Do it! Keep an open mind, this is Axl after all, so it's....an unusual song. It's very orchestral. Very melancholy. You might need to play it a few times while you're doing something else to get the gist of it. I like it. It's not my favourite off the album, but I am really excited to hear it live with the current line up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soon Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Maddy contains MLK quotes. IMO this would be very meaningful in the current climate in NA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The melodies and riffs are very similar lol. has the band ever done both of those songs on the same night? My guns used to, I don't think the current lineup has.

soon Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Unless they've really changed up the arrangement, the video doesn't seem to show Slash playing Maddy. So one of the other songs said to be sound checked must be what is captured in those muted clips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janrichmond Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 ok i listened to Madagascar twice.My opinion is that it starts pretty good but then kinda meanders off into the MLK speech and effects that wasn't pleasing to me. If they do this song live do they still keep that in? I liked Axl's voice but i wanted more guitar and less effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A potentially decent song with too much effects and speech and some more guitar would be good. I hope slash gets to add something to it the way he did with the Better intro and also add his own solo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he uses that voice especially for Madagascar, otherwise with falsetto, it would sound like my ass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Bird Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 3 hours ago, AxlRoseCDII said: 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. That's actually not true. When Axl was asked about Sorry to be about Slash, he more or less avoided to agree by saying the song is not about a specific person. That could mean it's partly about Slash but also about media and managers. I haven't Axl's exact words in mind but that's roughly how I did understand it.

Pretty clear he's referring to Slash as "somebody I used to know". You may be right in the sense the song was written with multiple groups or people in mind, but my original point was that Sorry was clearly not about Slash while Madagascar was, which is why they play Sorry live and wouldn't touch Madagascar in my opinion.

Slash said that too about Crucify The Dead, that the lyrics are not about Axl but clearly they are . Anyway, I didn't know the clip you posted, and I was referring to something he said during the chats I think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
