Greatest Hits album Product Description
Hard-rock juggernauts Guns 'N' Roses arrived as rock & roll saviors in a dark time of generic hair metal and bloated pop. With only five studio albums to draw from (one being the all-covers SPAGHETTI INCIDENT), nearly a third of the material on GREATEST HITS is unsurprisingly devoted to other people's songs. Inclusions range from a dramatic version of Bob Dylan's "Knockin' On Heavens Door" and an outsized take on Paul McCartney's "Live and Let Die" to punk classic "Ain't It Fun" and doo-wop nugget "Since I Don't Have You." The band's original songs, however, are the heart of G'N'R's appeal. Start with the quintessential heavy-rock anthem "Welcome to the Jungle." Amid the thunderous time-keeping and tasty riffing are slinky grooves, sexy swagger, and quite an aura of danger. The acoustic "Patience" found these tattooed bad boys showing off a softer side, while archetypal power-ballad "Sweet Child O' Mine" is a perfect hybrid of sentiment and soaring guitar solos. ...See Full Description

| From Another Planet Guns N' Roses is one of the few rock bands that can truly support a 'Greatest Hits' album. All the songs are extraordinary and really touch my soul every time I here them. Thanks! By Pavlaras (Aradippou)  This review is for a different format. |
| Hits -- How About the Greatest Rockers ? ? ? I don't ever care for "Hits" pacakages. Although some of the best Rockers may appear on them.... you've got all of the commercail tunes.... like "Sweet Child Of Mine". Instead I would have preferred the focus to be their Greatest Rockers.... which surely would have eliminated that and given us "Nightrain" and "Mr. Brownstone". But on with the "Hit Parade" ...

| Good I did though this might be digitaly remastered, but my surprise was that this was only a remastered analogue album. It is good. By Jlsromero (Mexico City)  This review is for a different format. |
| 5 Star Band Anyone who gives Guns N Roses less than 5 stars is listening to the wrong music. A million bands are coming and going, while the old school rock is alive and happenin' for a jam session. The guitar solos are screaming, and the lyrics, while not always meaningful, are sung hardcore without sounding like garage trash. That's a hard balance to come by. All in all, put down your Britney Spears CDs sometime and spin a song or two by Guns N Roses. You don't know what you're missing! By mystical1735 (Gulf Shores, AL) This review is for a different format. |
| It rocks It is a wonderful cd. I would tell everyone that this is a cd that everyones needs to have By lvdiesel77 (Collins, MS USA)  This review is for a different format. |
