who is this guy ross haflin, and why did he get an early copy of the gh package



rock n' roll

He's a famous photographer.  Has been shooting bands since the 70's.  They used his pic, so he gets a CD.  Makes since to me.  Check the rest of his site, he has probably taken photos of lots of bands you like

Bitchin.

The tracklisting may be far from perfect but the art works spot on.

right on, thanks filthy


rock n' roll

Gay...Iam soooo sick of seeing this old band... I want to see pics of buckethead and fink... they should have put the new bands pic on the back cover...they are guns n roses now....

Izzy, are you talking about Ross Halfin?  He's very famous - taken photos of loads of famous bands.

Jarmo posted a Ross Halfin's GNR pics thread not too long ago.  It's probably somewhere on like Pg 23 of this board cuz of all the rumor threads.

There was also a pic not too long ago of Slash, Ross Halfin, and I think Jimmy Page at some benefit or the other.

 :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:  Are you retarded?  Not a picture OF him.

You get more annoying and oblivious with each post...

Ross Halfin is a photographer who has worked with Guns N' Roses, and a photograph from his first session with the band is featured on the back cover to Greatest Hits.  A terribly difficult concept to comprehend, isnt it?  He even put the original photo next to the CD cover to drive the point home.  So perhaps you should try giving more than a half-a-second of thought before you make your pointless, smart-ass comments and end up looking like a fool.

At risk of sounding like a whinger.. thats not one of my fave GNR pics.. I hate that jacket Axl's wearing! The pics still cool.. 5 of the coolest rockers ever  :)

I would have liked the artwork to come across a bit more aggressive, bit more like this is the best of the most dangerous band in the world.

Just my opinion, don't shoot me  :peace:

Haha, yeah it makes sense to put pictures of guys who have absolutely nothing with any of those songs on the cover...Its gay to credit to the guys who actually made the CD possible.

Im guessing your no older than 15, so I forgive your remarks.

Dont be so mean!  It's an honest mistake if you didnt know Ross Halfin was a photographer.  

Yeah, not knowing Ross Halfin is fine.  Commenting about him like a smart-ass know-it-all and simultaneously disrespecting an original member, even though he admittedly doesnt know what hes talking about, thats just obnoxious.

You dont know who Ross Halfin is, either check up on it or ask, but stupid disrespectful comments arent necessary.

Get back on topic, now.  :P



Wonder if this will be the first GN'R release without Robert John's photos in it.

He sued Axl in 2003.

go get fucked asshole...that was what i wanted not you... The old band is old news and seeing these pics and hearing the old songs sucks now.

This CD would have been 10000000 times better if the New GnR had played these songs. They play them way better anyways.

Who wants to see old pics of the old band anyways? Thats not what GnR anymore.

Interesting that they put a picture of the original lineup even though they were only together for like 4 of the 14 songs on the album. I mean, it's my favorite lineup and I'm really happy to have that photo representing the band, but it does sort of ignore Matt Sorum, who supposedly saved the band in 1990.

Hopefully it has a fat booklet

Well, I can tell you it's gonna be a 6-panel digipack, so I presume any liner-notes/pictures will be contained on the faces rather than a seperate booklet.

I'm not too angry over this album, but I really wish they would give some respect for the new band by calling it something like Greatest Hits: 1987-1995. Then again, they'll prob be a "proper" Axl-authorised GH album down the line anyway with most of these songs :P

I wondered that also.

I just thought that cover art would not have any members included 'cause it would mix things up. if we had new players on the cover, it would just confuse a average buyer because these guys don't play on the album. And now we have the old line up on the back cover which may communicate to the average buyer that nothing has changed. that's the current line-up. remember that many people still believes that Slash and co. are in GNR.

well, it's good to see original line up on the back cover (like nothing's changed.)

shitty cover,shitty album,shitty way to tell the fans "Fuck you"...

It is so sad... No way in hell i will buy this piece of crap :-*

I quite like the back/front cover

It looks sleek and i luv the colour and that picture is 1 of my favorites

I guess nobody would know that there is a new GN'R if they have been in a coma,but most people do know that there is a new GN'R.

.....Everyone besides the very few people on the internet who are supportive of the new GNR wants the old band.  Surely, popular opinion is sided with the old band, and appropriately so.  They're the only ones who've released an album.  You'll be hard-pressed to find a bigger supporter of the new lineup than me, but at the same time, it's idiotic to assume that everyone is with you, especially when it's obvious, especially in terms of the media and general public, everyone's against you.
