"Greatest Hits" on Sam Goody upcoming releases list

[shaun]

I don't know if you guys remember or not, but back when the Illusions were about to be released, under 'the scheduled albums list' the Illusions were listed as Guns N' Roses: Greatest Hits (back in 91'). Also, there can't be a Greatest Hits 2.0, all of GN'R's hits have already been covered in the original Greatest Hits album. The only other way I see it is that album being a "Best Of". So I believe we have 3 options here:

a.) Axl is releasing a 'Best Of' album soon. (which would be redundant)
b.) This is really Chinese Democracy in disguise. (or a single)
c.) This is absolutely nothing.

Which option do you think is right?

Hmmm...

If it isn't c.) then it must be b.) - The Greatest Hits a collection of GN'R singles, i really can't imagine for one minute there could be a Greatest Hits 2, it would surely contain some tracks from the The Greatest hits already released (and that would make no sense).

...and, another way of looking at it is, if there is anything coming out from GN'R, it's got to be new material 

[audjon]

Might be 'Best of'? No TSI tracks  + estranged, used to love her, it's so easy, mr. brownstone, Pretty tied up, rocket queen, garden of eden and even old unreleased track or demo, like heartbreak hotel

[Scabbie]

I don't think A is true. I just don't think Axl would do this as he is so wrapped up in Chinese Democracy - and besides if he is releasing an album around this time he won't want another GNR product to compete with.

Unless of course it has something to do with the court case as has been previously commented upon.

I hope its B, but realistically its gotta be C!

[HoldenCaulfield]

I've always thought we'd see some sort of "code name" for a tentative album release. If they put up there, a specific time for a specific title, the secret would be out. I'm sure Axl will want to drop an atomic bomb with this one. I definitely don't see a GH v.2, unless it's got new/rerecorded material on it, but my guess is that the next Guns N' Roses cd out will be 'Chinese Democracy', no rarities colection, no "Best Of", etc.

Come on people - get real here. Die-hard obsessed GnR fans, mods who have connections . . . can't find ANYTHING out about the new album, but some checkstand girl is going to know that information? She may have a tentative release date for an album, but what - Axl's mangement crew called her up and said 'Axl wasn't happy with the first Greatest Hits album, so he's putting out his own version of it. We're not telling anybody but a few select cashiers at a few select music stores."

Agreed.  This story does see like a big load of BS.

If it wasnt for BS stories I wouldnt have anything to read

[F*ck Fear]

I don't think it's going to turn out to be anything....Nothing ever turns out.

But the thought of it being a single makes me wish.

[grog mug]

I'm not a bullshitter.? No BS in this post, and I've never posted BS.? She said she wasn't sure what the album was but she knew of the previous Greatest Hits that came out.? She assumed that it's Axl's version whatever that means.? I have no idea why it was listed for upcoming releases, but it clearly stated "Guns N' Roses Greatest Hits".? Just a simple stapled together printed out chart.? Your guess is as good as mine.

[grog mug]

By the way GROGhan you should know that Grog's don't bullshit, so think what you want but I'm the real Grog...remember that, lol.

[Sterlingdog]

On the CD release date rumor thread back in July, someone says their friend was at a Sam Goody and was asked to preorder GNR's upcoming self - titled album, due in November

So either both Booker Floyd (from the CD release date thread) and Grog mug are posting BS stories, or two different people have heard similar info from 2 different Sam Goody stores. 

I'm not saying this guarantees that either or both stories are true, but it makes me think something might be going on.  Although why only Sam Goody stores would have this information and not any other stores makes no sense to me.  But has anybody else done what Grog Mug did, and just walked in and asked somewhere, for example, like Tower?

[Dave_Rose]

It cant be true I cant see it happening Axl has got to put out Chinese Democracy next there is nothing left for him to do

[grog mug]

If anybody lives in Kentucky, please go in to the Sam Goody store in the Oxmoor Mall.  They will tell and show you the same thing.   I'm going to go there tomorrow and ask them what it really means and talk to the head manager to see if he know's whats up.  Like I said your guess is as good as mine.  Not looking for attention here, just sharing something I've been told by simply asking a record store if anything is scheduled or coming out.

Has anyone stopped to think that if this really does come to fruition (and I think Axl is looney enough to go through with releasing a Greatest Hits II) that we would officially have LESS released CDs (If Live Era counted as two) that contain original material than CDs that do not?

Appetite + Lies + UYI I + UYI II = 4

TSI + Live Era Disc 1 + Live Era Disc 2 + GH + GH II = 5

[dave-gnfnr2k]

I think this album the GHs II was chin dem and was to be released in Nov but the album got pushed back to Feb. Tommy And Diz both said the planned release date was Nov but that apparely has fallen through. I dont think there is another GHs album, it was IMO just a code name for CD so it wont leak out.

[Eva GnRAxlRosette]

She assumed that it's Axl's version whatever that means

that makes sense
doesn't sound like he's saying she claimed to KNOW anything
other than there being an upcoming release listed as "Greatest Hits"
and she knows the GH already came out
and she know's Axl protested it
so this is how she's rationalizing it

what is it?
who knows!?  No one! 
but could it be that CD has a different name? and they are keeping it secret?

[kj_jive]

I like this rumor it seems fun and not entirely too far fetched.

And Grog Mug...when trying to gain credibility you should avoid posts like these, "By the way GROGhan you should know that Grog's don't bullshit, so think what you want but I'm the real Grog...remember that, lol"

[grog mug]

LOL, I know, I was kidding on that post.  I meant no harm in saying it.  I think I reacted like that because I really am telling you the truth about a simple story I came across at Sam Goody and someone was trying to make it out be some stupid bullshit rumor.

[The Estranged MrFlashbax]

next time i go into sam goody i'm gonna ask em if anything from guns n roses is scheduled.. although i'm gonna seem like a moron asking them and the whole store (usually filled with goths and pop/punk people) are gonna turn around and laugh..
