About
Hard Skool is a song from the Chinese Democracy sessions. It originally leaked as a 16-second snippet in 2006 under the title 'Checkmate'. In a 2008 forum Q&A, Axl Rose confirmed 'Checkmate' to be a fake title, while joking that the real title was 'Jackie Chan'. On July 26 2019, a new 28-second snippet leaked, with the tracklisting of a demo disc from 2000 revealing the real title as 'Hardschool', and the full track leaked on August 24. The reworked version with Slash and Duff McKagan, was released as their 2nd new song in 13 years on September 24 2021. The bridge samples vocals from 'Eye On You', an unreleased song from 2000. In August 2021, Guns N’ Roses released their first new material since 2008, in the form of a digital single, “Absurd”. A month later, in September 2021, GN’R released another new digital single, “Hard Skool”. Now in February 2022, both those songs, paired with a couple of live tracks, are available in CD format as the Hard Skool EP.
