GUNS N´ ROSES nyt
- (24/9) - Axl Rose har brudt års tavshed med følgende
pressemeddelelse om gruppens nye sang "Oh My God", som vil være
at finde på soundtracket til den nye Schwarzenegger film "End
of days". Soundtracket udkommer d. 2. november. Et album fra GN´R
, med en foreløbig titel "2000 Solutions" forventes ude
i det nye år.
- Her er pressemeddelelsen :
- So here's the story behind this music …
- The chorus: OH MY GOD, etc. 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
(End Of Days) and its metaphors. The appropriate expression and vehicle
for such emotions and concepts is not something taken for granted.
- Musically the song was primarily written by Paul Huge over two years
ago, with Dizzy Reed writing the musical hook of the chorus. Former member
Duff McKagan as well as former employee Matt Sorum failed to see its potential
and showed no interest in exploring, let alone recording the piece. When
the demos were played for the new band, Josh, Tommy and Robin were as they
say 'all over it.'
- Once the opportunity was presented, the song was given priority
in our recording process. As the verse, performance and lyrics were decided
on, for us (that especially includes Interscope chairman Jimmy Iovine)
the choice became obvious. We were more than pleased Mr. Roswell (the film's
music supervisor) agreed! Our thanks to Arnold and all for the consideration
— it is an association in which we have always felt honored.
- Paul Huge, Gary Sunshine and Dave Navarro appear on the song as
well as Robin Finck. Robin's part was written by Paul and extensively manipulated
by our producer, Sean Beaven. Robin was not involved in the writing of
the final recording though did participate in the arrangement. All lyrics
were written by myself. Additional programming (jack boots, screeching
tires, etc.) was by Stuart White.
- The fight of good vs. evil, positive vs. negative, man against a
seemingly undefeatable, undeterrable, unrevealed destiny, along with the
personal and universal struggle to attain, maintain and responsibly manage
freewill can be and often is frustrating to say the least. In America our
country's constitutional right to freedom of expression gives us a better
chance to fight for that expression than many in other countries enjoy.
It can be a big gig, like kickin' the crap outta the devil!
- Power to the people, peace out and blame Canada,
- Axl
Tilbage......!
