Re: GN'R 2021 Tour Thread
I don't understand how they don't even mention it like wtf the song is coming out in most of the world rn and coming first to the usa in 40 mins l
He just gave us a taste of the rollout of Hard School without giving us a taste....
There will be no promo blitz behind it.
If there was, even if not performing it for whatever reason he would've mentioned it knowing that the press would pick up on it for the articles tomorrow.

It is strange...yet unprecedented.
On the night a new single launches, the alternate they play is the first single they released instead.
I'd love to know who comes up with their setlists. They are fairly static obviously but I'd still like to know who does it.
With Soundgarden, Cornell and Cameron alternates between the two and would come up with that day's set the night before.
I can't picture Axl and Slash doing that...and obviously Fortus, Dizzy, Frank, and Melissa have no involvement.
Maybe Duff and Fernando?!?
Yeah, the strangest part is they dusted off Shadow instead. The only reasonable explanation is Axl hasn’t rehearsed HS with the band and/or didn’t feel comfortable playing it live yet? That’s all I can think of. They sound checked it prior to the show and have been doing so. It seems the band is ready to play it. Well, minus one.

Re: GN'R 2021 Tour Thread
How fucken weird. Drop a new single then don’t say shit about it at the show, or even play it…
But hey, this is GN’R. Business as usual folks, business as usual
Re: GN'R 2021 Tour Thread
Not even a mention on the official website. Just some Twitter and Instagram posts where literally all the say is "Hardskool is f'n here". And that's it. That's all the info that is released.
Bizarre. If they do and say nothing over the next week, if there are no more dates this year and there is no bigger release to promote this side of Christmas... wtf are they doing? Like I'm glad they released it but from the point of view of maximising impact, publicity and any sort of return it's a total waste.
We'll see but I think this it for a while and radio silence from this band will continue.
Re: GN'R 2021 Tour Thread
2021 Axl can’t sing this one. Not a chance.
I’d love to be wrong.
I think he could sing it as well as some of the songs they routinely perform live (Better). But Absurd is easier for him to pull off I guess, so maybe that’s the reason they went with that song first. I’ll give them another shot to play it at the next show now that the song is actually released. If they don’t, we’ve seen this movie before. Going forward in reverse.

They don't play TWAT anymore, right? This song has a similar structure in that there's no room for Axl to breathe during the verses. I don't see him doing it well. I guess he could, but I imagine we'd be ripping him apart.
