RickyLSmalls Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I like madagascar more than citr, better might be better.I would have to hear all of them in their final version before I could say for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cathead Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 it's got some good hooks, and all we have to go on are live versions...i'm guessin the studio version will be just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F*ck Fear Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I have a feeling Madagascar would sound so great in the studio.It's easily one of the greater "new" songs. I perfer it over Chinese Democracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axls_Disillusion Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Maddy is just being overshadowed because of how great these tracks are. but axl played it at the VMA 02 for a reason. Its a great song! We've just had it for a while so its not exciting anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
there is no dana only zool Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I have a feeling Madagascar would sound so great in the studio.Agreed. Actually I think that *all* these songs are going to sound amazing in the studio, but yeah, Madagascar has "masterpiece" written all over it when it gets out.

EccoTides Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Madagascar is alright... It starts out great, but it doesn't really go anywhere - I'd imagine that it'll sound much better as a studio track, but who knows.Of all the new tracks, it's somewhere just below the middle for me.

bdinan Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Madagascar is my third or fourth favorite new track based on the best boot we've heard. Catcher is quickly becoming my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Apollo Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I actually agree with you.I LOVED the Blues and played the shit out of it for the last couple of years.But Better, TWAT and CITR are just on another level musically as far as I'm concerned.Blues and Maddy are very cool songs. And I could easly see studio version of The Blues being a huge hit.But I think the new songs have the potential to be classics.I THINK THESE NEW SONGS HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO MAKE CHINESE DEMOCRACY THE NEXT APPETITE FOR DESCRUCTION. AN ALBUM PEOPLE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT 25 YEARS FROM NOW. AN ALBUM THAT LITERALLY DID CHANGE THE ROCK WORLD.Whereas songs like Maddy, Blues, CD, Rhiad have the potential to be the next Use Your Illusions. Killer songs, that we all love and cherish. But not songs you'll still be talking about 25 years from now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a cd right now with all the songs on it - the new leaks and the concert released remixes. And Maddy/Blues/Rhiad/CD all pale in comparison.Maybe the studio versions of those songs will blow us away. But in terms of depth and how complex the songs are . . . . they don't even come close to the new songs. Maybe to IRS, but not Better and Twat.

cfcsfc Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I really like Madagascar. The music hits you straight away, and sets the tone of the song very nicely, and it is a very striking riff. The 'sound-clip' solo part is very well done I think, and is very memorable. The one thing I'd like changed is a bit more variety in the lyrics. He repeates the "I won’t be told anymore" part a bit too often- its sung four times... But I deffinatly want it on the album! I remember the first time I heared it I was thinking how awesome an album version would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you've had time for it to sink in, these songs have been out for a month-ish. Let me know what you think in 2010.Grimo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiefer1 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I like Madagascar...though I think the newer live versions are too overwrought with orchestra instrumentation. Because of this, I feel that the RIR3 version has a little more bite than the late version.One thing I never liked is the keyboarding...yes I know this is the main part of the song...but I just found the sound of the keyboard as kind of cheesy, somewhat cheap. The notes/stucture of the keyboard riff is catchy, it's just the sound that Dizzy's playing...almost too keyboardy. And that's my opinion from first listen til today.But overall, I like the song, nice little looped jungle drumbeat in the background, haunting Axl lyrics, good guitar break over the samples. This track should be easier to mix than T.W.A.T. because there's less going on here...but I have a feeling that the studio version may have to strong of an orchestra mix. I just think the orchestra should be light, ala RIR3, to help as filler. It sounds overly cheesy and somewhat unmoving as a key part of the song's sound (ala 2002 tours). Keep the edge, Axl!
