Title: Oh My God Post by: willow on November 05, 2023, 08:45:13 AM I know it's been talked about before, but this is basically a lost song. Hardly ever gets a mention. I just went on Spotify and couldn't believe how low the plays are on it. 251,686! That is sad! Axl's first attempt without Duff and Slash. I fucking love this song. Yeah, the movie was a flop but personally I think the song is brilliant. Am I the only one? lol
Title: Re: Oh My God Post by: Steve McKagan on November 05, 2023, 09:48:19 AM The reason for low plays can be that it's not available everywhere. Here in Sweden it's not.
Title: Re: Oh My God Post by: willow on November 05, 2023, 10:30:18 AM I actually have looked a couple of times for it and it wasn't there before. Today when I wanted to listen to it, I found it.
Title: Re: Oh My God Post by: Michael on November 05, 2023, 10:37:59 AM It's not in Denmark on Spotify, but I play it at least 50 times a year since 1999 from my digital copy on my hdd!

Title: Re: Oh My God Post by: PermissionToLand on November 05, 2023, 07:54:18 PM I did not like it at first, but I've since come to appreciate it. It actually rocks pretty hard and has a cool riff. Some killer lines by Axl, too. "What can I do when there's so many liars that crawl through your veins like millions of spiders".
I wish they did more with the outro though. That bit about "Like the tides out on the ocean, the wave's already set in motion" has a really cool vibe but it passes so quickly. Reminds me of the outro to CD. Title: Re: Oh My God Post by: juck01 on November 06, 2023, 02:00:58 AM It's a great song, but underrated. I don't know why they don't play it live.
Poetically, it describes the struggle in Axl's mind so vividly that while it is his experience, it sounds like me. Title: Re: Oh My God Post by: ITARocker on November 06, 2023, 03:03:26 AM Great lyrics and overall a very good song. The studio version has a very muddy sound tbh. I'd like to listen to a more polished version of it (not only the vocals).

I'd like to listen to a more polished version of it (not only the vocals). I think that might have been part of the problem. Axl was probably forced to finish early on it for the movie and he maybe was never happy with it. but overall I love it. lol Title: Re: Oh My God Post by: Vezara on November 06, 2023, 04:24:14 AM I love the song! Its not a spoon full of sugar when you first hear it, but when it gets into your ear it is amazing. I always wondered why I cannot find the official version... my conclusion is that it has not been officially released because it still sounds like a demo...
Title: Re: Oh My God Post by: gcluskey on November 06, 2023, 05:58:03 AM Its not available on Spotify in Ireland
Title: Re: Oh My God Post by: D-GenerationX on November 06, 2023, 11:22:21 AM I have always sort of dug it. I think the live version from RIR III is excellent.
But, let's not bury the lede here. It doesn't sound one bit like Guns N' Roses. That's going to kill whatever life it may have had. Title: Re: Oh My God Post by: MrMojoRa on November 06, 2023, 07:12:52 PM I love Oh My God. Most underrated song in GN'R catalog. Title: Re: Oh My God Post by: Wooody on November 07, 2023, 09:12:15 AM I disliked it at first but came to love it...
Title: Re: Oh My God Post by: jbuch on November 07, 2023, 11:53:19 PM I think the live version from Rock in Rio III is amazing.
Title: Re: Oh My God Post by: AdZ on November 08, 2023, 02:11:51 AM This song goes hard, I wish they'd play it live.
Title: Re: Oh My God Post by: D-GenerationX on November 08, 2023, 01:55:50 PM I think the live version from Rock in Rio III is amazing. He clearly comes in late on the outro. But because of it, that last line is just his voice with no band. And I think it sounds amazing. Title: Re: Oh My God Post by: gcluskey on November 08, 2023, 10:26:11 PM I never hear this version before with Bumblefoot guitar
