I had to decide between Better and IRS now. I went with Better in the hope of keeping Madagascar alive for another round

Almost everything Lanegan does is awesome. I wonder how much he'll be involved if he is not the main singer.

Does anybody else suspect that this new show will at some point merge with the original?

I wonder why they changed the name of The Blues. Street of Dreams sound so cheesy in comparison.
I couldn't agree more

I remember people thinking Oklahoma was Riad many moons ago. Wasn't Ides of March first mentioned in 05 as well as Atlas Shrugged, Zodiac,etc.? That Spat article gave us quite a bit of info. I still say quick song is CD. Description fit it to a tee. Well, what CD sounded like back then anyways.
I just wish he'd hurry it up. I think time is running out on this thing.
I doubt that Oklahoma/Berlin is Riad or that Quick Song is CD. Axl mentioned those songs in the online chats after CD was released.

Oklahoma aka Berlin was mentioned very early on. What about Ides Of March? The Beltrami songs quoted in 2002 were all pretty hyped as well and they were known way before we heard of Better, Shakler''s, Scraped, ITW...

James Lofton wrote:Oh it was destined for CD. Every mythical track made it to the album. It was a few years later when song titles like The General, Atlas Shrugged,etc. reached that status.
Would have to check whispers but I would say most of the 'mythical' tracks were kept off CD. Of the Big Guns people used to refer to I'd say TWAT, Prostitute and possibly Catcher were the only ones to make it. The General, Seven, Thyme, Oklahoma, Atlas, Leave Me Alone all remain unheard.
In an alternate universe we may have got those all on one album but I think the leaks had a big say on what made the cut.
That's how I see it too.

Madagascar is one of my favorite tracks in the entire discography regardless of Axl's choice to sing it that way. Street of Dreams is the same, doesn't matter if they could have been better, they're both great to me.
I have no issue with the movie quotes either.
Madagascar is one of my all time GN'R favorites as well. I still remember the huge impression it had left on me when I first heard it at the VMAs live on TV (yes, that flawed performance). I don't have any issues with the album version either. For those who don't like the quotes, there is a version out there where they are removed..

"I have to write some copy this weekend on Guns 'N Roses for a feature to go with my photos. [...] If you tell the truth it sets off too many wars, or egos way out of control. The original line-up is supposed to play Download in June with their metal chums, Metallica, if Lars can be bothered to turn up." (Ross Halfin, 02/04/06)
New GN'R played Download that year. And by February that plan must have already been in motion along with everything else. 2006, after the leaks, was the year Axl tried to do what he failed in 2002 - release CD and make a successful comeback. I doubt that he would have been willing to forget about CD at that point and to go through with a reunion. Who knows where Halfin got that information from. Somethings might have been mixed up, or mis-interpreted by him.

Thank you for the link. I just read the whole article. I don't wanna participate in any Steven bashing, but when you read the whole thing it's nearly impossible not to understand why Slash and Duff won't play with him. If there ever should be a reunion tour, Steven will never ever be their drummer.
