Skool's in, for autumn! And maybe that's why Guns N' Roses have released another new song, "Hard Skool," their second new song of the year. They previously released "Absurd" a few months ago.

According to Loudwire, the writing of "Hard Skool" began during the sessions for Guns N' Roses' 2008 album Chinese Democracy, an album recorded before Slash and Duff McKagan rejoined the band. However, both guys definitely make their presence felt in the song -- it kicks off with a bass intro that is unmistakably Duff.

Are Axl, Slash and Duff planning a new Guns N' Roses album? The three haven't been on a GNR album since 1993's "The Spaghetti Incident?". And they haven't made an announcement about a record. They've still got a few more U.S. tour dates before going to Australia and New Zealand and then Europe.
