Same, I'm super excited. Even if it turns out they don't play it, one thing about today's soundcheck twist that has really impressed me is the number of people who actually wouldn't mind hearing Madagascar. And quite a good number of people who actually like CD. The album has copped a bashing from fans since it was released and for a long time, it's been generally 'unacceptable' to admit to liking CD. I sense the tide of opinion turning lately, not just on this forum, but in the press, too. I've seen a few retrospective reviews of CD that are much more favourable. And I liked what Bumblefoot said last night about how in time, people will come to appreciate CD for what it is: really good music. I totally get that some fans aren't into it and they don't have to be. It's just nice to know that CD is finally getting some love.

Sorry isn't about Slash though...Madagascar is very clearly about the old band while Sorry was confirmed to be about the media in a "Get in the Ring" pt. 2 sort of way.

I can't believe I never picked up on that, but now that I think of it, you're right. The melodies and riffs are very similar lol. has the band ever done both of those songs on the same night?

Wabby Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Wow, could they have done this to start a buzz to help ticket sales? I noticed they are selling Pit tickets half price right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it is written in such way that you could apply it just as easily to Slash if you felt so inclined - some lyrics are very specific to Axl/Slash feud. I tend to think Blues SOD references Slash more so than Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the people going to these shows don't analyze a blurred out teleprompter for 7 pages Jk, I spent 10 min trying to match up the lyrics with the teleprompter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
