is try to keep our expectations in check along the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhazUp Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) I find it hillarious that 50 percent of all the new music released since 2008 is Silkworms If one of the first "Slash is here again and we have studio material here" songs is Silkworms, I think it is best to just assume the band is done with anything non-tour related lol. What's the point otherwise Edited February 28, 2023 by WhazUp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on that it seems that Axl is still focused on getting the rest of the CD material out, and since Slash has confirmed this and said he had worked on a bunch of additional songs from that era, I think it is safe to assume the band it not done with everything non-tour related and that we can expect more music to be released lol.

That is also true and if that is indeed the case let's put it this way - if how Hard Skool was mixed is any indication, we are in this case either getting underwhelming brickwalled and disjointed mixes with cool Slash guitar on it, or nothing at all. Neither seem great lmao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do mind replacing musicians that originally were part of writing songs with Slash just to satisfy the public who thinks music is somehow automagically elevated just by him being on it. That being said I still enjoy Hard Skool, I think it is a great rocker, and I look forward to what they have in store for us next. It is indefinitely better that not getting any music.

I like this. For me, I really dislike the mixing, everything is so compressed. Such a 180 from how Chinese Democracy sounds. I also enjoy Hard Skool, but I think it's one of the most by the numbers Guns tunes to date. Fairly generic compared to most tunes in the Gn'R catalog imho. I think the chorus is strong, the bridge on both versions as well. the song is much weaker without Josh's drums imo, but I like both versions. I believe what Slash said about how he thinks the more "epic" couple of tunes he mentioned are of high quality. technically, we don't know the reason for why Slash was added, cause maybe Axl listened to Slash's version and thought it was an improvement over the demo versions. For example, I think Absurd is a better tune thanks to Slash, especially live. Edited February 28, 2023 by Rovim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trin9498 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 When people say “compressed”, what does that mean? I like HS but I prefer the demo. I liked the intro better on that one. I hate the school bell on the released version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you saying "the best we have to look forward to" when Slash months ago laid out what the plan is ... ??? We are getting another 1-2 songs at some point (most likely this year) and then another 1-2 songs, and then all 4-6 will be released together.

Because at this point, best case is we get a few singles. An album is off the table, for now it seems. I don't think 4-6 songs will be released in a compilation. An EP or EPs? I thought Slash was referring to an eventual album after they squeeze out their singles. (Just because they only played on 4-6 songs doesn't mean they can't release songs they didn't touch, which I hope is the case on an eventual album) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I just mean it shouldn’t be a track the media can say first leaked in 2019 since it dates the material a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
