Guns N’ Roses have returned with new song Hard Skool, which was originally recorded during the sessions for the band’s 2008 album Chinese Democracy.
The track is the band’s second single of 2021, following the release of Absurd in August.
After teasing the song for the past few weeks, guitarist Slash posted a video of himself rehearsing the new track at a soundcheck in Chicago.
Originally titled Jackie Chan, it was recorded during sessions for Guns N’ Roses’ difficult 2008 album Chinese Democracy, but never made the final cut.

The band’s 1988 classic Sweet Child O’ Mine recently surpassing a billion streams on Spotify last month and in July, they launched an official range of smoking accessories.
