Quote This is a reply i had today from the jo whiley show. im kinda happy about it Thanks for your email. Thanks for your request for Guns n' Roses - Oh My God, we realise this is some kind of fan campaign and this same e-mail has been sent to the first few people who e-mailed about this song recently.So far we have recieved 36 e-mails requesting us to play 'oh my god', we realise the popularity of Guns n' Roses and would like to play this song, however we need close to 300 e-mails for a song thats not currently on the playlist to be considered for airtime, but given the amount of interest in Guns n' Roses over the last few months if you can get that amount of genuine e-mails into us by Monday 18th of August we will give the song one play, if it proves popular with listeners it could end up on the regular playlist.

Edit Emailed. Title: Re: Trying to Get "Oh My God" played on Radio 1 Uk Post by: axl32rose on August 13, 2008, 07:23:12 PM Email Sent
This is a good idea.~~~ I am also sending an email to my local Radio Staion here in Sydney Cape Breton requesting this song to be played Hey, why not request it on SIRIUS/XM Radio as well Title: Re: Trying to Get "Oh My God" played on Radio 1 Uk Post by: ben9785 on August 13, 2008, 07:26:24 PM I've also sent an email.
For sure we should try to contact all our local radio stations and try to get this song on air, especially leading up to the release of "Shacklers Revenge". Title: Re: Trying to Get "Oh My God" played on Radio 1 Uk Post by: axl32rose on August 13, 2008, 07:32:43 PM Thats what im doing now,
Hell, it can't hurt anything Hopefully we can more us members here to do the same thing. :peace: anyone else in??? : ok: Title: Re: Trying to Get "Oh My God" played on Radio 1 Uk Post by: ben9785 on August 13, 2008, 07:39:14 PM Thats what im doing now, Hell, it can't hurt anything Hopefully we can more us members here to do the same thing. :peace: anyone else in??? : ok: No can't hurt at all If i've a chance over the weekend I'll send some emails around. Title: Re: Trying to Get "Oh My God" played on Radio 1 Uk Post by: Gargh! on August 13, 2008, 09:17:22 PM The only problem I can see is that if it gets some play now prior to Shackler's Revenge folk might get confused and think that OMG is the new song. People are thick, remember.

Title: Re: Trying to Get "Oh My God" played on Radio 1 Uk Post by: freddiebrph on August 14, 2008, 11:11:24 AM Why go through the trouble of getting a 10 year song on the radio now? People did not like it back then, and they wont today! Lets wait until SR is released on the game. Hopefully it will be good and Axl will wake up, and put it on the radio. New day, new song
Title: Re: Trying to Get "Oh My God" played on Radio 1 Uk Post by: ppbebe on August 14, 2008, 11:28:39 AM yay, I love the song.
300 mails to hear OMG on the radio show. why not! People, please mail them! Title: Re: Trying to Get "Oh My God" played on Radio 1 Uk Post by: St_Jimmyuk on August 14, 2008, 01:42:02 PM sending it now!
Several of my friends have also emailed as well Should ask them to make clear that this is not a new guns track! Title: Re: Trying to Get "Oh My God" played on Radio 1 Uk Post by: markreed on August 14, 2008, 03:21:50 PM I'd rather see Shacklers Revenge on the radio. At the least that way people can hear the fruits of the bands work. Oh My God is nine years old, and whilst - to me - it still sounds fucking brilliant - I wouldn't want people to think OMG is the 'new' Guns track.
Title: Re: Trying to Get "Oh My God" played on Radio 1 Uk Post by: GNRVahland on August 14, 2008, 04:10:57 PM I've got a funny feeling that we will not here it anymore. It's the most forgotten GNR song in the Netherlands and that's a shame.
Let's wait for the new album; we can hold our breath. I can feel it.... : ok: (Despite of what other Gunners say or complain : I love the mods around here. I don't understand them always but they do what they stand for; "This is our site, this is the forum and these are the rules. If you don't like them then JUST DON"T COME HERE or make your own site !" Keep up the good work; people around here have a backbone and believe in what they are doing ! Title: Re: Trying to Get "Oh My God" played on Radio 1 Uk Post by: micfac on August 15, 2008, 05:24:35 AM this is mad people shacklers out in 4 weeks we should emailing to get airplay for that nothing else
Title: Re: Trying to Get "Oh My God" played on Radio 1 Uk Post by: St_Jimmyuk on August 15, 2008, 07:16:27 AM when (if its actually a single) shacklers comes out it will get airtime just because it will without anyone doing anything so i think its a good idea to get airtime of a gnr song that most people will have never even heard.
Title: Re: Trying to Get "Oh My God" played on Radio 1 Uk Post by: norway on August 17, 2008, 02:51:20 AM I love OMG but whats the point? Very soon we hear new GunsN'Roses songs to radio. :peace: Title: Re: Trying to Get "Oh My God" played on Radio 1 Uk Post by: spunton on August 18, 2008, 05:59:30 PM I think the last thing Guns n Roses need is OMG to be played on Radio 1.
Its ok but alot of people will think this is new and a Chinese Democracy tune. Hold out for the new stuff which will hopefully rock not an old outtake, a new version of Omg would rock, sounded different when played played live.

Title: Re: Trying to Get "Oh My God" played on Radio 1 Uk Post by: anythinggoes II on August 20, 2008, 03:06:24 AM not much of a groudswell to get this played huh? Its hardly in the same league as WTTJ now is it, there was no video for this song, it was released as Part of a movie soundtrack, there was no single, there was no tour at the time, the song is nowhere near as good as WTTJ. So No not much Groundswell for this Title: Re: Trying to Get "Oh My God" played on Radio 1 Uk Post by: gilld1 on August 20, 2008, 01:07:33 PM OMG is a horrible song. Why would you want it on the radio? This song would drive more people away from the band than it would draw to it.
Title: Re: Trying to Get "Oh My God" played on Radio 1 Uk Post by: St_Jimmyuk on August 20, 2008, 02:54:21 PM people are entitled to their opinions but personally i think their are loads of bad songs played on radio 1 that do not to well for bands publicity and the fact that some people like them seem to be enough to get them played. i like OMG, yeah its not GNR's best song but its no reason why is should not be played.
And as for saying we should wait and ask for the new song to be played when its out, that's rubbish Shacklers Revenge (or whatever the first single will be) will get air time just because it will be a new song (which radio 1 are hot on) and a lot of radio 1 DJ's like GNR and it will be in the charts so will have to be played so its rubbish saying all that because someone not liking OMG will not stop them liking any of the new gnr's songs when they hear them |
