wasted Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I think it's funny how Axl just says what he means in songs then people just misunderstand or don't even get a clue to what the lyrics mean because he's not specific. Like Dead Horse on UYI - for a long time I didn't really know what he was saying, now I understand!!!With Oh My God, I think he just described the situation with band and not only ex-members but the general business side to it. Is that what everyone else got. I just think it's such an anthem for the new band and should be in the live sets. But really I was wondering if this was the meaning you got from the song?It's basically a mini rant with a chorus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marky Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Is there a good live version of this anywhere. MP3?LA House of Blues 01-01-01 or RIR3 are the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 It was written by Axl, Dizzy and Paul Tobias right? Personally, it's one of my favourites. The drumming of Josh Freese kicks ass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W. Axl Kev Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I always thought the song was extremelly poor but Axl's lyrics are fuckin' brilliant in it. It sounds like 'Disco Inferno' mixed with 'Dig' by Mudvayne. For me the message has always been that I should turn it off and listen to something else but you know what Ill give it another listen to.

Whitey Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I always thought it was a pretty good song and wondered why no one else seemed to metion it much. I was actually just listening to it before I saw this post. Its definitely different but its good to have some variation anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Great song Well then it's on with the showLike the tides out on the oceanThe waves already set in motionThe only one in the game that's lost is youSome of Axl's best lyrics ever.R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I really like the song, but i don't really understand the lyrics...is it about the troubles axl has had getting GNR back 'on the road' so to speak... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Wasn't Dave Navarro lead guitar on that track?This should answer your question:Oh My God Featured on the "End of Days" movie soundtrack back in 1999. Parts of the song by Paul "Huge" Tobias, Gary Sunshine, Dave Navarro and Robin Finck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f**k_your_enemy Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I think Navarro just done the solo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbudrick Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I love the song. I think others didn't because it was such a shock to hear something so different form them without being prepared for how different GnR's new music was going to be. If it came out now, everyone would love it. But, it came out 7 years ago and the world wasn't ready. I think the song is amazing, and yeah, definitely top 5 best lyrics ever.People just weren't ready for GnR to be so different.-Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teknophyle83 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I've always liked this song. As bad a rap as OMG gets around here, I'm kind of surprised to see a thread like this with nobody bashing it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 It's a great song. They should play it on the US-tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angel of music Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I really like Oh My God, I love the "oohh"s of Axl toward the end hehe, it's got great rythm and makes you wanna move, the hook is great and the lyrics are even betterthe only thing that makes me turn my back to this song and not listen to it as much as I would want to is the poor production, it sounds so raw and the effects used on Axl's voice tire me at the end..

slashplay Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Its just that 'techno' feel that puts everyone up.I would be more than interested if a solid guitar based version came out with a killer fortus solo. It has potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
