Free Music Review: A Good Collection, but Nothing on Here for Those Who Own the Original Albums
Hit: 5 Stars
Guns N Roses had some massive hits back in the 80's then again with the simultaneous release of their Use Your Own Illusion comeback albums in the early 90's, and were certainly worthy of their place as one of the biggest bands in the world during these times. Their biggest hits from that era are all on this album which is great if your looking for something to play in your car and don't want to keep changing CDs and are morally opposed to burning your own album from your own copies of their other albums. However if you are not opposed to making your own compilation album then there is nothing new on this album for you here. If you're a new fan to the Gunners then you'll eventually want the other albums anyway so it's a bit of a waste of money purchasing this album.
The album is not actually the greatest hits in their single released (as you hear on the radio) versions. It is actually greatest hits of their album versions of these songs. It was disappointing on Use Your Illusion II that the song Knockin' On Heaven's Door did not contain the great voiceover intro that the single version did so this was one area where Geffen could have added something for those who have the original albums by putting the single version on this album. The only thing that this album really offers is the final track, Sympathy for the Devil which appeared on the 1994 Interview with a Vampire Original Motion Picture Soundtrack. So if you just want that song compare the price of that soundtrack against this album. Other than that you can just make this album yourself from their original albums.
Free Music Review: GnR SuperStar
Hit: 5 Stars
Let me start off by saying, despite these over the top wanna be
rockers who would'nt know a presidency winning (guitar)rift if
it sat on their face.GUNS were, in every respect, the greatest rockband to ever to take the stage. Axl may have been kinda rough
on the edges, but the fact remains he still is one of the best of the best to ever hold a mic. Slash, that is a name that haunts Jimmi Hendrix in the grave. Slash is a force to be seen.
One of, no "the" best to strum a 6-string. the rest were lengends in themselves. some die-hard GnR fans say they don't
like the album because the GUNS didn't make a cent off of it.
But when you give a review of an album you don't take points away because the band didn't make $ off of it. You don't look at
that, you also do not look at if they were cover tunes or not.
You look at how well they were composed. Every single on there
is mastery of the instument and voice. If it were me, 2 or 3 songs would have been changed. but to a die hard GUNS fan like
me the could have sang yankee doodle and it would have been a
smash hit. Some have put down this album but praised Axl's
Chinese Democracy, in which only Axl of the original GnR is
present. To all those so called "die hard" GnR fans who don't like this album and can't seem to spell even the simplest words right: Clean out your ears and listen again.

Free Music Review: Judging the album
Hit: 5 Stars
Yeah yeah yeah, all this was released before, and yeah yeah yeah, nothing new for real Gn'R fans, and yeah yeah yeah, the band didn't aprove it's release and yeah yeah yeah there are better Gn'R songs out there and many other bad things you can say about this album. None the less, if this is the first record you buy in your life, it's worth 5 stars. The product itself is great.
Great songs, Great attitude, amazing music, kick-ass lyrics, great singing, out of this world guitar riffs, awesome bass lines, good drums, all what you can always expect from Gn'R is here.
If you wanna know what real rock n' roll music is all about, well, needless to say you gotta get this album. In all honesty Appetite For Destruction is better all along, but none the less, you get a sample of all Gn'R's albums here. The raw and heavy feel of AFD, the feeling of Lies, the art and beauty of the USI I and II, and the attitude of TSI (which I don't know why people bash so much, is one of the most entertaining albums ever), and on top of that you even get a Rolling Stones cover which was never released before on a Gn'R record.
All and All, not bad, could have being millions of times better, they could have even added real unreleased songs like "Crash Diet" and b-sides like "Shadow of Your Love" and even live recordings from their "Live Era 87-93" which would have made this record far more entertaining. None the less, it's a great introduction to Gn'R to new fans, who will be impressed to hear this band at it's "best"...
Highlights: it's Gn'R.
Lowlights: nothing new.

Free Music Review: Greatest of their Greatest!
Hit: 5 Stars
Singer Axl Rose guitarists Slash and Izzy Stradlin, bassist Michael "Duff" McKagan and drummer Steven Adler formed one of the greatest and most controversial rock band of all time, GUNS N ROSES. They changed Rock for good, in the 80's when their rough,intensive hardrock came out. Full of scandals, fights and controversity marked them as the "Bad Boys" of rock music, but they were all blessed with talent. Axl Rose charismatic way of singing, and Slash simply of of the greatest guitarists of all time. Unfortunately nothing lasts forever, and Guns N Roses have been missing from the spot light for long. "Chinese Democracy" was supposed to be released for years now but is the most delayed album in history. Along the time we'll wait for it let's enjoy this greatest hits collection.
Some reviewers have complained about that there are too many slow songs and too many covers, however this collection is not missing out anything really. "Enstrangled" perhaps. Apart from that we get it all. The raw rock classics "Welcome to the Jungle" and "You could be Mine" trademark "Paradise City". The wonderful masterpiece "November Rain" the energic Love song "Sweet Child of mine" ballad "Don't Cry" and covers(which i find pretty good) like "Since i Don't Have You" and "Knockin on Heaven's door" and many more.
It's a complete collection of a legendary band. A good remastered album which i believe everyone should take a look at. Rock is not the same today and listening to these great songs keeps me thinking of the good old days. Recommended.
