Wrong songs has made it to the actual cd. To bad IMO OMG starts off great but as soon as Axl starts singing the song goes down hill. Why the vocal distortion? why the industrial sounding guitars as the vocals start? If the song would have built off the beginning it could have been good, but like a lot whats on CD the song just has too much going on. Sometimes less is more.

Flayer Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Why not the vocal distortion? Why not the industrial guitar sound? I think it's pretty great. I think the solo (or lack thereof) on the demo was the only area that could be improved, it sounded video-gamey and not really like a fit for the rest of the song.

LoadedNightraiN Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Everyone has to remember OMG was a demo, and a rough sounding one at thatIf it ever gets heard again, I'm sure it'll sound much different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROFLFOOT Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 I think omg is the best song they got. One of few tracks that actually sounds like a finnished product, and its still a demo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhazUp Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 OMG is one of my favorite post-97 songs GNR has done. Axl sounds great and the song is very aggresive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmygod Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Oh my god is fucking brilliant. In my opinion (if you dont like it, deal with it) it is one of THE BEST gnr songs ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROFLFOOT Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) Agree post 94 its right up there maybe the best!As mention by some of u. Axl sounds killer on it, awsome lyrics and really aggro all over. Edited July 12, 2012 by ROFLFOOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was a demo shame on Axl for releasing a subpar product under the GnR name. I think the song sounds like its suppose to, there is a reason it's not played live and didn't make it on Chinese. The general public didnt like it! I personally think the song had potential but Axl ruined with all the distortion, that's my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the song simply wouldn't fit with the other songs on CD. It's like having November Rain on Appetite.I think Oh my god is a great song. I like all the effects, it fits with the song. It sounds industrial, old and dusty. And the way Axl sings works perfectly with it.If they did the song live today though, I think Axl would need a 30 min break afterwards.

TeeJay410 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Oh my god is brilliant. Some of axl's best lyrics. Also, that video with Dexter set to Oh my god is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shotgunblues1978 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Oh My God is a very well written song (great lyrics, strong chorus, cool bridge, etc). But it needed more work on the production/mixing side. Really hope we get to hear the redone version some day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megaguns1982 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Seems everyone defends Oh My God saying its just a demo, But werent all of those leaks around 05 or whatever passed off as demos? Then finally cd dropped a few years later and all we got were the same Axl vocals, Mostly same guitars with some additions and changes here and there and a pile of synth/ effects over them?Why on earth would a muti platinum act authorise a demo to be put on a soundtrack? I say it didn't get the reaction they hoped for so (same as the cd leaks) so they called it a demo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TiedHands Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I love the big, epic songs more than anyone, but if they would release an album full of songs in the vein of 'Oh My God' and 'Shackler', it would be a hit. I think people genuinely miss Axl's dangerous, aggressive side, and you can't get that with 'This I Love' or 'If The World', as much as I love those songs. When I have let people listen to CD, overwhelmingly two of the favorite bits off of the entire album for a lot of people are the 'Don't ever try to tell me..."/"No one is stopping you..." parts from Shackler, with the disco beat, the wonky guitars and the yelling Axl, and the breakdown in Better ("I never wanted you to be so full of anger..."). Those are moments of pure brilliance, and people crave that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand people liking it but don't defend it as most didn't like itBecause it was not polished or unfinished.

ThomasMeadow Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I listen to Oh My God just about every time I run / work out. I don't think it was a "demo" ether. wished CD would of sounded more like Oh My God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it was a "demo" ether. wished CD would of sounded more like Oh My God.I am happy we got what we did with CD. Had we gotten 2 albums, with an entire album's worth of OMG type songs, plus everything on CD, and it had been tracklisted so that each album had half OMG/Silkworms industrial anger, and half CD balladry, I would be the most satisfied GnR fan on the planet.
