The GN'R "Greatest Hits" thread!

[Yesterday]

I was just looking at this site and it has the GH cd (it states that it was just realeased) so I thought I'd pass it along. There is no listing for GH at Amazon yet. Anyway, have a great day......

GH (US Version) is also available for download at iTunes.com.  I got Sympathy for the Devil from it yesterday.

Odd, yet probably meaningless.

I just bought the greatest hits here in ireland. It cost 20 euro. The packaging is quite nice but the cd looks shit. Cant really tell if its remastered?

[Syd Vega]

What does the actual disc look like?

It looks like this. Click here!

The rainbow effect in the picture comes from the scanner and it's not on the disc. It's plain silver with those "scratches".

Looks kinda crap.........best thing is the rainbow effect from the scanner

HAHAHA !

I will never, ever buy this thing....

[Dont Try Me]

I bought the cd in Holland today. I like the "scratched" cd. Still is something nice to add to my gn'r collection

What's up with the credits?  All of a sudden WTTJ, Sweet Child, Paradise City and Patience aren't written by Guns N' Roses anymore...
Jeffrey Isbell, Saul Hudson, Michael McKagan???  They weren't in Guns N' Roses.  If the bassist in your band is called Michael, and the guitarist called Jeffrey then you're not the most dangerous band in the world, you're the most stuck up band in the world.
And I still can't get over the fact that they spelled Appetite wrong...

Fucking corporate fucks

This is the first official Guns release in a long time, and they dont even bother to proofread the final product or respect the guys who made it - Izzy, Slash and Duff to name a few.

Dont you get the feeling that there's someone in there (the record label I mean) deliberately fucking things up?  

... yeah, I know, stop listening to Out ta get me before I become too paranoid...

no fuckin shit! this gh is just turning into one big laughing stock man, just cause my life is boring these days, i'm agreeing on the conspiracy theory going on here, as random says, they're definitely out to get me.


rock n' roll

[St.heathen]

Yeh i noticed the writing credits thing.  I was thinking perhaps it's a result of all the law suits and legal shit that we hear has been going on? Strange though....bit silly really.
Note how they didn't dare write William Bailey lol  

Anyway i'm looking forward to tomorrow seeing a new GNR record in stores.  I wonder how many of the people who are against it will end up buying it   Hope it does resonably well(top 20 would be decent considering) , it will have served some purpose then perhaps.

How about booklet? anything interesting?..

[Mattgnr]

BBC 2 caught me by surprise!

Cool advert - makes me want to buy it!

Classic GnR.

Boring thread - 'yeah i know'.

Anyone seen it?

Greatest Hits promotion reaches AP news stories:

EU Membership Erases Town's WWII Split
AP - 1 hour, 1 minute ago
Guns and roses define this town's postwar history. The guns ? and the border guards who toted them ? are now only a memory. So is the Iron Curtain that split Gorizia between Italy and Yugoslavia after World War II.

There was small piece in the Belfast Telegraph called "Roses With Thorns".

It's the usual story of how the band became big and then split. He says that while some of the songs are good some of them shouldn't be on the album.

[Sun King]

There are no sleeve notes/booklet! Only writing credits / Spelling errors and far too many cover songs

Greatest Hits out in Germany / TV ad[/u]

I went to a local store and they already had the Greatest Hits album, thought it was kind of cool to see a "new" GN'R album. Paper cd case though.

Later my girlfriend an me were watching tv and joking around in her bed, suddendly I heard November Rain and saw an ad for the Greatest Hits.

Exciting day ;-)

[Dave_Rose]

On a postive note I was on play.com and the greatest hits is number 2 on the top 10 best seller and I was in HMV and loads of people picked up a copy. So Geffen did say they were gonna see how this album was gonna do and release Chinese Democracy so hopefully they'll bring it out soon so its a goos sign if the album sells. I live in the UK btw.

[badapple81]

Do we want the GH to flop and be able to say.. see I told you so.. it was a load of rubbish?

Or do we want the GH to be a success and be proud of GNR getting back up there for the world to see?

 

[EET_FUK]

I was just watching Tech TV and they aired a commercial for "Greatest Hits".  It was a 30 second spot with WTTJ in the background and a bunch of different pix of the band.  At the end, the slate was for www.musicspace.com .  $15 plus $5 S&H.
