«Hard Skool» es la nueva canción de Guns N’ Roses y que ya es la segunda en los últimos meses que llega como remake de viejos descartes
La reunión de Guns N’ Roses con Slash y Duff McKagan ha dado lugar a otra nueva canción, «Hard Skool», apenas unas semanas después de que la banda debutara con «Absurd», una versión reutilizada de una canción inédita «Silkworms» de principios de la década de 2000.
Como en el caso de «Absurd», «Hard Skool» se ha extraído de las sobras de las largas sesiones de composición de Chinese Democracy cuando tanto Slash como McKagan no formaban parte de la banda. Los fans seguramente reconocerán algunos elementos de la pista de las versiones filtradas que habían estado flotando en Internet antes del lanzamiento oficial, pero ahora se le ha dado un impulso con la presencia inconfundible del par de iconos que se volvieron a unir en 2016.
El lanzamiento de «Hard Skool» parecía inevitable desde que se subieron a la cuenta de TikTok del guitarrista unas imágenes de la banda ensayando la canción durante la prueba de sonido, grabadas por la novia de Slash, Meegan Hodges. Una especie de burla similar se produjo cuando Guns N’ Roses debutó con «Absurd» en directo antes de que la versión de estudio de la canción fuera lanzada en todo el mundo, generando toneladas de rumores sobre la llegada de un nuevo material largamente discutido.
Todavía no está claro qué otras intenciones tiene Guns N’ Roses con la nueva música y si todo esto está conduciendo a un anuncio de álbum, tal vez uno que incluirá canciones recién escritas en lugar de seguir minando los archivos.
Letra de HARD SKOOL
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 my 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 hard school and you thought you were here to stay
If that were true, it wouldn’t matter anyway
As tempers fade and lies forgiven
No cause embraced could break what we had
In its place a storm is liftin’
I would’ve thought you could be 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 hard school and you thought you were here to stay
If that were true, it wouldn’t matter anyway
Ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy
Ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy
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 hard school and you thought you were here to stay
If that were true, it wouldn’t matter anyway
Had to play it cool, had to do it your way
Had to be a fool, had to throw it all away
Too hard school and you thought you were here to stay
If that were true, it wouldn’t matter anyway
Had to play it cool, had to do it your way
Had to be a fool, had to throw it all away
Too hard school and you thought you were here to stay
If that were true, it wouldn’t matter anyway
