Under what conditions would you buy a greatest hits album

[Bucketofguns]

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.

[vvv]

It would have to have a new song.

[Thumper]

I'd just buy it because I'm a fan and I collect GN'R music and memorabilia.

[ktucker450]

No conditions, i'd buy it the day it came out, and i also have all the albums, but i dont care, as long as i got another new GNR item to buy i will right away.  and personally i was happy about the greatest hits coming out, and am pissed its cancelled, unless chinese democracy has nething to do with it, then im happy it got cancelled.

I would buy a greatest hits album if  it came with a GN'R biography, stories behind each song, press on tatoos, stories of their early gigs, lyrics to unreleased songs, and a definite date of when Chinese Democracy will be released.
Just kidding about the tatoos.

monkey's flying outta my ass.......

[michael mackagan]

LIVE ERA it's like their greatest hits, and it's live even better.

[EM]

I'm going to buy it no matter what!

[Dizzy]

I rarely ever buy greatest hits albums by any that I really like, i.e. artists whose albums I already have.  The only exception is if it contains unreleased tracks or very interesting liner notes.

[Sukie]

I'd buy it no matter what.  I wouldn't be able to stand not having it.  Although, I didn't buy that UYI cd that combined songs from I and II...  

[echrisl]

I'd buy it if:

1.  There was a good quality unreleased track that I don't have or don't have as good a quality version of.  

2.  A VERY interesting booklet, although if this was the only reason I bought it it would have to be a personal letter to me from Axl or something equally earth-shattering.

Other than that, forget it.

[Eazy E]

I agree, although I DID buy Use Your Illusion.  Man, what a retarded track listing...'Dead Horse' was one of the 5 best songs on UYI1?  'Coma' anyone?

Ummm..... I think that CD is just an edited version.... notice the lack of swearing in all the songs on there? That's for the kiddies.  You Could Be Mine isn't on there either is it?

Anyways, Coma is shit.

[Lionel Hutz]

If it included fifteen new songs and Rocket Queen.

[metallex78]

I agree, it would have to have at least one new song, some rare unreleased or demo tracks and some cool booklet artwork and liner notes.

I'm not really into box sets repackaging existing albums that I already own.
Allot bands release box sets like that, but what fan would buy them???  If they are already a fan of the band, chances are they'd already have the original albums.

[Where is Hassan Nasrallah ?]

i want a real nice packaging.

REEEEEEAAAALLLLL nice.
