Under what conditions would you buy a greatest hits album

[shaun]

It would have to have a new song.

It`s not possible to have a greatest hits album featuring a new song. It kind of defeats the object in my mind  

Last christmas *ELV1S 30 #1 HITS* was released. It contained 1 extra/bonus track called: alittle less conversation [JXL Radio Edit Remix] - so that made it 31 tracks in total on one cd (why not simply stick with 30 tracks?).

Can you image "here`s GNR`s greatest hits, we thought we bung on a dodgy previously unreleased live version of Paradise City, just so we could shift afew more copies to you sucks, oops, i mean fans!"

Next there will be:

GUNS N`ROSES - Every Single Cover Song To Date - On One CD For Your Conv.
GUNS N`ROSES - Their Best Songs - As Chosen By Their Fans
GUNS N`ROSES - The Un-Released Stuff - As Can Be found On The Net Already!

No conditions....not rain, sleet or snow

I'm gonna buy it dispite's it less than interesting track listing.

5 covers, why not not classics such as Rocket Queen, Nightrain, Mr. BrwonStone, Don't Damn me, Coma ect.

A remastered version of Crash Diet, Shadow of Love or  Ain't Going Down would be sweet.

As for Sympathy for the Devil, fuck where do I start. It just boils my blood knowing that that little fucking RAT paula huge is once getting his name affiliated with this band.

He can have all of the credit he's entitled to with Axl's new band, I could care less. However to associate him with Slash and company,  

Later

I'll buy it, cause frankly some of my older Gn'R cd's have taken a beating over the years and are starting to skip. So this saves me from buying all of the cd's again for a little while anyway. Plus It's a new GnR release, I buy everyother piece of shit that floats down the river with their name on it, I acctually have a autographed letter of thanks from Gilby and Traci Guns for being one of the 11 people who bought their Rock and Roll tribute to Guns N Roses.

Regardless of the lables intent, this GH's will get Guns N' Roses name back out there........I can already here the collective voices of HTGTH building in unison "But the new line up needs to distinguish themselves from the old band......how does this help"

After the ten year wait, the aborted 2002 tour, and the fact that Axl is going to get negative press for pursuing a lawsuit over this (if he infact does).......Nothing will ever save the integrity of this new line up. And face it, Chinese Democracy will spend more time in a vault than Brian Wilsons' Smile album.....so this Greatest Hits album is the least of Axl and Circe De So Lame's (new line up for those who can't follow) worries.

I almost feel bad for laughing my ass off at that...  Crazy ringleader with a bunch of stoned acrobats and... nevermind.

As someone said earlier, if it's remastered, I would consider buying it somewhere down the line.

Funny you should say that. My USE YOUR ILLUSION I jumps on DEAD HORSE. The questions is, how much do i like DEAD HORSE, it`s better then the worst tracks on UYI I and worst than the bes songs on UYI I (i think the word i`m looking for is AVERAGE ) - dose the defect warant buying a new copy of UYI I?  

[Bahad]

- It must contain all of the best songs. 2 cd set surely.
- There should be live and unrelased songs in it. (Like Skid Row's or FNM's)
- Less covers. Smth not familiar like KOHD. Like Ac-Dc's Whole Lotta Rosie
- Remastered and re-mixed maybe.

1. If I didn't have all of their records. I have them all s what's the point? I know tracklist so can record the Greatest Hits by myself. For free.

2. If there would be covers.

[Mysteron]

Since I already have every album, the GH would have to have atleast one new song, and a huge 50 page plus booklet with free pullout poster.  No way in hell I will shell out 15 bucks for repackaged songs, with a page of notes done by some minor magazine editor.

New material

[Sino-lieS]

Hey Mysteron,

What exactly did your last post mean - either you would not buy it without new material or THERE IS NEW MATERIAL?

Please say somrting good!

Thanx

What are you trying to say Mysteron? A GH Cd with new material you want or GH will include new material?

[jarmo]

I guess he just answered the question in the topic Under what conditions would you buy a greatest hits album?.....
