Video: Guns N’ Roses Give New Song “Hard Skool” Its Live Debut

Guns N’ Roses have given their new single, “Hard Skool,”* its live debut. You can watch the video below.

At one time known as “Jackie Chan,” the song was originally written for, but not included on, 2008’s Chinese Democracy. It has since been reworked to better suit Slash and Duff McKagan, who returned to the band in 2016 after 20+ years away.

“Hard Skool”* is the second single GN’R have released in as many months, after another discarded Chinese Democracy song, “Absurd” (f.k.a. “Silkworms”).

Upcoming GN’R live dates:

SEP 29 – PNC Arena – Raleigh, NC [tickets]
OCT 2 – Hard Rock Live Arena – Hollywood, FL [tickets]
OCT 3 – Hard Rock Live Arena- Hollywood, FL [tickets]

Guns N’ Roses’ current line-up:

Axl Rose – vocals
Slash – lead and rhythm guitar
Duff McKagan – bass
Richard Fortus – rhythm and lead guitar
Frank Ferrer – drums
Dizzy Reed – keyboards
Melissa Reese – synths/samples
