Greatest Hits by Guns N' Roses

Pros: Some of the biggest hits of the 80's and early 90's
Cons: Bad packaging, a few poor song choices and some missing tunes

It always seems that in most cases, “Greatest Hits” albums from bands never work. The die-hard fans get upset because that obscure classic is left off or the random number one hit is included twice, usually the radio cut and then an acoustic or ...

Pros: Some amazing songs--including covers...
Cons: Bad packaging, lackluster remastering, and a few really bad songs...

Literal years have passed since Axl Rose first promised us his Chinese Democracy. The record label has given up, and even worse the fans have pretty much come to the conclusion that even if it does exist the material will probably never be released. ...

Pros: Thinks. Well, it is Guns N' Roses.
Cons: Five Covers, Useless Artwork, No Liner Notes.

Sometimes, you have to feel a little bit sorry for record companies. After all, when one of their money making machines breaks up and one of their founding members goes psycho on you - it must be tough to figure out where that next almighty buck ...

Pros: for the most part, the title lives up to itself
Cons: no Mr.Brownstone? no Used to Love Her? two songs from Spaghetti?

Aborted album release dates, canceled tours, late onstage times when they do play live, riots when they decide they don't feel like playing...come to think of it, maybe the "new" Guns 'N' Roses isn't so different from the way the old Guns 'N' ...

Pros: All the essentials, great production, vocals
Cons: They missed a few songs, "Ain't It Fun" shouldn't be there, too many covers

Greatest Hits is an album that didn't have to be made. If Axl Rose and his band of nobody's that he calls Guns N Roses put out some new material, we wouldn't have to have this poor excuse for a GN'R compilation. I'm not calling this a bad album, ...

Pros: Read Review
Cons: Read Review

We all knew it was only a matter of time before Axl and his friends over at Geffen decided to churn out yet another Best Of album, but this time around I am quite satisfied with my purchase. Now admittedly, there is quite a lot missing. But what is ...

Pros: It's a new Guns N' Roses CD.
Cons: Those horrific filler songs; pretty much the second half of the CD.

I'd say any of us who like GNR were waiting for their next release for quite a while. Listening to the "Appetite For Destruction" CD is great, but we wanted some new stuff. Unfortunately, with the release of their Greatest Hits album we're not going to ...

Pros: Where's "Estranged", "Mr. Brownstone", "Used to Love Her", etc...
Cons: An official Guns N' Roses release!

A line spoken by Axl Rose during the infamous aborted tour in late 2002... "And the sh*ts... I mean hits keep on coming..." While I must admit that Guns N' Roses is my absolute favorite band, I also will admit that this "greatest hits" collection is ...

Pros: -Contains all the great classic GNR hits.
Cons: -Too many cover songs and better songs could have replaced a couple on the album.

Let me get started by saying that Guns N' Roses is in my opinion the greatest band that has ever lived and probably will stay that way for as long as their is music in the world. Although I have not purchased this specific album I have all of their other ...

Pros: Many of Guns n' Roses' best songs
Cons: Too many omissions to make it worthwile

As of this writing, it has been 13 years since "The Spaghetti Incident?", Guns n' Roses' last album, and 16 since both "Use Your Illusion" albums, their last original compositions. "Chinese Democracy" has a rumored release date of 03/06/07, but given the ...

Pros: It gives you that nostalgiac feeling
Cons: missing a lot of songs, it's Wal Mart friendly

So after a few years, Geffen releases the greatest hits album. To make money, yes, but why? On their defense, who would blame them? After hearing that the Chinese Democracy (not yet released) has cost Geffen over a millions dollar and failing to ...
