That Axl's old school voice is amazing. Brings me back to that fucking Illusion era.

Hearing Slashs riffs n Axl voice back together puts a smile on my face.

The world really need a new guns n roses album.

Quality bands make quality music no matter how old. Respect.

This is fucking Guns & Roses !. While listening to it, I went back to 1992, when I discovered Apettite For Destruction, and I swear to you that I felt the same adrenaline again, the same uncertainty that having that album caused me, and that it marked my life and fueled my passion for Rock & Roll.

I feel that this tune has some early 80's vibe like Hollywood Rose. I love it. And as a long time GN'R fan, I hope they release a new album soon.

I'm not sure people have noticed. This song is actually really good. It's already a classic (at least in my mind).

Truly an amazing song, the final kick into the last chorus launches you into another dimension

Mannnn Axl sounds great on those choruses. Been waiting for this since I was 15!

The track reminded me of the times when I was a 17-year-old schoolboy and listened to Guns N' Roses. The CDs were so fucking expensive in my country and my mother couldn't afford to buy even the cheapest player. My elder brother returned after serving in the army and bought a cassette player. Then I discovered their best ballads and once upon a time when I was in the capital of our region I bought "Illusions" and "Appetite". You cannot imagine my happiness when I traveled back home with that precious cassettes. This song brought me back to the time when I was listened to "Illusions" for the first time. Thank you, Axl, Slash, and Duff for these sweet memories. Can't wait to listen to a new album!!!

Axl's voice sent shivers down my spine 🤘

Feel lucky at 51 to hear this. From the first album they've delivered the goods. Seen em in several tours ,first with Aerosmith to the last being the initial Democracy line up. They always hit Detroit and I always went. Even saw Izzy live with the Ju Ju Hounds. These two "new" remixes on older tunes are the bomb. This may be older ,but thats Slash and that's all that matters.

What a riff. I’m just crying that I listen to my gnr again😍

way more old school vibes than absurd

Gotta admit, I was expecting a song of desperation, but Axl sounds great. Finally some old skool rock n roll again.

I remember hearing a badass 30 second clip of an older studio version of this song like 15 years ago that was circulating the old GNR forums. I knew it was gonna be a banger. This version is much different, but still good.

The Plan: 1 - Get back together 2 - Release a shit "new" song first to clear out 30 years of expectations 3 - Release a classic GnR banger that will make every real GnR fan smile in relief 4 - To the moon!

Guns N Roses is one of the most amazing bands ever, no one has a voice like Axl's! I love making videos about this awesome band, they are what true music really is 🤘

Pure gnfr, Axl screaming and singing and Slash.....is just SLASH nothing to add him supreme. So happy they back together.

Never thought i'd live to see the day.

I don't care if they're old vocals, this is fucking sick, I LOVE IT! Duff owned it, Slash killed it, and Axl sounded exactly how we wanted him to. Just to think what could've been achieved throughout the 90's had they swallowed their prides, this is as close as we'll get to knowing that alternate reality. Keep 'em coming, we all love it! 🤘

If this is any indication of what’s coming… The new record is going to be a rock n roll master piece! GNFNR!!!

The music of GN'R is what got me into poetry.

You guys rock! The sound is perfect, the lyrics great as always, the change of rhythm. Thank you for not giving up on your gifts, for not giving up on yourselves, and for getting out of the night of your soul!

I have to admit this rocks pretty hard

Definitely Guns N´Roses represents what rock n´roll actually means. They have shown a true rocker soul since 1985.

I love you, GNR! I finally got to see you live, & it was such a gift! I can’t wait for your new album, & to see you live again! ❤️You have so many loyal fans!!

The Voice of Axl is Absurd!!! 😍… The guitar of Slash is outstanding…. The best crazy combo ever!

That Duff bass start is sweet.

This song made me travel back to the 90s. Loved it! GnR are definitively back ❤... what a privilege. Just love these guys, best band ever 🥰

Slash and Axl are killing it once again!!! Can't wait to hear the new album!!!

It's surreal hearing something new with the classic voice again. Man, wish we could've gotten that album in the mid 90's. Hopefully a lot more vocals are in the vault to lay music over for the next release. Gotta hope this EP is just a teaser.

0:01 THAT BASS IS AWESOME!!!!

I'm not sure how I missed this when it came out. Quite a good track. These guys could do it again. Even if half the album's original and half the album is covers. We'd love it either way!

I'm one of the few that liked ABSUЯD, but Hard Skool is classic Guns N Roses. I'm just so happy to see Slash and Axl Rose making new music together.

Old Skool GNR!

This song is giving me appetide vibes. Loving his voice on the choruses. This is by far the best song they have done since the 90's.

This ROCKS! Glad to see the real GNR back together again!

Axl's raspy scream back on the chorus. Killer tone from Slash. Catchy yet hard hitting lyrics. This is classic GNR.

GNR is back. Amazing song!!! Come on, we wanna more 🔥🔥🔥 tks Slash. You rock!!!!

This song makes me think in the GnR from appettite to destruction, love you guys. This is amazing

GNR doesn't have one bad song , i love them

This is exactly what I imagined "Use Your Illusion III" would sound like. Awesome tune! Slash kills it.

Axl's voice is absolutely extraordinary.

wasnt expecting THAT. i thought that axl ruined himself but man can still sing. respect

Sounds so beautiful! It's sad that rock is not appreciated enough today and that there are no such good songs today

This was good. I hope Axl has some more killer vocal tracks in the vault Slash and Duff can add their tracks too.

This chorus is a fucking masterpiece

Aggressive. It's what we've wanted! All are on point!!!

Tiene el espiritú de los 90s, un TEMAZO, LARGA VIDA A LOS GUNS!!!!

This is just what we needed, old guns n roses. It's perfect. Thank you

All cautions made Every chance was given No effort spared To save what we had All in good faith I would not hesitate To extend myself And lend you a hand But you had to play it cool, had to do it your way Had to be a fool, had to throw it all away Too hardschool And you thought you were here to stay If that were true, it wouldn't matter anyway As tempers fade And lies forgiven No God's embrace Could break what we had And in it's place A storm had lifted I would've thought you could've been more of a man But you had to play it cool, had to do it your way Had to be a fool, had to throw it all away Too hardschool And you thought you were here to stay If that were true, it wouldn't matter anyway But you had to play it cool, had to do it your way Had to be a fool, had to throw it all away Too hardschool And you thought you were here to stay If that were true, it wouldn't matter anyway But you had to play it cool, had to do it your way Had to be a fool, had to throw it all away Too hardschool And you thought you were here to stay If that were true, it wouldn't matter anyway Too hardschool And you thought you were here to stay If that were true, it wouldn't matter anyway

I have been waiting years for this kind of sound. Thanks guys.

this song will forever be a memory how I got detention and I snuck my phone and headphones in. this started playing I had never heard it till then. thanks autoplay

Wait, what?! I wasn't expecting it to be like this! Can Axl just do that every time he sings? My gosh that was insane!

Axl’s voice sounds great.

Incredible - I want more of this big time

feels like GN'R old classic original song..... love it AXL --> you're back!!!

OMG when Axl lets his voice rip at 40 seconds it just unreal! LOVE IT!!!!!! MORE MORE MORE!!!!!!!

My ears are literally hurting, only because it’s so good I’ve been playing this full blast on my headphones all day.

The guitar towards the end has that Double talkin jive vibe....so good to hear new GnR again...its been far to long.

Chemistry of Axl, Izzy and Slash was mind-blowing

Holy fuckin shit... those are the best vocals he's done in decades. \m/

This sounds like Use Your Illusion stuff with a new kick. I’m diggin it!

When Axel shreds those lyrics it's the late 80s scene all over again. They're an 80s band folks :) Released their first two albums in the 80s.

Slash's expertise in create isane good solos never cease to amaze me, the man was born with a star.

There we go. That's the GNR I remember from 89-into the 90s. Still some of the best concerts I have ever been to. New music with a classic GNR feel.

So glad GnR is making songs again, it's great to see them back

I haven't been rocked this hard in years

OMG I haven't words to describe this great new work, it's simply GNR proving that they're and always will be the best band of all time I LOVE GNR

Fucking amazing!! I love this fucking band. Thanks GNR for at age 24 giving me at least one experience in my life of what it feels to hear one new top quality, old school GNR song for the first time in my life. Now I know what people in the late 80s and early 90s felt when GNR dropped songs and albums. Forever grateful!

I am With Gn`R since 1991 and forever... thank you for everything, my dear band, I love you

1987 i saw gnr in sydney australia, I love this ......

This definately sounds like 90's GnR to me. Made me really nostalgic.

I can hear axls early voice , some parts Hollywood rose era, this is just what was needed , thanks GNR👍

brooooooooo i'm so exited for the show in brazil, curitiba, and i'm gonna watch!

Cant wait to hear a new album, i know its a old song but if this is anything to go by its going kick mega ass!!!!

Hard Skool >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Absu Яd

This exceeded my expectations. A new song but recognizable GnR instrument sounds and Axl's suprisingly good voice brings me back to childhood when I shut my eyes. Well done!

I feel sad for all people died without listen this masterpiece

GnR is back! Hell yeah, THIS is the sound I fell in love with!🤘

The bridge is the best part imo. It has that use your illusion feel to it.

That scream he let's out at the end of this song is epic

This one actually sounds like GNR.

This sounds great . Can't wait for the album

Music is one of the most basic things in life. Music is what teaches us.

That’s more like it 😍😍😍

Reminds me of Night Train,,,,which fn rocked! Can't wait to see GNR rippin again

I would die to experience listening to hard skool again...😭 What a masterpiece!

This song is 200x better than absurd! More songs like this is what we need 🤘🏻

This is a ripper! Lean mean rock song; with just enough flourish to make it super melodic. Love it!!! Can’t wait for the new album 🙏🏻

This is damn devilish composition. I really love their genre and I’m listening them since I was born. Fucking great

All GNR has to do is make every new song in the vein of Appetite .. and they RULE the rock world..

This song is amazing. Listening to this song, I go back in time to 1992. Rock and Roll is still alive.

Ive been waiting for this masterpiece for so long!

Love this song! Awesome! Axle's vocals rock!

This song is so brilliant and it fits in with GNR sound!
