Pick 3 songs off each album to make a "best of" type of album.

[Thorned Rose]

Something a little different and I'm kinda bored.

Appetite for Destruction
Gn'R Lies
Use Your Illusion I
Use Your Illusion II

Chinese Democracy

I didn't include any covers/live albums. I almost didn't include Lies as its basically 4 acoustic originals and 1 of the 4 is a version. So its just 3 new songs basically. I did include it though.

Pick ONLY 3 songs from each album and only 1 from Lies. These would be the songs you would have to listen to by the band every day. Imagine you couldn't hear any other song for the rest of your life but these 3 from each album. You should end up with 13 songs to make your ultimate desert island forever Gn'R album.

Just thought it might be fun.

Here is mine. (Remember in picking these for the fun factor in this thread... whatever you pick are the only Gn'R songs you will be able to ever hear ever again. The rest of the Gn'R catalog wouldn't exist to you).

AFD: Nightrain, Rocket Queen, Paradise City

This was tough.. lol. Nightrain and Rocket Queen were easy as they are a couple of my favs, the 3rd track was very very tough. I went with Paradise because of the different vibes it has. It is more intersting then some of the others. I could of almost went with any. Sweet Child just missed the cut as so did It's So Easy. Tough

Lies: One in a Million

(Patience is the better song, but I've heard it so much, One in a Million is more intersting to me and something I could listen to forever)

UYI I: Bad Obsession, Don't Cry, Dust N' Bones

(Very tough again. UYI is the album I never truly appreciated until not too long ago. Hard to explain. Maybe for another time I think? Right Next Door to Hell was considered but I would get tired of that one forever. November Rain just missed. I mean just missed. It basically didn't make it over Dust n Bones because its just slower paced and longer I guess. It would get somewhat bland if I had to listen to it forever)

UYI II: Civil War, You Could Be Mine, Breakdown

(After the first 2 choices here it could of been almost anything else. I went with Breakdown as it is just the most interesting song. Almost picked 14 years or Locomotive.)

CD: This I Love, Sorry, Madagascar

(This I Love is one of their best songs ever. It is better than November Rain IMO. I think its just a masterpiece. Sorry is sly and edgy.. badass and Madagascar is a gem. I like it live more. The guitar are louder live it seems.)

Overall

Nightrain
Rocket Queen
Paradise City
One in a Million
Bad Obsession
Don't Cry
Dust N' Bones
Civil War
You Could Be Mine
Breakdown
This I Love
Sorry
Madagascar

It was tough but those are the 13 tracks I could listen to forever. I could easily swap some with others but I think these are the ones I could deal with lsitening to forever by myself.

Is it mandatory to pick from CD? I?d rather replace them with more songs from the other albums.

[D-GenerationX]

Yeah, I struggled with 'Chinese Democracy'.

Love 'There Was A Time'.  Love 'I.R.S.' 

After that?  Pretty much picked 'Street Of Dreams' because I needed a third.

[Princess Leia]

Ok I pick other songs from the other albums. If that?s not allowed just ignore all my picks

Yeah, those are the rules for this game. I personally didn't want to include CD since it is like 17 years removed from UYI and in my opinion and entirely different band and time.

I included it, because it is Guns N' Roses and I didn't feel like getting bitched at for not including it. For the sake of argument and drama... just stick to the guidelines if you can please. I feel ya on the not including it.

Yeah I saw that way back. I wasn't posting actively then. I post in spurts over the years. I'm not the most consistent poster. I just have more time now and by coincidence the reunion news is in full swing. SO its great.
