Title: Axl says : Madagascar is on Chinese Democracy | MJF benefit concert related
Post by: NicoRourke on November 14, 2006, 06:12:34 AM
Since this was in People Magazine, and it's straight from Axl's mouth, I thought I'd post it. If not, sorry.

We all know that Axl performed Live And Let Die at the Michael J. Fox benefit concert. he was then interviewed regarding his presence there by People Magazine. Here's what he said :

Michael J. Fox rocks with Sheryl Crow, Axl Rose at Fundraiser
 (http://people.aol.com/people/article/0,26334,1558380,00.html)

Quote from: People Magazine
Axl Rose, a surprise guest, took the stage at the Waldorf-Astoria Ballroom to sing McCartney's "Live and Let Die." Why the performance? "Michael had asked", Rose told PEOPLE. "We actually used a sample of Michael J. Fox from (his film) Casualties of War in one of our songs that will be on the new album. So I felt, one, I've always been a fan of his. And I also feel for the guy and his situation. I'm for stem-cell research, so I just thought it would be wrong not for me to come when I was asked."

Can't wait to hear Madagascar's studio version :drool:

Where'd you get an idea like that, lol.

Madagascar is a great song.. but.. I was kinda expecting it to be a b-side, honestly. Bring on TWAT and The Blues, baby! :peace:

I knew we would get Madagascar on the album, but I wasn't sure if we would get the movie quotes. Glad this confirms it :)

We were, whats more encouraging is that he's talking publicly about the new album  : ok:

Maybe he has other quotes from Casualties of War in a Big Gun, and Madagascar has to be dropped to make room for this new song.  :hihi:

I think some of us forget how incredible madagascar is simply cause we have listened to it for so many years.

I still think its one of the greatest GNR songs ever.

You know whats funny? I've always thought that too. I don't know why but it makes the song soung like less of a good song.

Madagascar is incredible and it's one of the tracks I'm most eagerly awaiting hearing the studio version of.  I get shivers every time I hear it.
