Recommended for general education, superfluous for fans!

Fans do not need this album! All songs are anyway on their 5 albums available so nothing new. Universal has taken a couple of singles and this smacked somewhat carelessly on a plate, all apparently even without the approval of Axl Rose, the most concerned about the publication of his masterpiece "Chinese Democracy", where he, after all, since more than 11 years works!
For someone who has missed the time the Gunners, but interested in the biggest band of the late 80s and early 90s, is the board determines quite a nice start.
1 With the destructive, energetic, screaming "Welcome
to the Jungle "it goes straight pretty heavy going. Just a
highlight the history of rock. (AFD)
2 'Sweet Child O` Mine "shows the softer side of the band;
Great lyrics paired with soulful guitar riffs ... A
absolute worldwide hit in 1987 .. (AFD)
3 If you have "Patience" heard live once, you feel very
gripped and moved. This quiet "acoustic guitar" Song
usually reaps the greatest enthusiasm to each Gunners
Concert. Imagine 100,000 people who seized and
quietly listening to the song and after screaming for 10 minutes
and clapping, although one is still far in the addition.
(Lies)
4 What can you say about Paradise City yet? The addition to any
Concert, the audience from the last ounce of energy
demanded. GNR are "concentrated" in this song. The quiet
The beginning, the great lyrics, the original wildness,
Speed ​​and aggression ... (AFD)
5 The version of the Gunners of "Knockin on Heaven's Door" is probably
most much more common than the original by Bob Dylan.
Even today a worldwide hit! The influence of the Gunners is also
in, appearing in regularity, new
Listening to cover versions. Last but Axl is to
gone live a "a little bit more to the original"
Play version. (Uyi 2)
6 "Civil War": For many fans of the greatest and best song
Gunners. "I don`t need your civil war, it feeds the rich while
it buries the poor "through war and terror is the long
Song relevant than ever. (Uyi 2)
7 The hammer hard Terminator 2 soundtrack, once again shows the
aggressive and dangerous side of the Gunners. (Uyi 2)
8 "Do not Cry" and musical shows Axl`s schrifstellerische
Genius. Very soulful and moving No. 1 Hit. (1 uyi
and 2)
9 Your probably most played MTV compatible monumental work.
Ingenious lyrics, musically almost "too much", with orchestra,
Piano and excess length. The main part is very melancholic
and sad, whereas the final Gunners typical dark and
is fierce.
Brilliant guitar solos of Slash. (Uyi 1)
10 "Live and Let Die" is a cover of Paul McCartney, with GNR
typical pace and style changes (uyi 1)
11 "Yesterday's" despite nachenklicher Lyrics is a cheerful
acting Rock n Roll song that animates to whistle along .. (uyi
2)
12 "Ain`t it fun" (when u knowthat u gonna die young ..) is a
pretty bad punk cover of the "Dead Boys". Certainly the
best song on the last album, "Spaghetti Incident".
13Eine the last Top 10 single of the Gunners in 1993. Wrote on
a Greatest Hits album nothing to
Search. (Spaghetti Incident)
14 "Sympathy for the Devil" was the last single together the
"Old" Guns n Roses. The long Rolling Stones Cover from
In 1994, the soundtrack to "Interview with the Vampire" with Tom
Cruise. The song is quite interesting to listen, cheeky and
witty, but has nothing to do with GNR.
Conclusion: A fairly good overall view of the Gunners from 1987 to 1994. Those who do not want to buy all the same plates, obtained with this CD a good start. After that is "Appetite for Destruction" which is still sold 8000 times per week (Kerrang Magazine Feb. 04) is highly recommended.
However, a greatest hits compilation, which is released by the record company of pure financial interest on their own hinerlässt but a little stale aftertaste.
In addition, the compilation of the Bad Boys of Rock n Roll is not quite fair. The original, destructive, "we don`t care about anything so .... you" influence of their legendary "Appetite for Destruction" album, which in 1987 revolutionized the world of music is strongly unterepräsentiert with Welcome to the Jungle and Paradise City, whereas her late work of 1993 and 1994 do not actually listen to the plate. Probably the songs are on it so that you "live era" and "Greatest Hits" to buy. At least Night Train and Mr. Brownstone (AFD) and Estranged (uyi 2) have instead had to the plate. The highly controversial "One in a million" (Lies) would in my opinion, had to plan.
