@ steve mckagan robin is playing the first part of the chinese democracy solo and i think it rocks
i personnaly love all of the new songs except silkworms wich i think is only mediocre. the blues isn`t my favourite of them, but a great song anyway.
i recommend the osaka versions of madagascar, the blues and rhiad and the vegas versions of all new songs+ rio madagascar. i don`t really like the soundboard versions of them and those of you who haven`t heard those versions shoould definitely hear them. if you want i can upload them.
and i think we can only judge on the studio versions if they`ll be classics or not.
@mikegiuliana did you expect anything like that??? first madagascar at the vma`s wasn`t that great and it was just a part of a medley

I didn't expect anything, but it was "gnr" back to the world and it was a new song that got good air time.. When neil young and pearl jam did their duet live it was always on and requested.. Many live performances from the vmas become staples in rotation outside of the show.. if you are a big gnr fan and might not be a big net person you would definetly inquire about it and request it as well..

Just let me add to the last post.. I say this because even though it was a shorter performance it was still enough for people to enjoy and form a good opinion.. To me that song was perfromed better then wttj, or PC singing wise.. Another reason is look at all the people on gnr forums that were able to take a IRS clip of 32 blurry shitty second of audio and want more and give3 it high ratings.. Not only that but say U-2 played a brief verison in a medley of a song, everyone would be trying to find out what it is and asking where can they hear it in itis entirety.. Now gnr coming back is a major thing, gnr was the biggest name in music for several years SO when a new gnr song is played at the end of a major award show and played over for several months there should be so many people being very curious about what it is and want to hear the entire thing.. Most new gnr fans love that song ,so if it's that good it should rub off onto the multi millions watching the vmas for those several months.. Hope that explained it better and why I said it..
The song itself should have cause a major flood for local rock stations and mtv to where it had to be adressed or replayed..

I enjoy "The Blues". Wasn't it one of the tracks that they had Brian May play on? I wonder if his parts will make the final cut.

This is the only Robin Finck Solo that I really like. But I haven't heard more solos by him in the new songs. I also like Sossego. He should just stop playin the old GNR solos.
yep. i h8 2 say this but i think he's betta than slash

Don't get me wrong I really like these songs [Blues and Maddy] but to say they are masterpieces, IMO I don't see how that can be determined from the live performances we have heard so far. I am not begruding those that think they are instant classics or masterpieces, I just don't see how that can be judged until you hear the final studio product. Who knows how much these songs could have changed, Axl could have completely changed things and we won't know that until we hear the studio versions. JMO.

Someone had to be the first to get to know this. And the only one.
Back to the topic: I think that The Blues and Madagascar are really good songs, Axl is incredible in both of them, his vocal melodies are among his best works.

If you think Robin is a better guitar player than Slash you need your head examined, I'm sure Robin and Axl would both agree. He's alright but he ain't no Slash, not even fuckin' close.

Nobody can be serious thinking that Finck is better than Slash. Period.

No more Slash/Finck talk, because the thought of someone saying Finck is even remotely close to Slash talent wise makes me want to put my head through this computer screen, but yes I think the blues and Maddy are good songs. But I think u guys are overlooking the fact that hes had so long to fix those songs up, I mean he was js playing them to see what they sounded like, they were still in the experimental stages.
Imagine them in their perfected stages, when they've fully taken that form that Axl meant for them. Imagine what Axl couldve done to those songs in 3 yrs, shit man they'll be so fuckin amazing when he does released em on cd, LOL they might even be orgasmic to some ppl. lol

Yes, The BLues is a great song. Yes, so is Madagascar. Yes, OMG and CHinese Democracy are also great tunes. But do we have to praise them every few weeks??? Come on, we all get the picture, they're great, they give us hope for CD, we'd love to hear the studio versions. Why are threads like this repeating over and over again??

because as much as I agree, there hasn't been anything new since years ago. Same as the same old sound boards get spoken of, to keep new gnr alive at all you have to speak about years past..

I listened to "the blues" for the first time. When I heard it, something magic happened. I listened to it 1 week non-stop.
Same thing happened to me. It was on my mind constantly for a long time after I first heard it. It is by far and away the best of new songs that have been played live in my view. A studio version would be worth a few bucks.

I disagree I love how Fortus added the outro to the blues. The orginal from hob and rio sounded empty but Fortus made it so much better
