weaponsnflowers Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Happened upon this song on youtube. I quite like it! It's very different from typical Guns sound though. It reminds me a little bit of George Harrison's (of the Beatles at that time) "Something" with how relaxingly groovy it is. It's like reverse way of saying the same thing as the song "Something", in this case "nothing". Very hypnotic song, I guess it's unfinished in many ways, since there's only few lines of lyrics. Who has heard it and what did you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 It's a cool idea. Needs to be worked on. Found out some time ago they used a few vocal parts for the released version of Hard Skool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackstar Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 I like Nothing as a rough sketch of a song. I think it could be developed into something good. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 I think it was Josh Freese who mentioned (a couple years ago) that Axl and Billy Howerdel would spend lots of time messing around in the pro tools room, Billy would play something then Axl would do rough vocals over the ideas. That's exactly what Nothing sounds like - a very rough sketch of a song idea. Kind of interesting to hear once, but I haven't listened to it since probably 2019. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seb91 Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 It's very much a rough sketch. It certainly could have gone somewhere though with more work. I guess if it does come out in some form then we'll know the Chinese well has been truly exhausted at that point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any song from the Village leaks without Axl's vocals sounds like some background video game music to me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from them sounding similar, are we even sure the vocal parts of Eye on You are confirmed to be the very same used on HS, or is that something we've just come to accept?

I've been wondering the same, but many fans seems pretty sure that it's the exact same parts from Eye On You, so it's the latter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlRoseCDII Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Nothing sounds like elevator music. I kinda like it. It’s a bizarre, heavenly and floaty track, unlike anything I’ve heard from GNR. Would’ve been cool to see how it developed but I’m guessing it was abandoned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I would like to see some actual evidence for that, fans often make facts out of assumptions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that could potentially top the whole Perhaps Jukebox thing would be if we watch them release Eye On You as the next A-side in November and not Atlas Shrugged and that they didn't actually cannibalize that track of the vocals and those hey heys in Hard Skool were a red herring all along.

StrangerInThisTown Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 And for the topic, I would give Eye On You and State Of Grace a way bigger chance to ever come out than Nothing, stuff that had any sort of real lyrics and vocals completed for it is way more likely to have been worked on more.

They don't sound exactly the same to me, but since the vast majority of users insisted they were the same I guess those of us with doubts just kind of accepted it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just listened to them to compare and I agree. Doesn't sound exactly the same but the "Hey-Heys" in Hard Skool are quite hidden in the mix so it is hard to say. In Eye On You they change a bit each time they are repeated, in Hard Skool it seems to be the same "Hey-hey" repeated again and again. I think the tempo is different too. It could be that they have samples the first "Hey-heys" from Eye On You and used they repeatedly in the breakdown in Hard Skool, I really can't say. When I heard the final version of Hard Skool I immediately thought of Eye on You, but not because the "Hey-heys" were identical but more because the whole new breakdown reminded me of that part of Eye On You. Even if they have sampled from Eye On You, I don't think it would prevent them from releasing Eye On You, too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colonizedmind Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Do you think they all turned up to rehearsal one day, sat in a circle, could hear a bail blow by and Tommy was like, ok, what you got shithead? Going round the group....nobody had anything....So Tommy was like, ok, we got nothing, that's what we write! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
