Madagascar

[Danny]

Can anyone identify all the sound clips in Madagascar?  I recognize a few.  For instance, there's the guy from "Cool Hand Luke" (not sure of the actor--same clip was used in Civil War).  I also here James Earl Jones, but I'm not sure what movie it's from.  Obviously there are a bunch of bites from MLK's "I Have A Dream" speech.  Also, I'm not possative, but I'm pretty sure I heard Willam DeFoe from "Platoon".


Can anyone else figure the rest out or verify these?

I can get you the list... I transcribed it somewhere... Willem Dafoe and Gene Hackman, though, are heard in this clip. It's taken from "Mississippi Burning." There is also a clip from "Braveheart," Michael J. Fox from "Casualties of War," and a few others... I'll look for the list.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Quotes Below:

Stand up for righteousness! Stand up for justice! Stand up for truth! You got to call on that something That can make a way out of no way That power that can make a way out of now no way I tell ya I seen the lightning...I've heard the thunder roll! Sometimes... I feel discouraged Sometimes I feel discouraged He promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone, no never alone, no never alone! Promised never to leave me! Never to leave me alone!

Black men and white men Together at the table of brotherhood! I have a dream Free at last! Free at last! Thank God almighty!! WE ARE FREE AT LAST!!

That part gives me goosebumps.
Fucking brilliant. 

[Axlfreek]

whats this song about anyways ?

[Danny]

I always thought it was about Axl wiching Slash & Duff well on their future endevors.


But who knows.

[kunzerd]

if you want to take the song very literally, and it could be true, it seems that the song is about axel striving to still be gnr after gnr was done, and to fight to continue to make new music regardless of what everyone tells him, or how much time has past.

'i want be told anymore,
that ive been brought down in this storm,
and left so far out from the shore,
that i cant find my way back anymore'

"always thought it was about Axl wiching Slash & Duff well on their future endevors."/

i never really thought about that before, but that would make sense of the other part of the chorus:

'if we ever find it soon,
that we have the strength to choose
to free the ball and chain
we hold together'

you could interpret that as him talking about them still trying to make music independantly with out the stigma of gnr hanging over them.

other then that, i think every other song is about stephanie seymour, or maybe stephanie seymour and the band, basically it seems like axel thinks everyones done him wrong

[DCGNR2006]

Does anyone think the Movie Quotes and strange sequence in the middle of Madagascar will be removed for the album?
Just about everyone who has ever heard this song thinks it to be a great, creepy, power-ballad type a la Zeppelin or something,
and just about everyone looks confused when the movie quotes & MLK start speaking.

I actually hope they keep it in at this point, only because I'm so damn used to it -

[misterID]

At first I thought Madagascar was their best song. Since the leaks I have to say Maddy is a strong filler.

[dave-gnfnr2k]

I can understand some people may not like Madagascar Because of one thing: the rythm box instead of real drums. I think it's a huge mistake for this song. Madagascar doesn't sound the best it can. They should use real drums and a different tempo. If I were Axl, I wouldn't use a rythm box. However the keyboard intro+ the middle with speachs sound great.
An advice: download "the blues", especially the RIO 2001 version, the best one ever of that song. This is the best new gn'r song IMO.

we have only heard the live version, wait for the studio.

[Krispy Kreme]

It's a great song, the best of the new songs before the recent leaks. Still strong, definitely not filler in any way. I still love it.

[McDuff]

I like most of the new songs but I can't stand Madagascar,I don't know why,I hope the studio version will be better than the live version 

[HungerForChaos]

At first I thought Madagascar was their best song. Since the leaks I have to say Maddy is a strong filler.

How about more like a weak epic? Definately not filler material, it's better than that.

[Jeramy]

i love the song, it reminds me of later zeppelin

[MR W,AXL ROSE]

maddy is one of the best new songs to be heard.its intro is so mezmarizing,the movie quotes are not different to what gnr have done in the past.look at civil war,kohd and some others i cant think of.i say keep them.
