jimb0 Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 Thanks for the responses guys. Yeah to sum it up, more balls and less production. I'm no huge fan of IRS but yeah the 1999 version definitely destroys the final version. That raw, guitar driven edge without all the polish which blends 23 guitar tracks with 19 year old vocals lol.

batman007 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I remember thinking OMG was really different and not liking it too much. The song really grew on me, and fn love it! I don't know about a whole album with tracks like that. I like a mixture of things when it comes to Guns. The way CD is. At this point though, bring it!

J Dog Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I can't say I'd like it more, I'd have to hear it. I can say I would love to hear what CD sounded like around 2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Fuck, they're both great versions. I absolutely love the CD TWAT, but this is a killer version too. I wonder what Axl's like with other people's input on his songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmapelian Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 At the time I didn't appreciate this track as much as I do today, but after CD settling into my system for a good five years, I kinda wish CD had more songs in this type of style and direction. PS. It's kinda sad in a ways that OMG is the most 'Bad Ass' New GNR song.No, not at all - among my least favorites of that era - would have been pure torture on my ears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There aren't many songs out of NuGNR that I can rock out to like OMG... it's grown on me. The Hook. You can so Mosh to it. It's bad ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunsfanoldie Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I remember having those Chinese Democracy leaks for years, and thinking "you have the fucking songs! And they actually sound great! Just release the damn record!" It should have been that simple, because all we needed were those demos in perfect quality. And then the album finally comes out, and Axl still gets it wrong! It wasn't horrible, but somehow he managed to ruin the demos. I LOVED IRS, and then somehow on the album, with it sounding perfect sound quality, he made it worse. That was the biggest letdown for me. Those demos were awesome, and then he managed to put out an album that wasn't miles different, but the one noticeable difference was it lacked whatever it was those demos had, rawness or whatever it is that other people are saying. I never quite got over that. I remember playing people those demos and saying "this will sound awesome when the album finally comes out" and I looked and felt idiotic when they just sounded so "meh" on the record.

Vincent Vega Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I'd love an album that was full of songs like OMG. Make it like, OMG meets Physical Graffiti era or Presence era Led Zeppelin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
