Re: Hardschool single coming September 24th.
So let me get this right… Fernandon’t was quick to shoot down the rumour of the other EP track list, only for them to announce this days later?
Shit, this band is a fucking joke!
It’ll be interesting to see the difference in Slash promoting the new Conspirators album next month, compared to radio silence from GN’R.
Re: Hardschool single coming September 24th.
Axl runs the ship and ultimately he is responsible for much of what goes wrong in the band. The lack of talk however is down to Slash and Duff. They can't do an interview and talk about the songs? They fear Axl is going to fire them and wreck his own tour if they say something "wrong"? Not likely.

Re: Hardschool single coming September 24th.
The more I listen to it, the more I am digging Slash's solo in the middle of the song. Duff's bass at the beginning is good stuff too. I'm glad both the 2000 and 2021 versions exist. They are pretty different in terms of the instruments, but they both kick ass in their own way.

I like it more than the old school version. It just works somehow...and it's a miracle it wasn't turned into an abomination like the BBF Silkworms.
A bit more care went into it this time.
Just listened to old school now. It's crazy this is even happening. Imagine being told in 2006 that during the reunion in 2021, the two singles would be Silkworms and Checkmate.

No shit. 
I'm just glad we finally got the full version of Checkmate after that 10 second clip leaked 15 years ago. And now we have two pretty cool/different versions of the full song. Never would have believed this would be the case 5 years ago. Slash & Duff being part of it makes the whole thing even more unbelievable. 
Re: Hardschool single coming September 24th.
IMO a ‘press release’ is about as un rock n’roll as you get. They’re for corporates
Literally every musical act - even small ones - do official announcement notes saying what the hell it is they're doing. It's a normal thing.
