artfromtex Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 (edited) Madagascar is probably my third favourite Gn'R ever.R.Ditto. I LOVE Madagascar.can i ditto your ditto? i too think Maddy is great. we just need to hear a studio version. he never really nailed that " iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii,,,,,,,,,,,,,iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, i,i,i,i,i,i,i, oh, i" part live. to hear that in full blown studio quality i think would be mesmerizing. i also like how the song is ambiguous (sp?) in it's meaning. it could be a relationship song. a song about personal demons. a song about an opressed people, anything really. those types of songs are always good because they can mean different things to different people. even the same person in different stages of life can take a different meaning from the same song. ya know what i mean?

max_y1990 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 (edited) Uh, no. Madagascar is easily the best song by the "new" GNR. It blows away anything else that's been released. Edited March 1, 2006 by max_y1990 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr. moustache Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 madagascar needs lots of work though, the quotes are pretty lame and it needs more lyrics and better structure. As for the song chinese democracy I really hope its on it, CD is a short rock ass kicker which the new cd is kind of lacking. Even a good quality rhiad should make it so that at least its even with rockers and ballads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old School Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 (edited) i might be the only one...... but after hearing the leaks i hope Madagascar doesn't make the cut, i really can't get into it, these new songs are just so much better! your opinion?.Unless it's been reworked and is better than what we have heard I agree 100%. Always thought it had potential but in the form we heard it's nothing stellar to these ears. Edited March 1, 2006 by Old School Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALUCA 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.im with you... theyre writing history!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they were both being hoarded.Madagascar is a pretty strong song. Hopefully the studio version features the 'hoarse' Axl voice. The studio cut from the Boston promos seems to suggest it will. Edited March 1, 2006 by Zephyrus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicagocoma13 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I agree. Every other new song I liked better. Madagascar never did much for me. Of course I was never a fan of November Rain and most people love it. I like Coma, Locomotive, and Estranged in that order as far as epic songs. My favorite sequence of songs starts with Garden of Eden and ends with Coma. I have always liked UYI #1 the best out of all the albums for those last 5 songs. Don't get me wrong Appetite is brilliant but not my fav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raidersbball21 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Madagascar is a great tune. I can't wait to hear the studio version of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W. Axl Kev Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Madagascar is an excellent song in my opinion. I prefer it to The Blues and Chinese Democracy. I think it is just so listenable, even for non-GN'R fans. It's a great musical experience and I really hope that Axl would consider putting it out as a single. It's much better than Estranged in my opinion. Of course I'm not overly enamoured with that song but I just think the lyrics are wonderful.Incidently I think Madagascar is another song, which relates to the political situation in China. A famous quote from Karl Marx (writer of the communist manifesto) was ''Workers of the world unite, all you have to lose is the chains.'' I'm pretty sure the second part of that quote is paraphrased in the song just before the quotes. Then all the quotes come in preaching democracy and liberty. I think the song is critical of communist China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrixAreForKids Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 01 01 01 Why can't you be out there?It's not. I don't believe the hoarders either. This person (it's only one) failed to show me screenshots to the menu on the dvd, so I say it's BS.The MTV reherseals I do believe, and at some point this will be in global circulation.

By someone I done mean anyone, trader or management. They recorded it right?As far as MTV rehersals the only reason I'd want to hear them would be to see if they did the medley better than the actual MTV awards. Meaning, on pitch and on time front man, cuz that medley kicked ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr. orangestone Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 everyone i know who's hear Better calls it an "epic emo song" and says TWAT is alright, and says Axl sounds like crap on IRS and it isn't up to par. I haven't shown anyone catcher yet. I say Maddy, the Blues, Catcher in the Rye, and TWAT are the best i've heard in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
