Well, there was a snippet of the Bumblefoot OMG version at the time that came along with the first remix snippets. Maybe you mean that one?
yea that one might have been it. but that one was never part of the "Remix album" but a completely separate thing made by BBF shortly after he joined the band in May 2006 
that one leaked together with Silkworms and Going Down as a 3-pack.

Did the remix album ever leak in full? I only ever heard clips of those remixes. There was a clip of a classic rock remix of OMG that was badass. I'm dying to hear it in full if anyone has it to share.
no, the only thing that has ever leaked were 5 Brain remixes of ChiDem songs (Shackler, ITW, TIL, Better ("Better Gone") and Prostitute ("Blood in The Water")) of the alleged 6 songs Brain remixed back then. if you heard some "classic rock remix of OMG", it was almost certainly a fake.

Sometimes you just need to enjoy a good bowl of soup for what it is and stop dwelling on how it got there.

I dunno - I’m still infinitely more interested in something slash and duff have had some input into - this current lineup feels like a legit GNR lineup for me
As much as I was “all in“ on the CD saga, it was always predominantly about Axl for me and I never felt a huge connection to the merry-go-round of a cast that came and went
Hence, I can’t get too excited about Finck instrumental demo suggestions that have leaked 2 decades later etc
I crave an official, proper new GNR album more than anything - I’ve said it many times - it would be a disgrace to GnRs legacy if CD were to be the creative bookend
as sad as it is - these guys more or less depleted their creativity in late 90's and early 2000's. so there might be some small tidbits of fresh stuff on hypothetical new release, but the bulk will probably be re-recorded leftovers which are 20 years old at this point.
don't get me wrong - I'd love to see some genuine new stuff, made by Axl, Slash, Duff together with the rest of the current band - but I have my serious doubts about that.
#46 Re: Guns N' Roses » The Context of How Old Some of these Tracks Are » 300 weeks ago
The first Brian May Atlas Shrugged/Perhaps/Catcher in the Rye should probably turn 20 years old in just over a month (November-ish maybe).
quite surely mid-November-ish.
"We're still hoping to have Brian May come in and do some tracks, and I got a fax today that he's coming in." (Axl, MTV, 11/08/99)
we don't have more precise date, but it couldn't be before 8th November 1999 obviously - altough we're only talking about the May guitar tracks here - the rest of the songs must have been already done so they are for sure older than this.
actually, there are the old demos that leaked in 2006 (Razz tracks and Catcher) - and at least Catcher and TWAT sounds like earlier version of those we got now at Rough Mixes CDs - that means obviously that at least Catcher still can't be older than May's involvement, but who knows about TWAT. IRS seems to be the same as the Rough Mixes version, but that doesn't say much - it could have just been taken from previous sessions as it was.
the Razz files might have been old tracks from the time when Robin left (his contract expired 1st August 1999), and might be stripped of his guitar tracks - but again IRS seems to have retained his guitar solo.
ummm... I forgot what I wanted to say when I started typing this, sorry for that
oh, and one more interesting fact: yes, we know that May played on three tracks and the third one is almost for sure Perhaps. but there was also "messing around on various other things" - so who knows what's buried somewhere in the mix
"[Axl] said, 'Brian can you come and do stuff which I will like and I won't feel too bad about ditching this other stuff?'. So I did. I went over there and I think I played on three tracks and messed around on various other things. But it worked out pretty well, as far as I can tell." (Brian May, Radio One Rock Show, 05/10/00)

maybe something similar to this? http://www.gnrevolution.com/viewtopic.php?id=14944
#49 Re: Guns N' Roses » Rough Mixes Disc 3 » 301 weeks ago
I think it's just better quality so the instrumentation is clearer.
I also got the same impression but haven't done any scientifical tests. that's why otto's words surprised me a bit

7 - Hardschool nu Ax
I like this version better than the ones we've heard before. Like the added parts (a guitar here and there, little piano, cleaner vocals). My grudge with the song continues, as it is too dated on the "too hardschool!!" parts, seems to try too hard to be... hard?
umm... wut? I thought there was only one HS existing, at least the disc tracklists only mention one. there were more? interesting! I want to know more.
