seagullview Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 "However, in a 2001 interview with an Argentine radio station, Rose stated the album was not industrial, and would vary in styles, stating "It is not industrial, the closest thing to that was perhaps "Oh My God", but there are some songs that won't be on the album that were this way. There will be all kinds of styles, many influences as blues, mixed in the songs." (From Wikipedia)Why didn't these industrial songs end up on CD? Because of the delay and the style of rock had already changed and industrial rock out of fashion? Saved for the next album? Simply not good enough?

MrSoftie Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I think saved for the next album. I think the plan was for it to be harder, so probably more OMG type songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixes Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 the industrial type of songs would have worked if he had released the album in 2000....once 2008 and beyond rolled on, not so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Słash Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 If it was in Axl's hands then we would have never seen CD being released, Im not let it eat my brain up that when he has so many songs recorded then why the hell he is not even releasing them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToonGuns Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I actually like Scraped.Rhiad has some good riffs... could have had a bit more swagger to the rhythm, but the structure, production and guitar solo are poor.Silkworms... I've always been of the opinion that it sounded so messed up at RiR they must have messed it up which is why we've never heard it since live (bit like omg).

eggers Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Rhiad lyrics are so god damn terrible they make me cringe every time I hear it.As for songs that didn't make it I'd say they weren't finished. CD seems to have been slapped together with songs that were finished or close enough to by the record company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bono Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) Probably because OMG and Silkworms are bigger turds than My Workd, not to mention they wouldn't have fitted any of the songs on CD.Silkworms is absolute shit by Oh My God is a million times better than My World. At least Oh My God has potential to be good and sounds cool in parts. My World is a fucking joke. Edited April 3, 2015 by Bono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I actually don't mind Oh My God. It is aggressive and has a good intro hook. If it had a decent solo it would have been top draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbhutto Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Yeah, the solo on OMG is out of place. Needs the Bucket treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liers Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Totally agree that OMG is severely let down by that cheese in a can guitar solo.How dare you say that about an established musician like Gary Sunshine! *sarcasm*.I like riad, I like scraped except for the intro, OMG is one of my favorite songs, and Silkworms. .. well.... it has potential.OMG wouldn't have fit on CD.... and it wouldn't make sense to release a song you relereleased 9 years earlier. Supposedly Silkworms was reworked and is intended for release on CD3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BreakDown2014 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 The clip of Silkworms from the leaks sounds raw and modern. I would have loved it if Axl really turned into that kind of music. Now it's hard with only Pitman on the band, but having Finck, Buckethead and Pitman, I'm sure they could have done some other great songs back in the day. I hope so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Like we've seen some fans aren't ready or just don't like that sort of thing or Guns doing that sort of thing. It's not a given, it's a risk, it's reasonable. Scraped has a sort of Fat of the Land era Prodigy feel to it. But it has an legit OTGM vibe too.
