Gibson87 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I'd probably add a few live staples and some hidden gems from each album. It'd look something like thisDisc 1 1. WTTJ 2. SCOM 3. Paradise City4. Nightrain5. November Rain 6. YCBM7. Rocket Queen 8. Patience 9. Bad Apples10. Civil War11. Don't Cry 12. YesterdaysDisc 21. Mr. Brownstone 2. Double Talkin Jive 3. Knockin' On Heaven's Door4. Don't Damn Me 5. Estranged 6. 14 Years7. Coma 8. Locomotive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNRfan2008 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Technically they did it right since they went based on the actual radio hits. "Very Best Of" is where you include well known, but non-radio songs like Rocket Queen, Brownstone, Locomotive, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I'm guessing we'll probably see that rumored 2 CD GH later this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 They released a "best of" in 1987 called Appetite For Destruction. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNRfan2008 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Between Appetite, Lies, and the two UYI albums, it is very difficult to cram all of the great material into just two discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stress Fracture Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 No covers would be my first objective (what with five of the 14 tracks on GH being covers). At a push I'll let them have Knockin' On Heaven's Door but that's it.So for a one-disc Best Of, basically what we already have but with Estranged, Nightrain, You're Crazy (GNR Lies) and Rocket Queen swapped in. With It's So Easy, Mr Brownstone and Used To Love Her first in line for a two-disc release. And then I'll allow them to throw in the covers. Not sure what else other than NEW MATERIAL. And I'm assuming nothing from CD will be be making the cut. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta go with the live version from Ritz 88, best version of it they ever did IMHO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Facekicker Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Coma? On a Best Of? You must be joking! Meandering crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonofnazareth Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) I would not release it. 'Greatest Hits' is such a terrible title for a serious band. Zep, Floyd, Stones etc. never had an album called Greatest Hits. A 2 disc set of radio/deep cuts under the title, 'Guns N' Roses' would be sufficient. Coma? On a Best Of? You must be joking! Meandering crap.its their best song. Edited January 13, 2016 by sonofnazareth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Guys it's stupid and pointless to release a GH nowadays. Any other form of release is more valid. In an age where people can actually make playlists with their favorite gnr songs, purchase individual tracks, etc... It's pointless to make a GH release when spotify or apple music can simply do that with a mere playlist and get as much promotion as an official release. A single, a live album, a concert bluray, an old show, an expanded version of AFD with bonus tracks and demos.. That would make sense. New GH? We're in 2016. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoundOfAGun Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) Fuck greatest hits, get a proper live album out without weird choices from the stack of UYI board recordings and add a couple of new tracks as an incentive for the hardcore to buy the bootlegs they already own.

dalsh327 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 They're probably going to remaster the back catalog for iTunes, Tidal, Amazon etc. To me a hits collection should just be the single mixes, some b-sides and no album cuts, otherwise call it an "Essential" collection.
