jimisbatman Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I always wondered why people hated on OMG and couldn't understand why. IMO the vocals are very melodic and the industrial sound was a welcomed departure from the classic sound. My CD era go to songs are: OMG, TWAT (cd version), Maddy (MSL - due to the clearness of the multiple guitar parts simultaneously), Shacklers, Prostitute and Riad (antiquiet versions), Better (cd version with new live beginning sliced in).

Propaganda Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I love the song and I loved the movie! Gabriel Byrne did a hell of a job playing the devil. I think the song needs a totally different mix than what was done. It needs to be wider and less compressed. The guitars need to sound less electronic on the solos, the drums should be louder and the melody should be clearer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkarmy Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 In my top 5 GNR songs, a tie with Better for the CD era material. Totally bad ass and wish CD had more tunes in this vein of things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F*ck Fear Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I still wish we could have heard a proper recording of this song with Buckethead. The HOB version of this song is my favorite. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"people" at the time knew that axl solo album was going to be an utter and complete departure from GN'R sound, specially from appetite. believe me, no one was expecting appetite style music oh and please stop repeating this "Axl-wanted-to-advance-as-a-musician" nonsense what comes next? "axl had a vision"? if axl wanted to advance as a musician, why didnt he even go to the hundred rehearsals that his hired musicians did without him at the time? gimme a fucking break what axl apparently wanted was FULL AND UNDISPUTED CONTROL and he got it until the day that Geffen (or Universal or whatever other name his label had) got sick of watching him spend zillion dollars and do nothing and what Axl was apparently trying really hard to was FOLLOW WHATEVER TREND that was "hot" at the time so he could be in a place where "cool" people would look at him and say how "modern" and "current" and "advanced" he was Oh, and CD more complex than appetite? more complex how? just because it has 489 juxtaposed tracks on every song? gimme a fucking break 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azifwekare Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 This song is an absolute beast, and definitely has some of Axl's best lyrics. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Guapo Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Always liked it a lot, it sure was a surprise back then. I thought Axl would come out with a piano track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appetite4illusions Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I think, if you're coming at Guns N' Roses from a place of appreciating a relentless type of rock, you don't have a lot on Chinese Democracy to please you. Out of what we've heard from the new-band era, Oh My God is probably the closest thing in capturing the rocket-in-bottle energy and attitude.

tonsco Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 For me, it's kind of the perfect transition between UYI and CD.... It gave you 10 years to warm up for what was to come on CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papashaun Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Interesting fact concerning End of Days: Gabriel Byrne has to be a great diverse actor. Prior to End of Days, the movie he starred in directly before it was called "Stigmata" and he played a Priest.....The very next movie he stars in, is End of Days, and he plays Satan. But OMG was much better than the movie it's featured in, for sure!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
