Irrelevant and pointless, here's why.... - By: G. Twiss, 30 Jun 2008 
Now I am a massive Guns `n' Roses fan & have been since about the age of 10 when I first heard Paradise City, I then went & got all of their albums from my local music store. Now the problem with this CD isn't the quality of the songs, tracks 1-9 & track 11 are fantastic, but...
1) Irrelevant because it isn't even a greatest hits. Some of the tracks are extremely poor & have no place here, for example `Since I Don't Have You', `Ain't it Fun', `Sympathy for the Devil' & `Live & let Die'. Now although these songs are good when you consider some of the songs not included on this so called greatest his such as `Estranged', `Breakdown', `Rocket Queen', `Don't Damn Me' & `Dead Horse' the songs included have no place on this CD.
2) Pointless because Guns `n' Roses only have 4 studio albums (one being a cover album, which isn't worth buying) & 1 mini album (Lies), & so therefore you are much better off just getting all these albums instead especially considering you can purchase them quite cheaply if you shop around & by doing this you will get all of their greatest songs.
Track by Track:
1) Welcome to the Jungle- 9.4/10 (Fantastic)
2) Sweet Child O' Mine- 10/10 (Amazing guitar solo)
3) Patience- 9.2/10 (Nice acoustic side to a bad ass band)
4) Paradise City- 9.8/10 (One hell of a catchy chorus & Slash is as ever kick arse on guitar)
5) Knocking on Heavens Door- 9.1/10 (Better than original)
6) Civil War- 9.9/10 (Great lyrics & fantastic guitar melodies)
7) You Could be Mine- 10/10 (Great lyrics & fantastic guitar melodies)
8) Don't Cry- 10/10 (Beautiful lyrics & great guitar solo)
9) November Rain- 10/10 (Best song ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
10) Live & Let Die- 8.2/10 (Better than original but not worthy of being here)
11) Yesterday's- 8.7/10 (Good lyrics & nice funky beat)
12) Ain't it Fun- 8.4/10 (I like the attitudein the lyrics & the guitar is great as ever, but GNR have much better songs)
13) Since I Don't Have You- 4.5/10 (Decent guitar solo but that's it)
14) Sympathy for the Devil- 3/10 (Better than original but still not great)
Now although this is an amazing CD for the reasons I have already given above this is not worth buying, for a start `Estranged' isn't even here. Listen to this song & explain how Sympathy for the Devil or Since I Don't Have You are better, then you'll see my point about poor song choices. And aside from `Estranged' there are half a dozen other songs that should be on this disc & aren't. Although the rest of the songs make this 4 star album (1 star knocked off for tracks 10, 12, 13 & 14) don't bother getting this just buy the following albums.
Appetite for Destruction
Use Your Illusions 1&2
Lies
This was originally only released to whip up an interestin Guns `n' Roses again as at the time `Chinese Democracy' was supposed to get released, however suffered a delay as has happened many times now.
Amazing! - By: Jake M, 07 Jun 2008 
This is my first album from Guns & Roses & I love it!
Every track on here is onein which you can easily find yourself playing again & again!
Although I like every song on this CD, my personal favorites are the legendary "Sweet Child Of Mine" & "You Could Be Mine".
You really couldn't ask for a better G & R greatest hits CD than this, it's brilliant rock music!
A solid overview of the band & a superb introduction to a newbie fan!
Greatest Hits, sure... Best Of, no way! - By: Mr. S. Howe, 03 Feb 2008 
This does what it ways on the tin, it is a compilation of GN'R's biggest hits (meaning biggest selling singles, not best songs) hence features stuff from their Spaghetti Incident LP(okay but not great) instead of stuff from when they were rather unknown like Mr Brownstone. Plus, the BAND themselves (even Axl) tried to stop this being released by Geffen when they saw the track listing. I mean, Since I Don't Have You on their greatest hits cd? Come on geffen, whatever.
Lots of their best songs were not released as singles, so don't get a look-in, such as Locomotive, Pretty Tied Up, Out Ta Get Me, Rocket Queen, the list goes on & on.
Tip: Buy Appetite for Destruction & maybe, if you really like them, Use Your Illusion one & two. Skip the greatest hits.
A bit dated now - By: Chris H, 09 Jul 2007 
I've gone down musical memory lane many times now, but never have I been so struck by how an old favourite has not aged well. Buy this if you've still got long hair, spandex trousers & play air guitar.
Young boy with big thoughts... - By: George F. Owen, 04 Jul 2007 Please, all diehard Guns n Roses fans, ignore some of the other reviews putting this album to shame. I am only just turned 13 & i have heard all the songs by guns & roses from paradise city to your crazy & there is nothing crazy about buying this album. The best song is welcome to the jungle closly followed by the next track, Sweet child ' mine
Guns N Roses are one of the greats & without this album you will have a hole on you for the rest of your life
