Is Oh My God the only good quality CD outtake?

[MattyJam]

As a relatively new fan (I've only been familiar with GNR's music since late last year) I've now exhausted their fairly small back catalogue and have even gotten into VR in the process.

I checked out Oh My God the other day which is completely awesome! I would've loved for this to have been on the album and in my opinion, it's miles better than songs like If The World or Scraped.

Anyway... are there more outtakes from this era or is Oh My God the only one?

Outtake? The song was released on a soundtrack ten years ago. I was there when the clip leaked. Welcome to the GN'R family! I don't see how anyone can exhaust their back catalogue, though.

That's the only one that's been officially released in physical form.  They played "Silkworms" live in 2001/02.  That would be the only other "new" song that's been heard from the band.  Of course they've played some kick ass covers as well.  Check out their cover of "Sailing" if you haven't yet.  It's fantastic.

So was it never meant for inclusion on CD?

Out of curiousity, who plays on this track?

Axl, Paul Tobias, Josh Freese, Dizzy Reed, Tommy Stinson and Robin Finck

Additional guitars by Dave Navarro & Gary Sunshine


"Musically the song was primarily written by Paul Huge over two years ago," Rose wrote. "With Dizzy Reed writing the musical hook of the chorus.

"Robin's part," he explained, "was written by Paul and extensively manipulated by our producer, Sean Beaven. Robin was not involved in the writing of the final recording though did participate in the arrangement. All lyrics were written by myself. Additional programming (jack boots, screeching tires, etc.) was by Stuart White."

- Axl, September 1999.

+1, the same for Silkworms. I don't want it on the next album. B-side is the best way to go in my opinion.

I dont know.  I think silkworms sucks as is.  I felt the same about Rhiad and was disappointed it was going to be on the album.  BUT, the version on CD is awesome, and I would love to hear OMG and SW re-worked. Although I thought OMG was decent when I first heard it

[lennonisgod]

I've always loved 'Oh My God'... but it gets no respect from a lot of people.

[Lafayettecopssuck]

i think oh my god would have gone really nicely before better

The weird thing is, Robin disowned the song and insists he had nothing to do with the recording.

IF OMG were on CD it would be in my top 5 on the album

[babydolls]

I love OMG - its a GREAT track, would love to hear it if its been reworked on, or live...!  I think when I was at the 2002 Docklands London show they started playing the intro, but didnt play the song - tease! 

[MattyJam]

I love Axl's vocals on this track... very AFD-era.

[Lord Kayoss]

A studio version of Silkworms would be interesting.

I agree Rhiad sucked when I heard it live, but was much better on the album.
