The Blues

[bolton]

Well,i can't wait to hear studio version of that amazing song.I think The blues are better song then Sweet child(my favorite gnr song),with much better lyrics.And for me the blues should be a first single of new album(when them come out).
this song is killer

[Elle]

It's an amazing song, my fave at the minute, but it wont be a single going by what Axl said at the Docklands.

[bolton]

Axl said many things...
But maybe blues can be a second or third single,like sweet child of mine

[badapple81]

It's a great song. But IMO, doesnt have enough to be a single. It's possible that Axl has changed or added to it since the 02 tour. It definately has a good base to make a COMMERCIALLY GREAT SONG (I think its a great song!) out of, but I don't think it's there yet  

[matt88]

I think it's a good song but not as a single

[Dave_Rose]

The Blues is a kick ass track its my fav song from the new GN'R I'd love to hear it in studio quality but Axl still knows how to do a song like that.

[horsey]

i don't think any song is better i like them all.but i do like the blues an wanna hear the studio version.

[HoldenCaulfield]

Yeah, I can't wait for the studio version. A lot of the guitars and synths come off stronger in the studio. It's probably the best overall song I've ever heard.

[AxlsMainMan]

I still havn't been able to decide if I personally like Madagascar or The Blues better. I think The Blues has a far greater chance of being released as a single over Madagascar just because of the minute/minute and a half quotes used in the song which I think will weaken the general public's first impression of the song. Personally I dont really like the quotes on there and think lyrically the song is very weak but I love it anyways. The flow and instruments on it are terrific. A studio version of The Blues will be awesome and I cant wait, but Axl has plainly stated none of the songs he has debuted will be singles. If these terrific songs we have already heard are not "singles material"  in Axls opinion, I cant wait to know what he has in store. When we get to hear it of coarse remains to be seen.

[Slashly]

Yeah, it?s a great song indeed.I think the studio version will be better than the live one.I think one thing that could make the song much more better would be that the midle solo was made by fortus and not by fink (he would defenitley do a better job than fink).
And I don?t talk about songles because I don?t even know when a Cd will be realesed.......

[HoldenCaulfield]

Enough with the Finck bashing again. Finck's solo in 'The Blues' is nothing short of brilliant, one that he wrote, btw. I can't imagine anyone else playing it.

[metallex78]

I've always thought of The Blues as a shortened November Rain or Estranged, which is a very good thing. Nice piano and nice melodic guitar.
Fincks solo is awesome too, can't wait to hear the studio version.

[diza]

Funny you should say that Metallex78,

I'm most excitement about hearing studio vocals on the songs we've already heard, especially after playing the Boston promo clips over and over recently.

The tone in his voice on '...wont be told anymore', which is all you hear, is so rich and deep. Same with The Blues.

I really can't wait to hear how high he sings because on Jungle London 2002, he goes off the chart at the end..seriously the best Jungle outro EVER. Just the thought of the definitive Madagascar scream makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

I don't understand why people who post here can have a problem with the dialogue section in Madascar. It's an absolutely incredible piece of art it its own right, and while I don't have time to analyse in detail right now, when you look at the breakdown of the quotes, sources and potential meaning at newgnr.com, and listen to the song, it provides a listening experience that is completely and utterly unique. It's so clever in so many ways, not least because Axl is telling his side via a kind of semi-third person narration which automatically removes the object of the automatic, overriding blind-hate sentiments of many critics and 'fans'.

[DEAD HORSE]

Great Song! The blues reminds the Illusion era . I love it , maybe it was written in late 90's .who knows?  

[Reinaldo]

Oh, man! I love these "The Blues" threads!!!!

Despite of what Axl said in Docklands, I wish it could be a single, with faster and slower studio versions, plus Rio, Osaka and New York live (fixed) and a instrumental one. Would Rock!!!
