JAxlMorrison Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 You’d think they would’ve used Hard Skool in this way. I mean, I’m glad to see it and all, for sure, but I think Skool was better for the “public.” Perhaps is fun, but is it what the casuals want from GNR? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNFNRUK Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 I was hoping Robin would be on stage to perform his ‘bend’ into the solo and rightly receive his 1 second of fame 😔. The way the solo comes in on the live version is how the studio recording should have been, robins lick left in just sounds really odd.

Popular Post default_ Posted August 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 19, 2023 From what I can see regular people are really enjoying the song. Not sure if hardskool would’ve this much praise cause in the end, it just sounds like a washed up hard rock song. Perhaps on the other hand, has that Illusions feel that soccer moms and casuls love and that kind of became a trademark for GNR with NR and Estranged. Im happy for Axl on this one, he surely needed a praise after 30 years of shit. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitchisback Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 The live version of Pittsburgh sounded pretty good! Axl has a little bit of work to do but Slash sounded great on the solo. I was out all day so I haven't gotten to see all the reactions but it seems fairly positive? The song sounds great and is a welcome addition to the catalogue. Bring on the fucking General! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that isn’t a very common feeling. Silkworms is so different to Absurd it is hard to compare. With Hard Skool I prefer the demo, mostly because of the drums, but it's tight. With Perhaps I clearly prefer the released version, it is just so much better in all aspects, mostly due to the mixing, how they have un-muddled the chorus, Slash's lead, Duff's rumbling bass and the improved drums.

I know that isn’t a very common feeling. i do tend to agree with this, certainly the demos feel like they're demos, and not the final mix, so there's an obvious upgrade in quality. i really like what they did with Perhaps the most, and Slash and Duff's contributions improved Absurd as well. With Hard Skool, I'd rather listen to the release than the demo, for sure. But I will say that it's a pretty mediocre mix. And I'm not a drummer, but I think Brain is playing just slightly behind the beat and it gives the song a sense of excitement on the demo that's totally missing from the release where the drums are sterile and lifeless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard Skool is a fun ditty, but Perhaps hits you more in the heart. It sounds like a modern Illusions-type song, which is more in line with their progression, age and status these days. It's a song casuals can take seriously, which I think is a major reason why it's been so well recieved Edited August 19, 2023 by jekylhyde 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that isn’t a very common feeling. I agree, so you're not alone. Absurd and Silkworms are like day and night for me. I don't like Silkworms AT ALL, but I love Absurd. I was kinda disappointed with the Hard Skool demo also, but the finished version is great. Perhaps isn't all that different compared to the demo, but I still prefer the finished version. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Matinator Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 the intro lead sound a little diferent from the demo to me. wouldn't surprise me if it was Robins Guitar though, isn't the tapping thing at the beginning of Absurd Bucket? He wasn't credited either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post eddie6 Posted August 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 19, 2023 How funny it is , they used to call the Chinese era band a cover band, and now Slash and Duff are doing covers of Chinese era Band songs. 2 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
