Here Today... Gone To Hell!

I really like this song
its a great song and Axl?s vocals are 100% better now than at RIR 3 and 02 Tour
nice song to put before Better on the setlist

a question, if they decide to put OMG on CD, will Axl re-record his vocals?

I too love this song and hope its on CD. I wish they would play it live.

I agree, i think its a great song. It does sound a bit dated though, like it belongs on a NIN album or something. Not sure about Axls vocals, he sounds very artificial. If it was included on CD i think it would sound like a completly different song. Who knows!

I love the song, but I dont wish it to be on CD.
we already know at least 6 of 13 songs...
I dont want omg taking up room.
I hope a better version leaks tough...

I miss it too.  :crying:

I love the track, and I loved it when it was played live in 2001. I'm almost certain it would be a re-recorded version if it was to appear on Chinese Democracy.

Sadly the chances of that happened are tiny ?:no:

its a favourite newer song of mine - i think it rocks.  Maybe it could be a B-side on one of the next singles???  That would be fantastic - I reckon the whole band would tear it up live they way they are currently performing....

i sceamed that up to axl lastnight and it did not work lol

Did you ask him to play the song, or just scream "Oh My God!, Oh My God!".  ??? :hihi:

Oh jesus no. I mean, it's a great song. I love it. The major complaint is the chorus... And Jesus. Get over it. It's not a chorus! Like Breakdown. The 'breakdown...' bit isn't really a chorus as such, because it isn't that kind of song. Just because it has the title of the song in it, christ.

The reason that it probably won't make the cut though is because that incarnation of the band is too different from the current lineup, and the album wouldn't flow. Having guests on the album, such as Brian May, for the odd song would be great. But changing the lineup mid album? Hmm. It would, of course, make a great b-side.

I don't want it live and I don't want it on the record.

I want TWAT and Madagascar (played by Buckethead) on the record.  :yes:

it`s from 1999....   most other songs we know were written then as well

we even have the irs, twat and catcher in the rye demos from 1999



i think they should play it live again. i guess it was on the options list in 2002 as they played the intro at various shows (london in august for example...)

Yes, but none of those songs were formally released. I mean, to include Oh My God would be as if it were a cover version. Re-recording the leaks at some time or other makes sense, re-recording a previously released song does not. Because, as far as Axl's vision goes, we can assume that Oh My God as we have heard it was how it was supposed to end up.

Dizzy has already said that they've recorded a newer version with current lineup (minus Bumblefoot I suppose) of that song so if they would re-release it, it would be that version and nothing do with Navarro, Freese or Sunshine.

Btw, I just love that song, and I too miss it.

Did they??? do you remember when in the set?  I was there and I dont recall at all - must dig out the bad quality boot i have lurking at home...

Personally I'd like to hear the new band tear up those two songs on the album.  As for OMG:  I agree w/ Jim - It was already officially released, so re-recording it would be like doing a cover..

I'd still like to hear it though, as I love that song, which apparently, some don't.. :-\

well, i don't

ps: I?m NOT saying that axl?s vocals at OMG is bad, don?t get me wrong, I love it, but we can see that his strong voice aree better now than before

I'd rather see a re-recorded version of OMG on CD then for example CITR or madagascar

Since Madagascar is one of my favorite songs, I would have to disagree.. CITR is a good song too.. so I'm personally on the fence about the whole 'Oh My God' thing.

You're one of the few that miss that song... ..let me guess, you miss silkworms too right?

whaddya mean by that?

Yes, I love to hear silkworms live too. :yes: It's very different from oh my god tho.

Well let me see....there're already more than fifteensh posters saying they miss the song...so few is not the word.

Yeah, I didn't get the comparison either. I was never a big Silkworms fan but I definately miss Oh My God.

what are you trying to say? it?s all GNR

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQrxF-ORIm8  Bucket head was fantastic in this video

enjoy...

I think the new band could really nail this song... plus I think Axl has the chops back to pull off the vocals live.

Songs a hidden gem if you can grasp the lyrics.

Indeed. The lyrics are up there with Civil War and CITR as some of Axl's finest. It surprises me that the song is as lyrically complex as it is, given the fact that it was the public's first look at the beta-version of New GNR.

Anyway, I totally miss the song - Someone should yell out for them to play it at one of the concerts, just to see what happens. Richard confirmed in a roundabout way that he'd rehearsed the song back in '02, so maybe there's hope to see it live again.

they need to bring it back....one of the best!

Oh My God should defently be played live, maybe not every concert, but off and on.

It's a shame how underated this song is, because it's fantastic.  Awesome lyrics, great music, there's so much going on in it!  I pefered the live version though with the changes they made to the end, but the stuido version is awesome as well.

I wouldn't want to see it on CD, since we've already heard so much off the album, it'd be taking time away from a song that we haven't heard yet... but if it was going to be on there I guess I wouldn't mind.  I'd rather see it on a b-side to a single though.

i dont think there will be a "better" version of oh my god leaking, considering that the verison on end of days is THE version...mastered, album version...

It was released once 7 years ago. Why would they do it again?

It is my understanding that they tweaked the song a bit....I dig it either way...very angry and real.....maybe someone can play that song in church.... :hihi:...... :peace:

Yeah, I miss Silkworms too, you parasidic demon.

No I think this is a great song also, I'd love to see a re-recorded version turn up somewhere, or the odd appearance in the live setlist again. It's a very unique song. I don't see how it could sound dated though. It's very different. I understand the obvious NIN vibe and influence but it does honestly sound like a very contemporary/modern update of GNR. It doesn't just sound like GNR mixed by NIN or whatever.. it works very naturally, it doesn't sound forced or overdone.

sucking acid through my heart

What can I do? ... with a bitch like YOU!

I'd love to hear that song live. Awsome tune. :smoking:

dude not cool stealing my next line like that, i thought you and me was the new baz n' axl of silkworms

The opening to Oh My God is one of the rawest, hardest and totally badass openings ever. Brilliant lyrics and vocals. From then on though ::) It simply lacks structure, the classic GN'R structure. The chorus is just weak, the solo uninspiring and without edge. If this song has been reworked the last couple of years it could have the potential of a killer.

i agree it has moments of greatness but overall i find it just ok. the lyrics are fantastic tho, too bad sometimes its hard to hear them cuz of all the vocal effects and stuff going on in the background.

Oh My God is absolutly one of my favorittttte Guns N`Roses songs! It rocks sooo much!
Hope to hear it sometime in the future, and on a forthcoming album.. maybe the second, or the third?  : ok:

i miss this song as well, would be great if they release it with CD but as a bonus track

Oh My God must be one of those songs that has to grow on you. I didn't like it at first.

I remember back when it debuted on the radio. They built it up for a week. After they played, the DJ goes, "Well, we're never going to play THAT again." For the next half hour, he kept airing calls where people were saying how terrible the song is.

That would be nice. I thought it was very underated.

Yeah, it was kind of sad it didn't gain any bigger momentum in 1999. I guess people weren't just ready...  :hihi:

yeah like 2 minutes after the last song on CD OMG kicks off in a re-recorded vesrion, just like "look at your game girl" after "i don't care about you" on TSI

Knowing Axl, all of Chinese Democracy would probably be hidden tracks :hihi:

Oh My God is one song that at 1st i could not stand it. It was new and i was still in to the older stuff. Then i would keep going but to it and like it more and more. Now i think it sould be on the album. Redone with this 06 line and be on CD. Its up there with Better and IRS mybe better then them. It just fuckin rocks. I love the remastered HOB live verson of it. Find it if you don't have it! : ok:

The song is moving, can't pay attention to details...

You know that it's true...

I do not miss "Oh My God".  It's an attempt to move GN'R's sound into a direction that simply fails.

That would be KICK ASS? : ok:


 :rofl:

Seriously though YES I miss Oh My God!
... and Silkworms? *ducks*

I'm mean it!? Those songs ROCK HARD!

Fuckin' A! I can understand why Silk Worms doesn't exactly jive with the casual fan, but that shit is a gem. Totally deserves a studiorelease. The part around the 2 minute mark with the synth is almost psychedelic. Pitman got some serious talent.

GN'R and Pitman forever.

Even if its not on CD, I desperately want to hear this song live.

Its easily ones of the best songs Axl has ever written : ok:

Silk Worms has potiential IMO, it just lacks a lot.  If it were reworked it could probably become a great song, but IMO it still sounded like an unfinished demo.  It doesn't have the potiental to be a chart topper, or the best song on CD, but it has the potiental to be a nice track that's better than a "filler" track.

Does anyone have a link for a download of oh my god?


Thanks,
Hatts

It's on the End of Days soundtrack which is also great.  I was just listening to it today. (rob zombie, Eminem, Powerman5000, Creed-lol, Limp Bizkit, Korn, Everlast, etc.).  ONe of the best soundtracks ever in my opinion.  And YES SILK WORMS and OH MY GOD both rock especially LIVE!

Kinda good song..Won?t be on CD, but i like it though !  : ok:

All I have I ask of you..

I'll be damned

Let's try this...........

Axl... please play "Oh My God" as a one off addition to the set list. You could play it in dedication to all the fans who have stuck with the band during this "Chinese Democracy" era. And it will further strengthen the bands bond with it's fans at HTGTH. : ok:

See my signature for the answer to that.

I see  :rofl:

Well, I thought i'd try!

Plus I am not bitching about the current setlist  : ok:

Someone should start to chant 'Oh My God' in the audience then.

can any take me to a leak where i could download this song?



Thanks,
Hatts

If it's not true

and then 2 minutes after OMG silkworms makes it's studioversion debut : ok: :yes: that would be great :peace:

i'd like to hear OMG without all the stuff on Axl's voice.........do agree, rather have it maybe on a B-side of one of the singles than on the album.....just cause of room that's all...

I'm a fan of OMG. And the live version was a vast improvement. Sadly, I think its time came and went. However, if they have a beefed-up version sitting around and it finds its way onto an album after CD I'll be happy.

A bitch like you

Auuugh!  I wish I was there - If I was there I would SOOOO do it!

OH!  MY!  GOD!

man i'm 1000+ miles from MSG and I'm psyched!


*ahem*  back to you regularly scheduled Silk Worms lyrics...

I personally love the song... one of my top five favorite gnr tunes! I wish they'd bring it back live... the vocals are outstanding as well as the lyrics, and the intric music.... awesome!

I'm not a huge fan of this song.  I think it sounds like Axl is experimenting with something that doesn't work with the GN'R sound.   It's not a bad song but not a GN'R song.  More like a Rob Zombie song.

Would you describe the 2 minute mark and funky techno beats or super funky techno beats?

Omg is a great song as are the rest of the newer 'leaks' but yet very different,i dont know if it will be on the this album but maybe on one of the other later albums as a re-recorded track

If there are any OMG fans going to the next gig, take a sign with Oh My God writen on it


 :peace:

Ultra funky techno beats  :smoking:

i love OMG. it's how i got back into GNR. my roommate at the time was big into hip hop and he told me "if axl rose pissed into a microphone you'd buy the recording."  but i loved the song and still listen to it all the time.

i think axl said something about regretting releasing it, and kind of being convinced to do so, and that sucks - but it meant a lot to me.

and also, it came with an awesome press release.

"The fight of good vs. evil, positive vs. negative, man against a seemingly undefeatable, undeterrable, unrevealed destiny, along with the personal and universal struggle to attain, maintain and responsibly manage freewill can be and often is frustrating to say the least."  -Axl Rose.
