Madagascar question!

Recommended Posts

What does it mean?

It's this famous speech and then Axl says some lines in between. Is he against Martin? Or does he agree? I can't figure out what this part means but I like it :P

And yea, Madagascar is a great song!

I used to think that was Axl as well- the same quotes used in Civil War. But it's Michael J. Fox, Gene Hackman some others..."This whole thing is fucked up!"- I used to think that was Axl.

I can't identify all the voices but I assure you Axl is not one of them. Can anyone place all the clips? It might give us some insight(or give us something to do).

The beginning of the "clip-solo" says "I'm gonna tell you a little story".. At first I thought that it was axl's voice with a low pitch, but we saw the movie "Mississippi Burns" in school the other week, so now I now it's a quote from that movie..

It's a black agent who are going to tell the towns racist mayor a little story about suffering

Wow okay, so Axl isn't saying any of those lines? He must say one? "What we've got here... Is failure to communicate" (Civil War). I know that line itself is another quote but it's Axl who's saying it?

Yep I've seen Mississippi Burning and I had a feeling at least one quote is from there.

Okay now I know.. Axl isn't saying any of those. Thanks.

Wow wait a sec now...

If it's not Axl in Madagascar solo-thing who says "What we've got here...", then it's not Axl who speaks in the beginning of Civil War either? :question::o I've ALWAYS thought the speech in beginning of CW is Axl who's quoting another person/quote... It sounds excactly as Axl?

I'm confused...

You think that sounds exactly like Axl??

I always thought it was some old lady :P

But I've seen cool hand luke though...so now I'm enlightened..

To unconfuse you: Det är inte Axl som säger det..det är direkt taget från ljudspåret på filmen..

axl's voice is in there, if i remember he says something like, " where does it come from"

and

"all this hate"

something like that

That's Willem DeFoe from Mississippi Burning: "Where does it come from. All this hatred?"

"Let's get something straight. This whole thing was fucked up" is Gene Hackman from the same movie.

Madagascar is a great song because it shows how far Axl has come since his racial epitaph spewing days with "One In A Million." It's definitely a bold political statement about racism and prejudice. He's definitely matured. I think the backlash from "One In A Million" really made him look hard at his own views on race. Then he wrote "Civil War" and finally "Madagascar." I don't think anyone would call him a racist anymore.

I don't think he was ever racist. One In A Million isn't meant to be taken literally.

no never alone!

Promised never to leave me!

Never to leave me alone!
