Madagascar

[gandra]

Madagsacar is one of the Axls deepiest songs!!1
I like it a lot,especialy rio version
Just try to understand song,i think it's axl biography(1993-2001) song

[You Gonna Eat That?]

I still think it's better than the recent leaks.

[Sparksry]

The thing witht his song is it hasnt been studio leaked yet so it could have changed greatly from what you guys last herd of it ..... But i do agree its one of his deepest songs but not one of the best of the new CD 

[gnr_12]

The lyrics are good.. If it is re mastered.. it can be better than all of the other leaks.. but the organ like sound isnt helping much..

[St_Jimmyuk]

i love this song, can't wait to hear a studio version (if there will be one) although not leaked id prefer to pay for it along with the rest of the cd album
this song seems so great especially the solo which i love

[1987]

did anyone esle think that madagascar sounded heavier this time around.. than the version played on the 02 tour?  or was it just me?  twat was def much heavier than the demo

[younggunner]

yes it def was heavier along with twat and better

[gandra]

for me madagascar is excellent song,very deep text,very good solos and very good point

Madagascar is the 2nd best song from the new GN'R, it's in 2nd place to The Blues, which hold's the No.1 spot 

i wrote that back in January 30, 2005 

Better and IRS, T.W.A.T have all overtaken Madagascar. The Blues is still up there though with da best

OK, we've discussed how Madagascar may have been written during the Illusion tour.  Well, we can put that rumor to rest.  I was re-visiting Axlette's page, the one with pictures of her visit to Axl's house, and it was back in '99.  Well, Axl let her listen to a song that they just wrote, titled Madagascar.  I wonder how that version sounded?

Man I just checked out her page and it seems so familiar.  I must have checked it out back in the day.  How did she get a personal invite to Axl's?

[Chandler]

Wasn't due to her fan site?

[dangnr]

Lyrically I love Madagascar. Plus the song has a vibe that is totally original from anything out there now, I Pray to God that this is on the album that end solo with the audio from MLK and various movies gives me goose bumps!!!

[newgnr]

I think Madagascar has great potential....only if played with guitars!! if the main beat/rhythem/intro were guitar based and not looped/machine/keyboards/computer crap, it would be much better.

Madagascar's problem is that it has no HUMAN SOUL.  The rhythem has no human touch, it's computer/loop generated.  Like a robot...it's just there...ahhh I know what i'm tryin to say: no PERSONALITY!!!

[Olorin]

Madagascar Rio 3 has plenty of soul, its magical. And Axl introduces and sings it beautifully.

[bolton]

Maadagascar from rio is amazing

[The Prez]

I think Madagscar is the best song so far from the new album. I really like it a lot! It will be a huge nr. 1 if they bring it out!!!

Also, I like the blues, but I hate the end of that song...i do not know...it's like they didn't know how to end and it's just like they fuck it always up there. It stops so suddenly.

So, IMO Madagascar: TOPSONG 1st CLASS!!!!!!!!

where can I find this page from "axlette" who visited axl?

[hackvresse]

ha I found it but it is strange - why did axl invite her ?

[andypa1]

Hi, guys upto today i just accepted that the song was called the same thing as a country. So i tried to find out things about the country that make it stand out and make it applicable to the story of madagascar. I didnt find anything interesting, however i found this

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madagascar_%28ship%29

A ship called madagascar, it traded with China and India, Its a legend whether it happened or not but apparently the crew gave up on the captain and killed him and ran off with gold.

Just read the article, anyway i havent a clue why the songs called madagascar do you?

p.s. on tour in 2006 dunno which concert before playing it, axl says look it up on a map. Dunno if that makes my theory crap.
