Slightly OT: but I went to a mall today. It was like a ghost town. It was like I was back in the Spring before the regulations were lifted. The only places I saw that were reasonably packed was some kids fun place (ugh) and a nail salon. That nail salon had most of the seats filled. All the customers were wearing masks though.

Remember in the early 2000s some parts of the fanbase used to look at how many Tuesday's were left in the year and try to determine when the latest that CD could be announced to be released? For some reason, I just thought of that as a potential album announcement is upcoming.
I don't think they should release Hardschool too quickly. Ride the wave of the Absurd release first.

When we finally get the album, we're going to realize what a waste the whole saga was. It all should've happened back then.....hell....he showed up at HOB in 2000 but got tossed out!
Oh man, when we go over the entire "saga". It's really mind boggling. No author would come up such a weird and strange story. This album should have been released at least several times in the past. And then you have the stuff like the aborted reunion in 2006 and the Slash drunken rant at Axl's house afterward.
Oh well , better later than never.

If so....it is in play.
It was dropped at the same time Silkworms was....and we know the later CD lineup worked on both tracks.
Edit
Absurd
Hardschool
Oh My GodIf it's a 12 track album.... we're off to a great start!
Add in a reworked/proper Atlas Shrugged, which is closely related musically to Catcher in the Rye. I wouldn't bother limiting it to 12 tracks either. Albums don't really "matter" as much. So I'd rather them just release whatever is the best material at once. No use holding it back.

It really is bizarre when you think about it...
Slash, Duff, and Izzy with the wisecracks about grunge/industrial in the late 90s.
Fast forward 20 years....
Reunion is here and they break the ice about a new record.
They are shown the songs they would've worked on had they never left in the first place.
*Insert Axl shit eating grin here*
Yeah. I remember 95-97 time period almost every band was doing a grunge infleunced record. I'm not sure why they were so fucking opposed to it. Guess egos clashing and half the band being on drugs or major drunks didn't help.
#526 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNR Release 'Absurd' Single » 249 weeks ago
What's also fitting is they mocked Axl back then for wanting to do a grunge or industrial record....
And look what's waiting for them in the vault...
That's pretty funny and ironic.
Oh My God and State of Grace could be in play.
I think Oh My God would benefit from Slash and Duff. I remember liking the lyrics, especially the chorus, but the music just wasn't that interesting. It was a mess actually. It was like in 1999 so the few times I heard it was when I went to a Tower Records and they had the End of Days soundtrack on one of those listening stations.

It would be funny if great songs like Perhaps were left off because they don’t fit his vision or whatever.
I think that wouldn't happen because Perhaps is maybe closest to a mainstream hit or at least one of the few songs that might match the desciption.

I'm now giving him a pass for this.
He has a bunch of finished songs in his vault.
Vocal takes in your 30s-40s or vocal takes when you're approaching 60?
The less new work he has to do, the more likely it will get released.
I don't want any more delays....
Yup. Big picture here: leads to an album finally being released. Those things are a minor blip.
I do think it's kinda ironic since they picked Absurd as a single. Given that everything that has happened with GNR post 95 could be described as Absurd. It's quite fitting actually.
#529 Re: Guns N' Roses » Absurd » 249 weeks ago
He was sitting on some killer material....an albums worth of scorchers. Any talk the past five years of putting an album out would've revolved around the Chinese elephant in the room.
I've been listening to the leaks alot lately and the instrumental stuff that he never did anything with, up until now, like Soul Monster and Oklahoma grow on you. I'm excited to see what Slash and Duff can do with this.
Oh, have I entered some bizarro world where Guns N' Roses is now releasing music via download?
#530 Re: The Garden » The Wrestling thread » 249 weeks ago
I think a potential problem that AEW may have an issue with down the line is roster bloat, especially if you keep on adding ex WWE guys.
Beautiful Bobby Eaton died today. I never caught most of his heydey in the 80s but he was one of those solid pro wrestlers that put on a great match every time I watched WCW in the 90s.
