IrishgunnerII Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 (edited) This popped into my head over the weekend as I was listening to the UYI albums in full(In full means all the way through) for the first time in ages and songs I assumed I knew the lyrics to but going on what I was hearing from the CD I clearly didn't know them or had forgotten them. I'm talking about songs like Breakdown and Locomotive where I can always hum the song but clearly the lyrics were misheard. So what GNR songs did you think you knew but on further inspection it seems you didn't. I'm not talking about songs where you know the lyrics but mess up the timing.

megaguns1982 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Oh my god, is a good example of this- every website has the wrong lyrics for the first verse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh My god ? Are there official lyrics out there for it ? I'll be honest I wouldn't know them off by heart.

It's because those incorrect lyrics are taken straight from the End Of Days closed captions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

31illusions Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) Yes there are handwritten lyrics to Oh My God by Axl. I did a google search. It's a yellow piece of paper with Las Vegas printed at the bottom. Always (and still do) thought on PC Axl was singing "I must be losing my (falling heart), are you blind? Like it was just a mistake, but others say they always heard the correct lyrics. Must just be me. Edited July 2, 2018 by 31illusions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was listenin' to shotgun blues, thinkin' about dedicatin' it to MSL n' his gang after all these leaks, and I realized that i only remembered the "YOU, YOU CAN SUCK MY ASS" part. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sheet music/guitar tabs for Oh My God also had the incorrect lyrics I'm guessing Axl wasn't being cooperative with providing them, so the label just took a guess 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The line has always clearly sounded like "I must be losing my mind, are you blind" without question from the first time I heard the song. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectricTear Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) I always sing wrong things YCBM, I mean that I sing correct lines but in wrong place. Same happens in November Rain, I always screw it up like Axl did in RIR 2011. Edited July 2, 2018 by ElectricTear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cantona Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I don't like reading lyrics, so even though I've listened to CD a thousand times, I still don't know the (full) lyrics to Catcher and Riad. Axl sings in a weird way pronounciation wise in that album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
