The Flashback: *BONUS* - Oh My God

[norway]

It had it's moments. Gabriel Byrne as the Devil was pretty sweet

Yeah, fairly good acting and filming.

Religiously themed horroractionmovies can easily become weird with shallow charracters tho, which imo is the case here.

[19AT5]

I absolutely love this track! I think the intro is cool as hell and the chorus is absolutely slamming! Sure, it sounds very little like classic GNR, but I still think it kicks some serious ass!

Only down point is that the live versions appeared to lack a bit. I always felt Axl was struggling a little bit with this one. Still though, think the studio version is complete quality.

I thought the song was the best part of the movie.  Truth be told I fell asleep while watching the movie.

[Wooody]

At first I didnt like it to be honest. Then It grew on me.

I remember it came up on the radio, on a car, and I said to a friend (who was a big GNR fan), that's the new GNR !

And I remember to this day, the look of dread, and disgust, and disillusionment in his face,  like something inside of him died. 

[leagnr]

The song grew on me with the time, the moment i listened i didnt like it.

I really like the lyrics, i think the solos and especially the Dave Navarro final solo has nothing to do with the song but thats my opinion.

yes, it doesn't sound like GNR but at least it's a good song with a certain flow. it doesnt sound fabricated.

Where in the film is it? I start watching and within minutes I'm asleep, and never record it    Next time its on I will record it...

I HATED the song when it first came out, but I was just so happy to hear Axl Rose again.  But as time has gone on I actually do like it a bit.  I can't put my finger on why, but its catchy.  I still don't like a bunch of the lyrics though.  "What can I do when there's so many liars, That crawl through your veins, Like millions of spiders"    Conversely I will say that I love the final lyrics of the song "well its on with the show, Like the tide down on the ocean, The waves already set in motion, The only one in the game that's lost is you". 

For those who were not around back then waiting for a new GNR album it was an incredibly exciting time.  I remember the world premiere trailer of End Of Days that featured 'Oh My God' in the background during the VMAs.  I don't remember how, but I am quite certain that we knew ahead of time that 'Oh My God' would be featured in the trailer.  Hard to believe that was so long ago. 

[D-GenerationX]

The mix winds up being pretty busy, which I think can give the mistaken impression there is not a cool song under there.  Because there is.

Great lyrics, though sort of hard to understand.  And I think, a pretty decent chorus.

A lot of people really like that version from RIR III, and I'm among them.  I especially like the end, which appears to be a inadvertent goof by Axl.  He comes in a little late on that last salvo of lyrics.  So the band stops playing when they are supposed to, but Axl keeps singing.  It may be a mistake, but I think the finished product comes off great as you only hear his vocals for that last line.

Love the song, wish it was more of a live staple.  But, I doubt Axl can really pull it off these days.

Love the song, wish it was more of a live staple.  But, I doubt Axl can really pull it off these days.

I think he'd pass out before the first chorus. 

As far as the song goes, it's one of the most wicked tracks Axl's ever written, and the rhythm guitar is just awesome.

I would always chuckle at the set list posted from the soundboard that had 'Perfect Crime' as an option.

Be serious.

Great lyrics

I can see the headlines now, "Legendary Rocker Dies Mid Song"...

I think you're wrong.

Always been a fan of this song. I dont know if its just ARNOLD, but it reminds me of You could be mine, in a strange way. I would love to hear more GNR songs like this in the future.. leaning to the metal genre..

Thanks! Haven't seen that before.

Listening to Oh My God, I can't help but wonder how cool a GNR album filled with songs with that kind of sound would have been.

i agree.. i like the aggressive drift in the song.. always been a fan of that song..

[CheapJon]

I love it. I'd love an album full of aggressive songs like OMG. Lyrics are among the best Axl has written. Chinese Democracy lacked songs like this.  The version from RIR3 2001 is awesome. An updated version with some Robin/Bucket on it would be fantastic. 

Best GNR song since 91.
