Oh My God (Guns N' Roses Song)
"Oh My God" is a song by Guns N' Roses released in 1999 on the soundtrack to the film '' End of Days''. The song was sent to radio stations in November 1999 as a promo for the soundtrack and the band.

The song was written as the band was recording music for ''Chinese Democracy''. Background In a press release, Axl Rose gave details about the song: "The chorus deals with the societal repression of deep and often agonizing emotions -- some of which may be willingly accepted for one reason or another -- the appropriate expression of which (one that promotes a healing, release and a positive resolve) is often discouraged and many times denied. Emotionally the song contemplates several abstract perspectives drawing from personal expression as well as from the film and its metaphors. The appropriate expression and vehicle for such emotions and concept ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
