Greatest Hits [Digipak] [PA] - Guns N' Roses

Advantages: first 9 tracks are everything that can be hoped for (barring Patience)
Disadvantages: no band input, mixed playlist, poor packaging

...the release of their official greatest hits package. Although I say official, in truth had Axl had his way then this release would never have seen the light of day. As hard as he and Slash tried, even efforts in court failed, they couldn’t stop Geffen Records releasing what they saw as an acceptable package. Geffen it seemed, having been taken to the limit with constant promises of Chinese Democracy, took it into their own hands to place together ...

Firstly, for a greatest hits package there is very little here that can’t be purchased on a market stall for £3.99, a flimsy collection of a mere 14 songs from a band that have a career spanning 20 years, quite frankly isn’t acceptable. The big hitters are all here - November Rain, Sweet Child O’ Mine, Paradise City and Civil War, but it just doesn’t suffice for what is supposedly their greatest hits………. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ...

Advantages: A fine collection of all the best records
Disadvantages: Not everyones cup of tea!

...up of 2 EP's. This greatest hits collection takes the majority of its tracks from the 4 studio albums - Appetite for destruction, Use your illusion 1, Use your illusion 2, and the covers album The Spaghetti incident. Without a doubt the best album they released was Appetite for destruction, some would argue that this is the only GnR album that you need. Only 3 tracks from this groundbreaking debut album are included in this greatest hits, which is ...
...of the tracks on the greatest hits. WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE (Taken from Appetite for Destruction) - The first track on 'Appetite...' and a great opener for that album and this one. A straight-forward heavy rock tune which sums up all the best bits of GnR, Slash's great guitaring and Axl's screeching vocals, along woth lyrics such as 'I wanna watch you bleed'. Charming! SWEET CHILD OF MINE (Taken from Appetite for Destruction) - Probably one of the ... Read review
