GUNS 'N' ROSES GREATEST HITS
GENRE HARD ROCK
RELEASED 2004 GEFFEN RECORDS

To the ones new to guns 'N' Roses this is the perfect album for them as it does have a very good arrangment of the best works from all there albums.

APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION 1987
Welcome To The Jungle, with the chunky guitar riffs and solo's from slash, this is a fun hard rock classic.
Sweet Child O' Mine, A massive guitar intro from slash, massive melodies working into the great solo. Still one of the best love songs ever.
Paradise City, If your a practicing air guitarist you'll love this one full of chunky riffs and if you find a video of them on stage why not copy them run all over the place playing your air guitar. Or if you actually have a guitar play along.

LIES 1988.
As the demand for the 1986 E.P LIVE LIKE A SUICIDE was so great and the new E.P was well overdue, the lads decided to combine the both to bring the fans this great album.
Patience, sweet, soft and mellow accoustic track. The best song on the whole album. As most of the others were full of swearing.

USE YOUR ILLUSION 1 1991
Dont Cry Original lyrics, soft love song with a few great guitar riffs and solo's over the corus, excellent track.
November Rain, Axl plays the piano for this slightly earie song. Lovely melodies from Slash, then at the end a meaty guitar riff and solo.
Live And Let Die, the Wings classic (Paul and linda McCartney).
The lads do a great job of this one and deserves its place on the album.

USE YOUR ILLUSION II 1991
Knocking On Heavens Door, Bob Dylans classic. The lads do a good job of this great song. (i like the live version as they add little bits and really get the crowd joining in) Guns 'N' Roses live in tokyo dvd.
You Could Be Mine, heavy rock tune used in the Terminator 2 film. Chunky guitar riffs and solos, great for headbanging.
Yesterdays, graet hard rock song about what yesterday has for you nothing yep I will aggree to that.

THE SPAGHETTI INCIDENT 1993
Aint It Fun, origainally done by the Munroes. A good punk rock song.
Since I Dont Have You, the beter choice of the two punk rock songs writen by James Beaumont and The Skyliners

INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNTRACK 1994
Sympathy For The Devil, Rolling Stones classic hard rock song which Guns 'N' Roses recorded for this great film.

Although they show The Live Era Album 1987-1993 released 1999 there aint no live tracks on this album. which is a bit of a shame.
Alot of there best songs are still missing like So Fine, Estranged, 14 Years and Dont Cry Altered lyrics to name just a few. Also some of the live stuff has great interludes like Slash playing The Godfather tune, as an intro to Knockin' On Heavens Door Slash played beguining of Only Women Blead and Axl sang the first line ( found on Live in Tokyo). Also from the said dvd Matt Sorum plays a massive drum solo while waiting for the lads to get back. Could have done with a few limited bits.

Play list in order.

Sweet Child O' Mine 5m55s
