Free Music Review: Greatest Hits? Not Quite . . .
Hit: 4 Stars
First of all, as everyone who is looking at this album knows, GNR unleashed some kick a** rock, and are an icon of the 80's, despite their early flameout and general lack of albums. This set cherry picks the cream of the crop hits, like Welcome to the Jungle, Paradise City, Sweet Child O' Mine, November Rain, and You Could Be Mine.
What I could have done without was everything from their Spaghetti Incident album - where the band performed covers of songs it was clearly not designed for, and axl seems to be mocking the original artists with his renditions. Post - modern expressionism? Maybe. Social Commentary on how much society has changed? Perhaps. Good music? NO! What is especially sad is that they fit these atrocities on here, yet they couldn't find room for some of their second - tier classics, like Night Train, Mr. Brownstone, and My Michelle?
If you're a casual fan who only knows of Guns N' Roses by what you heard on the radio, this should suffice. However, the better option is to get Appetite for Destruction and download the MP3's of their best songs not included on that album.

Hit: 5 Stars
This is actually the second time I bought this CD. The first one was loaned to a friend and she conveniently "lost" it she loved it so much. I have always liked Guns N Roses and my kids LOVE it. Plus, we are sentimental fans of "Welcome to the Jungle" since we lived in Cincinnati for a long time and it was the theme song for the Cincinnati Bengals as the games were starting. (I wish it would translate to them in their playing. Lol!) However, we LOVE this compilation of their greatest hist SO MUCH, that it was worth it to me to purchase it again. Thanks!!!Free Music Review: could've been almost perfect...
Hit: 3 Stars
should've excluded that horrible 'ain't it fun' and 'since i don't have you' and substituted 'estranged' instead, then the list would basically be perfect. 'breakdown' or 'rocket queen' could be on here also, but 'sympathy for the devil' is a good cover so i don't mind.
the only other problem is the volume on 'patience' is too low, especially sandwiched between 'sweet child' and 'paradise city' which are both very loud. hard to listen straight through the beginning without having to adjust the volume in order to be able to hear patience.

This band was much better than I realized during their brief moment in the spotlight. Shame they melted down due too much fame, cocaine, booze and broads. The feeble attempt by Axl Rose to rgain the fame today is a faint echo of the original bands greatness. Sometimes ya just can't go home again...enjoy this retrospective for what it is: a brief shining moment in rock history.
