I must confess I am not a great "heavy metal/rock" fan but this album is now the most played one in my house (since my Elton John review). I always imagined Guns N Roses songs to be full of bad language that gave the younger generation ideas beyond their station (and I believe some of their songs still do) but there are still some classic ballads which bring a tear to your eye (ie patience, dont cry and knockin on heavens door).

I originally bought this CD for £8.99 in my local supermarket as a present for my partner but somehow he never has actually listened to it yet.

This is the 6th album from the band (so I believe but if I am wrong please let me know) and it contains all the best bits from the others such as Appetite for Destruction, GNR lies, Use your illusion 1, Use your illusion2, the spaghetti incident and Guns n Roses the live era 87-93.


Track listing is as follows:-
1 - welcome to the jungle
2 - sweet child o mine
3 - patience
4 - paradise city
5 - knockin on heavens door
6 - civil war
7 - you could be mine
8 - november rain
9 - live and let die
10 - yesterdays
11 - aint it fun
12 - since i dont have you
13 - sympathy for the devil

As i said I am not a great fan of this kind of music and it is the slower ballads such as Patience, November Rain and Knockin on heavens door which appeal to me the most. They are through provoking but can be interpreted in your own way.

I enjoy all the rest of the tracks as well but with this kind of music you either like it or hate it. It is not really that suitable for all generations (i dont think your grannies would approve) and some of the stronger language on some of the earlier songs might offend so dont play it in front of the kids.

Overall I would recommend this to others who like this kind of music but if you have all their other cds then maybe it is a waste of money as youll have all these anyhow.

Axl is taking the p*s* out of the fans. 'Chinese Democracy' has been delayed time + time again. I won't be buying this. Good review.

BladeRunner2003 15.06.2004 17:29

I liked this compilation but the last few songs were crap, their version of Sympathy for the Devil is appalling! Apparently, Axl, Slash etc have filed a lawsuit against the record company because they didn't want it released, they had no control over what songs were going on the CD and had no control over artwork etc.
