Madagascar thread

[CheapJon]

for me, i think that though it certainly is "mighty" it's the weakest for me on the record



sidenote* please axl, we need OMG

So Madagascar sucks, but OMG is a great song?

 

hello, i don't know who you are or where you left your brain sorry

my opinion is that it's the weakest song on this record, that doesn't mean i think it sucks since the record has such high standards, another opinion of mine is that there could have been more asskicking rock songs, like OMG, a song that is very very underrated IMO

[Olorin]

Oh My God is one my favourite new GNR songs, whats not to like?

Madagascar doesnt seem to be have been produced to the same quality as other songs. The guitars and strings at some parts seem far to low in the mix. Bucketheads solo is drowned out by the samples which is odd.

Its the one song I keep going back to even though I've played it to death over the years.

[ThatGuy]

i love how its slowed down a bit and i love the new drums during the sample and solo.  mastered version sounds great.

[DarkKnight]

why is the song called madagascar?
sorry if this is a stupid question.

always thought it was called madagascar because he feels isolated,lost kinda like he's on a small island and cant find his way of it.
dont really think its a political song.

Yup... this song has to be about the break-up of the original band.  "Forgive them that tear down my soul"... gotta be.

I just walked in and it was playing(im a weirdo and leave the radio on all day for my dog while Im gone) on 97.9 loop in Chicago. The DJ commented that he loved the song, got the album over the weekend, and had to listen to it a few times before getting into it as a whole. He said maddy was his fav cut. I myself took a few listens with most all the songs also exept for maybe Better and TWAT which hooked me from the get.

Any other songs being played anywhere?

[VerbalAssualt]

Yeah man, to add to ur comment, I heard prostitute on the loop as well. The dj playing it loves the cd and played almost every song I think over the course of the weekend, pretty sweet.

[The Catcher]

I fucking hate how people call it "maddy", it's disguisting
Anyway, interesting that Prostitute is getting airplay, that's probably the least radio friendly song on the album. Extremely complex.

[LIGuns]

Heard Pretty Tied Up on SIRIUS Hair Nation today....

[RitzWalker8]

Boston,MA area:

extremely complex? i wouldn't go that far. i can't really say what i really think about that song because my comment would just be deleted but i think with a title like Prostitute it could have been ALOT better.

as far as radio goes the station i listen to suck but its either listen to them or a station that doesn't even play Metallica because they're "to hard" or listen to a even softer rock station and i just can't take that shit

so no i haven't heard any other song on the radio besdies CD. I've tried telling them that Better is out now too but they claim that its not and that the other stations i've refered too probably have gotten a siece and decist letter i just wanna call 'em up and say fuck you i know what i'm talking about but i like winning shit off them

however, i was shocked when i heard that this one radio station i just happen to flip through at my work that usually plays the "hottest jams" say that CHINESE DEMOCRACY came out. but after that the dj just talked shit for the next 2 minutes

i hate Nebraska.....

92.3 K Rock in NYC/NJ Played the whole album without interuption twice over the weekend and played every song off the album several times over the course of the weekend every hour on the hour...I heard Prostitute about 4 times, same with just about every song on the album...

[Smoking Guns]

If I heard Madagascar on the radio while driving I would probably fall asleep and kill somebody.  Kidding, but not really single material if you ask me.  Same with Catcher in the Rye. 

[Annie]

I've only been playing theCD in my car so I haven't been listening to the radio.

[spyder8739]

 The dj's in milwaukee on 102.9 the hog HATE Chinese Democracy. I called in to request Better when it came out on radio, and the "Gasman" was like "You like that piece of crap? They should call it Much Much Worse. But hey, this isn't about me, it's about you guys. I guess I can play it for you."  I was like WTF?

[LordRazZ]

Madagascar "maddy...haha" was playing on Y 108 in toronto as well....I'd just missed it, and caught patience instead.

From what I've heard, Radio stations are saying fuck it, and just playing whatever songs they want. I've also hear that This I love has been played quite a bit.

This is DEFINITELY a good thing for the band and the album.

Kinda off the original topic, but in-line with your question.

As a kid, I went to a rural school. We had a long driveway I had to walk down to meet the bus. Anyway, in the wintertime, I could hear music. I thought I was insane. If it were just quiet enough, I could make out music and voices and everything. I finally asked my dad about it, feeling I was nuts.

Turns out, our neighbor, about 3/4 of a kilometer away, leaves the radio on 24/7 for his cattle in the barn during the winter.
