same thing here in norway and i thing most of the place.... actually i have never heard of it without one in a million. But axl said he was going to take it off future pressings so maybe Sakib got a brand new pressing or something, or maybe a wallmart edition... maybe the ones in the store now are old pressings...

i totally agree with andrea_rose. i don't get the nigger thing. i mean, slash's mom is black so, that line is both insulting to his mom and him. i wonder if there were any problems between axl and slash when the song was supposed to be recorded.

the way I see it AXL was playing a role, it was an act, He was playing the role of a redneck and the fact that he was pretty much a redneck from indiana made him want to build the whole theatrical play. It's a way for him to tell us that we should condemn this little character. i think the line "It's all greek to me" proves that it's an act, he is laughing at himself for being an ignorant racist homophobe.
Axl is not like that. A racist homophobic little ignorant prick wouldn't have written MADAGASCAR.

but do you think tho that slash would have had anything to do with the song if he was so offended, or that anyone else in the band would have if slash was offended?
i see it as beeing ahead of time kind of and or as a rage kind of thing, now a days everybody calls eachother nigger all the fucking time, it's no big deal anymore, he was just out a little early.... plus axl's explanation tells that he is not a racist and he has a black bodyguard or whatever, and he has never as far as i know used the n word at any other point, and he never played the song live after it's release...
i don't think slash was offended by it, so noone else should be either i guess... sure american family assosiation or whatever will be, but they were told quite frankly to go to the new age section weren't they....
and just to add a little vr into this, weiland wasn't even allowed to sing poppy seeds.... how terribly fucked up is that?
it's all bull shit.... freedom of speach my ass...

Damn, if I was a rockstar I would sing that song every set I did. Not because I'm a racist but because it showcases just how people are. You don't think a black person ever discriminates? You don't think immigrants are being rude buy treating people as if they don't belong in their own country?
i totally agree. ppl are just too ignorant to find the real meaning of the song. they hear two bad words and criticise a great song just becuase of them.

yeah. but the sad fact is that racizam still exists. my friend went to miami
last winter and she was totally shocked. in a fucking schoolbus, if the bus driver
was black, he would refuse to drive any white childern to school and vice versa.
all those lines about police, niggers, faggots and immigrants mean something
personal to axl. he just wrote a song about his bad experiences with them.
for an example, the immigrants and mini-iran thing is because some iranian dude
from 7-11 kicked slash and axl out of his shop because of the way they were dressed.
axl was arrested over 20 times and only while he was living in indiana, so he obviously
hates the police. and when he came to los angeles a guy tried to rape him, so no wonder
he dislikes homosexuals. so all these lines in the song mean something to axl and why not
write a song about it? it kicks ass anyway. too bad they didn't perform it live...at least i think
they never did...

i think it was wrong to say nigger when he knows damn right that slash would have been offended.
He should have thought of that but then again we are talking about axl (i am a fan of his) he can be so egotystical and selfish...
then again,.... i guess everyone can be like that..

It probably was bad timing to record that back then. You hear some of the stuff around now?? Example Eminems song Kim. If Gnr never recorded One in a million back then but did now, it would probably go un noticed.

I doubt Slash was really that offended. He sems like a pretty easy going guy, and he's done plenty of offensive things over the years. And about the whole playing the role of a redneck, I always thought this song was about him when he first got to LA. I don't think he was really being a racist here, just expressing his anger at certain shit that happened to him. He does say, "Radicals and racists, don't point your finger at me." He's just pissed at people who are getting in the way of him accomplishing what he wants to accomplish.
