GUNS N´ ROSES - GREATEST HITS
1 of 1 found this helpful The Album has 14 Tracks as the Greatest Hits of Guns N´ Roses. The first Half has the tracks: "Welcome to the Jungle", "Sweet Child O´Mine" and "Paradise City", from their first album: "Appetite For Destruction". The album reached No.1 and considered as the Most selling album in history. These Tracks reached: 7, 1, 5; respectively in the Billboard American Charts. "Welcome to the jungle" was part as a soundtrack for the movie "The Dead Pool".
In 1989 Guns N´ Roses won Best Heavy metal Album for "Appetite For Destruction", Best Heavy Metal Song for "Paradise City", and Best Rock-Pop Song of the Year for "Sweet Child O' Mine". The track "Patience" reached No.4 in Billboard American Charts, single from the second album of the band "GN´R Lies: The Sex, The Drugs, The Violence, The Shocking Truth" which reached No.2 in Album Charts. Along with it´s first album made GN´R the only band with two different albums simultaneously in the Top 5 Album Chart.
The other three tracks are: "Knockin´ On Heavens Door" (No.2 In England), "Civil War" and "You Could be Mine", from the album: "Use Your Illusion II". Both "Use Your Illusion I and II", also reached the Top 5 Album Chart as it did their first two albums No.2 and No.1 respectively, and Not only that, they were No.1 in both USA and the UK simultaneously. No other band did this before.
"Knockin´ On Heavens Door" is a remake from Bob Dylan, and was part of the soundtrack for the Movie "Days of Thunder". "Civil War" was a protest war about War, appeared on the 1990 album "Nobody's Child: Romanian Angel Appeal", a fundraising compilation for Romanian orphans. "You Could Be Mine" is the second song most sold of the band and soundtrack of Terminator II.
These are just a few reasons why this is A MUST HAVE for all GNR fans and collector as well. I bought two, one for my brother and another for me. I also bought the rest of GNR albums, so check out more review, and continuing story of this Band.
Thanks.

GUNS N´ ROSES - GNR LIES: SHOCKING TRUTH
2 of 2 found this helpful Originally slated for release on 11 October but eventually appeared worldwide on 5 December 1988. The album had a long name and it was shorten to: GN´R Lies. It´s an eight-track collection, half live and half studio, designed in the absence of any new material to meet the demand for more GN´R Product. Side A featured the original four tracks from the 1986 Live ?!*@ Like A Suicide EP.
The live tracks are: " Reckless Life" Steven kick-starting the band into the brutal faster-then-the-speed-of-night riff, Axl leering like a jester, ´It´s my only vice!´ then scurrying like a rat through Rose Tattoo´s cheesy hymn to the depraved and the disposed, "Nice Boys (Don´t play Rock ´n´ Roll)", followed by their own early autobiographical stab at much the same thing in "Move To The City", and ending, of course, with the best version of "Mama Kin" Aerosmith never recorded.
Side-A served to demonstrate to the millions of fans around the world that still hadn´t had a chance to see the band play live yet what a raw, lurid entity Guns N´ Roses actually were in the flesh, right from the very beginning. That is why this record is a must have for all GNR fans and collectors alike. I bought two, one for my brother and another for me. I also bought the rest of GNR albums, so check out more review, and continuing story of this Band.
The acoustic set on Side-B was where the real interest lay. Opening with the unmistakable sound of Duff´s voice lazily counting in the beat, "Patience" was the first song Guns N´Roses had ever recorded that didn´t have razor-edged electric guitars and bludgeoning two-fisted drums all over it. Another hit single peaking No.4 at the Billboard Single Charts. "Used To Love Her" followed, a slice of misogynistic humor, a joke.
"You´re Crazy", slowed down from the amped-up methedrine-fuelled version on Appetite For Destruction, is a story of Axl´s claustrophobic search of love. However, it was the final track, "One In A Million", which would truly deliver the storm of protest and controversy promised by the album´s pseudo-provocative sleeve. Originally title "Police and Niggers", set in Axl´s life - poor Urban white boy arrives in the big bad city of his dreams only to discover the streets really are paved in slime. There was a fifth track called: "Corn Chucker", but was not included.
Guns N´Roses made history to have two albums (Appetite for Destruction and GN´R lies) nestling in the Billboard Top Five simultaneously. Both albums sold millions of Copies national and Worldwide, also won several Awards (like MTV Awards). And it was just the beginning. This is A MUST HAVE for all GNR fans and collector as well. I bought two, one for my brother and another for me. I also bought the rest of GNR albums, so check out more review, and continuing story of this Band.

GUNS N´ ROSES - APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION
3 of 3 found this helpful The Band was assembled in June 1985 by 5 members: Axl Rose, Slash, Steven Adler, Izzy Stradlin and Duff McKagan. Between ´85 and early ´86 they built their reputation at Los Angeles. If Los Angeles ain´t the epitome of Paradise City, then tell me - where is? At March 25 1986 they signed to Geffen Records. And Then, in July 31 1987, just when we thought the whole hard rock scene had gone up in flames, we got Appetite for Destruction, the first Guns N´ Roses album was released. The album combines elements of heavy metal, punk rock, glam rock, hard rock, and blues-rock.
"Welcome To The Jungle", opens the album, Axl´s latest slant on the country boy cutting loose in the big City for the first time. "It´s So Easy" Insolent and Cool. "Nightrain" the only wine the band could afford in the days before they were signed; Axl all bustle and pout, Slash and Izzy trailing after him with an avalanche of sour guitar notes. "Out Ta Get Me" was about paranoia, inspired in part, Axl admitted, by his time in correction centres and weekend jailhouses. "Mr. Brownstone" was about heroin addiction, pure and unsimple. "Paradise City" close side one, the best crafted anthem to all-American stagecoach sensibility rock ´n´ roll since Van Halen´s "Jump".
"My Michelle" a ballad that quickly becomes a tirade, and another Axl´s true stories. "Think About You" played at the tempo of an insult being flung in someone´s face. "Sweet Child O´ Mine" wroted by Axl for his girlfriend, Erin Everly, back then. Destined to become No.1 Single in America. "You´re Crazy", twice the speed of the original they had, a self-explanatory searching for love. "Anything Goes" kept the ferocious pace. "Rocket Queen" ends the album, another sordid true story from Axl, where he sings in her shoes, and at the end sings it to her.
The album has accumulated worldwide sales in excess of 28 million. Appetite for Destruction is ranked the fourth best-selling debut album in the United States. Certified 15x Platinum. Has several awards inside the USA as worldwide. this album is consider not only a classic but a JEWEL of All Time between other albums from other artists. This is A MUST HAVE for all GNR fans and collector as well. I bought two, one for my brother and another for me. I also bought the rest of GNR albums, so check out more review, and continuing story of this Band.
