This has been a long time coming but yes its finally here, Guns & roses have finally done a compilation album.
I was quite into Guns & roses when i was younger and this album is a great nostalga trip for any long term fan or general rock enthusiast
I actually bought this album for my hubbies birthday a few weeks ago. So i managed to snaffle it off him to have a listen myself.
I think everybody somewhere has at least one favourite Guns & roses ... ...im a massive R&B and dance music fan, but even im partial to a bit of Sweet Child o Mine, id even say it was probably on my list of favourite all time tracks.
All their biggest hits are here, and they dont dissappoint, but there are quite a few not so well known tracks. Main highlights for me being the massive hit 'Sweet child on mine' ,' Welcome to the jungle' and 'Patience'.
This album has the makings to be a definitive all time classic but i ...

Advantages: Essential G N'R listening Disadvantages: Nothing new
...for a better selection of tracks, or plum for buying the back catalogue, including Lies, Apetite for Destruction and both Use Your Illusion albums. Overall, another greatest hits album to line the bands pockets. But worth the price if you do not have anything in your collection yet. ...

I expected for this album to include some of the great songs by Guns 'n' Roses but instead this album included almost everyone of their greatests and some that I have never heard of before which is no great hardship either.
I really enjoyed the mix of tracks on the album from the calming feeling of "Patience" to the ...

Advantages: some of their greatest song on one album. Disadvantages: missing some good songs that should belong on the album.
i think every rock fan young and old would like this album. Every song on their album is a classic. I only bought the album two weeks ago and cant stop playing it in my car or at home.

Advantages: Hits are on one CD Disadvantages: Could have more songs on
I loved this compliation of the hits, starts off with one of the most well known of songs.. i dont know of anyone who has'nt heard of Welcome to the jungle, great introduction to this CD. CD does also show the softer side of Guns with Dont cry and Since i dont have you, which is one of my favourites. I have always loved this band since the beginning and this hits cd is great for sticking on in the car or just as a means of introdution to the band. ... ...is a cd that is a great reminder of what music i listented to in my youth and of a very different sound that is unique to this group. If nothing else buy it if you like them and dont have mp3 player to use in the car, saves you having to store all the CD's ! ...

Advantages: Good songs Disadvantages: Some very long songs
The rumours are guns and roses never wanted this album to be released and as far as i can remember this should have been a full studio album of new material but as certain band mambers couldn't agree to disagree, we got this fantastic album of neary all there best tracks to date. Well worth the buying if you like Guns and roses and don't have all there ablums then you can't go wrong with this one. Even if you do have the albums then buy this one ... ...that is if you don't have a multichanger or an mp3 player. There are some great songs on this album and you can't help singing along.
always good for a good party and theres even some long songs to keep you going on long drives.
all in all this is a good album and worth paying for.
