Lyrics?

[Christos AG]

I dont hear that on the boston show at all

So, you're telling me that on a clear soundboard version of that show you can't hear what I wrote, which I read on Axl's screen's, and you're hearing something else?

That's it, I give up. You're right, the lyrics have changed over the years... 

Back in 2002 I remember somebody saying they saw part of the lyrics to Madagascar in the screen, I think the guy said he read "I'll free the ball and chain, we end together", or something like that, I'm really not sure now...

The guy was obviously mistaking, if you see the RIR gig FROM 2001, you'll clearly see Axl singing FREEDOM OR THE CHAINS.

I mean PEOPLE, the shit that's been written over the years DOESN'T MAKE FUCKIN SENSE. That's the reason I stopped watching the show and tried to make out what was written on Axl's screens...

That's it for me. For those who keep on insisting they're right, I simply don't care...

where can I find Oh My God Live? how many live boots of that song exist? which one has better quality?

I really like Oh My God, I think Richard said they re recorded it since the demo release.. wonder if we will ever get to hear the finished version

That is funny since someone that saw the screen in 2002 read something else which means that Axl changed that lyric. I am not saying you are not correct. I hear that is what axl is singing now and you are right, but I dont hear him singing that at every show from the past unless he was just mumbling it or we were so used to the wrong lyrics our minds play tricks on us and that is what he just hear.

I think I found the post that guy made, it was "ravensjacket29", I think in the GNRBar forum, it was his review of the show in Chicago, 11-18-2002, this is what he said:

"- i saw the lyrics screen THE EXACT lyrics for Madagascar.. from Axls teleprompter are
" Mired in denial
And saw heartbreak"
AND
" That we have the strength to choose
Ill free the ball and chain
We end together"

PLEASE do not argue with me about these.. these were what was on the teleprompter. "


I need to listen to the RIR 3 bootleg again though, maybe the lyrics back then were the ones Christos said, then in 2002 Axl changed them to this, and now he changed them back to the old one, I don't know, or maybe this guy who said he saw the screen in 2002 is far-sighted or something

Take a listen to those 2002 bootlegs and keep in mind what I read on the screens. Then come and tell me that he's singing this bullshit...

I always thought that kid was full of shit, maybe he was. But like I said, I think our minds just play tricks on us because we were so used to hearing it wrong, we just started hearing what we wanted and not what it really is. That is all I can think of

I agree, sometimes you read some lyrics and you become inclined to hear those lyrics in the song, even though they might not be correct, but they sound correct to you
