dalsh327 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 You might see Universal put out an "Icon" best of, but why compete with the Greatest Hits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweersa Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 A greatest hits wouldn't be necessary until one or more new records is released.Why would anyone put the Chinese Democracy song on it? One of the more weaker songs on that album IMO, and was a poor choice for the first single. Better would definitely make it.Have you seen them live since they have been opening the shows with it? If so you'd understand why...that's what really got that song over for me.Yes, twice actually. Starts out awesome but doesn't seem to capture the audience as much as the next track. Jungle.

Chewbacca Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Put CITR on it and it's perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coma16 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) Catalog isn't really big enough for a 2nd GH album...It's just a shame that the first one wasn't done right... Edited March 1, 2012 by Coma16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnR Chris Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Any Greatest Hits shouldn't and wouldn't include anything from Chinese Democracy. Isn't that an oxymoron? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnR Chris Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) I would call it "Guns N' Roses: You Wanted the Best" or "Guns N' Roses: So Here's What You Get."Both are plays off of McBob's old Gn'R introductions, which he also did for Velvet Revolver. Have always loved how self-deprecating they were.I think this way, you steer clear of a "best of" and you can put some gems on there that weren't on the initial greatest hits.I have a hard time believe old band members would sign off on their songs being used in combination with Gn'R post-AfD lineup. I don't know much about the legalities though.I think you can make two discs. One should be the real Gn'R and one should be the current Gn'R. But since the current lineup doesn't have their own material, perhaps we can get a cover or two, a couple oldies reworked ("Oh My God" and maybe a stripped "Catcher") and a couple new songs. This would be a great way to debut a new song actually. Tack it onto some greatest hits package in light of the press Gn"R will get for the Hall of Fame.This is all fantasy. Axl wouldn't do this. And if he did, I'd rather see a NEW album with fresh material. Edited March 2, 2012 by GnR Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amacfantasy Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 of course i would rather have new music but this would actually be a pretty decent idea for GNR, but im sure as usual they will let a good opportunity go and not take advantage of this thing known as the HOF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 It's not like there are going to be a million people who see the RnR Hall of Fame show and rush out to buy the latest GH album by GnR. This band should be promoting new music!!!! Not stuff that was released 3.5 to 25 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevelle Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I wouldn't entirely mind another one if it included some CD songs on it. I can't knock the GH since it's what got me into the band and music in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiraMPD Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I would call it "Guns N' Roses: You Wanted the Best" or "Guns N' Roses: So Here's What You Get."Guns N' Roses: "Well you get what you deserve..."...but then again that would be a blank CD....

YOUCOULDBEMINE. Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I'd call it Chinese Democracyproblem?There were no hits on that album at all let alone greatest ones.I know, and ''Since I Don't Have You'' is the greatest thing any line-up of GN'R ever produced and needed to be on a Greatest Hits album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young_Gun Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Explain to me why people want to buy an album full of songs they already own????It's pointless. Especially in this day and age where it is easier to just make up your own tracklist and have those songs burnt in any order you prefer. The Guns N' Roses GH album has some terrible choices and omissions on there... A while back record labels would force bands to put a greatest hit album out(like Oasis) as their last obligation to the record label, it would count as a 'release' and the band would be one album closer to fulfilling it's contract. Noel Gallagher said he was involved with the tracklist and packaging of the Greatest Hits only because it would have sucked if it were left strictly to the label...
