Its about time there was a guns n' roses best of album, you may notice that there isn't any of their tracks on "the best air guitar album"`s this is because Geffen records (which incidently is part of UMG Recordings Incorporated) whom is the label for guns n' roses, would not allow this, it was all to do with copywrite rights. Which is nothing but a shame, I think there is alot of people who would agree that.
Unless you buy the single you won't find 'Sympathy for the devil' any where but on this album, (unless you have 'interview with the vampire' on tape/dvd, or the soundtrack to this film,its on the ending credits!).
The first album Appitite for destruction was released in about 1987, followed by GN'R Lies in 1988, next was Use your illusion I and use your illusion II both brought out in 1991, Spaghetti Incident was after these in1993 (which was a big dissapointment,) then a live era album was relesed in 1999. There are tracks from each of these albums (plus sympethy for the devil) on this cd, although my favourite would be either locomotive, Get in the ring (use your illusion II),or Mr Brownstone (appitite for destruction). none of these tracks are on the album, but its ok cause there are songs such as 'civil war', 'welcome to the jungle', Sweet child of mine' (which everybody knows and loves!), 'you could be mine' (this track is number 07, which was also in a film, terminator 2. When the kid has just fiddled the atm machine and rides away on his scrambler.)
The only fault I can find is the fact that they have put 'aint it fun' and 'since i dont have you' on the album which could have made way for a couple of better songs , of which there is lots to choose from!! But I`m just saying that cause I don`t like the album 'the spaghetti incident' apart from 'down on the farm' - which is funny as!!! All in all this is an ace album and ideal for the avid fan, or for someone who only likes a select few of their songs, of which those songs are guaranteed to be on this album, it costs about a tenner from your supermarket (asda, tesco, morrisons etc..).
