Is Oh My God the only good quality CD outtake?

[norway]

Didn't fit to CD I guess...

I love this stuff, I wish they do more of it. Very heavy and powerful.

i agree with ya on that,
 i hope that the re-tooled version makes an appearance on either a b-side or possibly even the next batch of tunes on cd2

Axl said, a long time ago tho, that the second album would be diferent than the first.

So, keep checking back for those new fans.



There is a distinct difference in sound. The second leans probably a little more to aggressive electronica with full guitars, where the first one is definitely more guitar-based.

When I think of it, I have actually been waiting for the second album all the time.

Right after CD came out, I burned a copy for the car and replaced SR w/ OMG just as a test. It flowed much better.

That's sacreligious. Shackler's Revenge is one of the best songs on the album....

Agreed! Shackler's rocks.

[Moonlight J]

The "Shack" is my favorite rocker on the album. A beast.

Argueably, couldn;t Sympathy for the Devil be lumped into produced and released single not to go on CD, thus by definatition an out-take

[AxlsMainMan]

I don't think Sympathy for the Devil was really recorded for the follow-up to UYI, whereas the version of Oh My God on the End of Days soundtrack is supposedly a demo according to Axl, thus leaving people to suppose the final version would surface on a future Gn'R release.

[younggunner]

OMG is a great song.I have been listening to it a lot lately.

I lump Sympathy together with The Spaghetti Incident.  I mean, Slash is on it, it's a cover, and it was the next thing to follow TSI.

[wight gunner]

Fair enough, I'd go with that. OMG is a demo , IIRC it was a single too.

Ok it might be a raw version, but with Axl's reknown quality driven attitude, I can't imagine that he released without being happy with it, or was this another GH moment where the record company released it regardless of what anybody thought.

I'd be inclined to believe that OMG will be left as is, not to appear on an album (other than a GH2) it would have worked well on CD in my view. It's not like it has any particular hold like Don't Cry and demands reworking into an improved/different version.

I love Oh my God, but it really sounds like a demo, why? I'm sure we all would love a new version.



Because that's all it was, only at the time having just got it together only Jimmy Iovine knew that who wanted it to sell their soundtrack. I saw segments of the movie which were good. As a whole later not so much but it wasn't ready yet then. I did write an experimental piece inspired by the bits I'd seen called "Daddy Can the Devil do Mommy and me?"

 Not to me. But then again I dislike CitR greatly and most people disagree with me.

tru dat!

Perfect lyrics, heavy music, headbanging pre-chorus or what to call it.


The singing is some of the best stuff he has done in his carreer imo.




I like the demo-sound of it,-
- Axl, the villain of rock, shines so much more through than on the polished vocals we hear on CD.

You can hear he is close to the vocals as he sings it, then it's added an filter on it.

The result is you can hear his distinct, whining voice, whining himself up into a full-blown, passionate yet intelectual tantrum.

You can hear him as he takes a breath, when he looses his breath finishing a line, you can him snarl on the recording.


Thats a perfect blend into the lyrics and aggressive rythmics of the song.
It just gives me goozbumbs when he reaches a certain emotional climax, but still melodicly controlled belts out;

 if only you had let me know.



The "oooooh!" overdub gives the listener a great feel of the musical aspect and beat of the song,-
- as if inviting you to come along for the ride, very street.

It's just a great song, wish they do more of this stuff in the future.



It's certainly not listpop,-
- and more intriguing to listen to via a headset.

But it has a great vibe to it for the mainstream audience aswell.


Such melodic vocals, so hatefull and pissed off and yet so obviously vulnerable. Clever lyrics.

OMG was the first step of the new era of GNR, Axl's back. At that time, when I listened it on the Radio I was shocked. didn't get what Axl was doing, the song was horrible and noisy, it had nothin to do with Guns n' Roses. What is that  industrial shit? I asked myself. I really hated that song those days, now I think it's ok, I don't hear it much, but Chinese Democracy compensated that first impression.

[GNR_Green]

Would love a new recording of Oh My God.

[helenluna]

OMG is awesome. At least for those who are into the heavier stuff and miss the more aggressive GnR. And not only for Guns fans. My husband is not much into GnR but one of these days I was listening OMG and he came from his room to ask me what it was. And when I said it's GnR he was amazed, said if Guns had followed that style he would be a huge fan by now. It's a killer track, even though it's a bad quality demo, it impresses a lot of people. My husband is a death/doom metal listener but he has a very broad musical taste so ever since he liked the song I started to give more value to it (as if I could, it already was my favorite newGNR song).

Other song that I'd love GnR to remake is Crash Diet. It's such a wasted song!

Obviously we are all holding our breath for the next record. Axl said Soul Monster was mean, he said the whole next record would be darker and heavier (sorry if those are not the right words) and when he said that I pictured songs like OMG and Silkworms, with better production, with this new kick-ass line-up. Aggressive, punch-to-the-face, direct lyrics, heavy guitar and synthesizers. I'm looking forward to it.
