i think the raspy vocals are not gonna make this one better; madagascar was one of my favs for a long time... but during the last tour, the blues and madagacar have gotten "new vocals", which i don't like too much; for the old and heavier new songs this raspy voice is perfect... but now madagascar sounds like tom waits gone wild... it's too exaggerated and over the top. kinda like a caricature of gnr by axl himself. hope he changes those vox... there's more to offer than the 2 extremes of "helium"-axl and this "i smoke 29 cigars a day"-voice, i hope...

Some people tend to get lost with their usual overanalysis and forget that a demo is an unfinished track and that maybe the final version will sound different. I could be wrong but I think it?s pretty normal that bands record different versions of a song to try different things or some kinda arrangements.That?s what demos are for, or atleast that?s what I?ve always heard,but my knowledge of recordings and stuff is quite little so I could be wrong.

Song is amazing.
Guitars are mindblowing.
It's clearly a demo with a once over with Axl's vocals. When they are engineered a bit raspier it will sound awesome. The second verse gives me goosebumps and the lead up to the middle part with the quotes.
I guess a little of the 'wow' factor was taken out because you kinda know what to expect from hearing it live. I bet the final version will just be mindblowing, but again the wow factor is taken off as we have heard this, which is the bad thing about the leaks. Great now but the feeling of listening to this awesome song for the first time when the CD comes out won't be there. Although I won't be able to help myself if there are, I pray for no more unheard song leaks.

drums are great. really impressed with the power behind it; the song will be even more powerful, when it's mixed properly... the vocals and the (not-)mixing are what make this version nothing but a demo...

This was a recording from before the 2002 tour.....maybe even way before that. They used the end of that song as a clip to promote the boston show in 2002.

Axl needs to lose the soundbytes. Seriously, MLK and the rest just sound dated and cheesy.
I don't like the intro to CD, I don't like the soundbytes here. I think they are masberatory and self important. AFD and Lies were great albums without any of these overpowering voice samples. RQ did have the moaning and whatnot, but not to this degree.
Also, didn't we get enough of the "What we've got here..." in Civil War, I mean C'mon!!!
My wife actually liked TWAT, Better and IRS. However, she literally laughed out loud at Madagascar. When the soundbytes cut in, she cracked-up, covered her mouth and said "I'm sorry baby, but that sucks."

I thought the same sing. It almost sounds like the Russian Roulette sings Maddy version thats on Youtube. But I like it overall, anything "new" from the studio is going to get me excited.
Chinese Democracy sounds like its going to be a killer tune.

To each his or her own. I think it helps make the song. The song tells a story. The lyrics are powerful stuff.

It's hard to tell how old this is but I'm thinking this is '04-'06 because in the beginning there are the two violin thingys, the added guitar solo from 1:57 to 2:27 and the new end solo that can be heard from 2:33 to 2:50 and 4:49 to 5:50 all these can be heard in the '06 version but not in the '01-'02 versions, and the main solo sounds like the solo Fortus plays, nothing like the solos Bucket did.

when the final mixing is done, the samples will sound cool; now - that's true - they are much, much louder than the solo, which makes this part quite a mess...

I am glad i wasn't the only one....haha....maybe Russian has had this demo for awhile, hence the similarities....or maybe axl himself was just so impressed by Russian's version it he decided to go with it......(jokes)

These songs consist of different parts recorded over the years. Just because one part is from 02 doesn't mean the whole recording is.
