themadcaplaughs Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) Doing a one disc mix of absolute staples and singles that got some radio play (and limited to 15 tracks) it would be...1. Reckless Life (not a single I admit, but a great declaration to Guns N' Roses)2. Welcome to the Jungle3. Sweet Child O' Mine4. Paradise City5. Patience 6. It's So Easy7. Nightrain 8. You Could Be Mine9. Live and Let Die10. November Rain 11. Knockin' On Heaven's Door12. Don't Cry13. Since I Don't Have You14. Better15. Street of DreamsIt was hard leaving "Estranged" off of the list, but I feel that works better as a "deep cut" in the context of Use your Illusion II. The only "epic" I think is necessary for a compilation would be "November Rain." As for Chinese Democracy, I thought about the title track, but I kept it at "Better" since that seems to be the one that bridges the gap between old and new and "Street of Dreams" so there was a ballad. If you were to throw in the full, two disc, "best of" special treatment I'd throw in "Used to Love Her""Rocket Queen""Dead Horse""Yesterdays""Locomotive""Hair of the Dog" "Chinese Democracy""If the World""Coma" Edited October 21, 2013 by themadcaplaughs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classicguns4life Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) 1. Welcome To The Jungle2. Nightrain3. Sweet Child4. Paradise City5. Reckless Life6. Patience7. Civil War8. November Rain9. Dust N Bones or 14 Years (one of those bluesy Izzy songs)10. Breakdown11. Estranged12. Knockin On Heaven's Door (to show how they can transform someone else's song into their own)13. You Could Be Mine14. Bad Obsession15. Locomotive or Coma (either one of the long epics that truly highlight an Axl and Slash collaboration)These are unequivocally the best Guns N Roses songs. Everything else is personal opinion. They represent all aspects of the band and show each part that made them great and legendary. A disc of my favorites would look much different.Edit: it is also possible for Rocket Queen to sneak in there somewhere. Possibly in the epic slot? It does show their ability to have two completely different songs mesh perfectly into an amazing closer.

wasted Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) GH was the Greatest Hits, the singles not the Best of?Best of1. Welcome to the Jungle2. It's So Easy3. Nightrain4. Mr Brownstone5. Paradise City6. Sweet Child O Mine7. Rocket Queen8. Civil War9. You Could Be Mine10. November Rain11. Don't Cry12. Estranged13. Better14. Street of Dreams15. This I LoveThe only way to balance it out is give each album 4 songs. No covers, no space. I would say Easy, Brownstone, Nightrain need to be on GNR Best of. So some butchery on the way.I think I nailed it. There isn't really anything you really, really have to put on there. 14 years and Yesterdays aren't quite classic enough. UYI build down to 5 tracks. Then the most GNR songs from CD songs that get played live. Edited October 22, 2013 by wasted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prostitutenot sure about 14 & 15, ya have to add some CD but I don't think they were the songs that Guns fans took to as much as some of the others "TWAT, SOD, TIS, Catcher" 2 from CD is probably enough... think of all the classic songs you have to skip over (not taking anything away from CDs songs).

Shackler's and ITW were pre-release singles. Then Chi dem, Better, SOD. I read somewhere the band wanted Shackler's Revenge as the first single. The Best Buy playlist was Chi Dem, ITW, TWAT.Also I look at Nightrain and Brownstone, not sure if Yesterdays, Catcher, TWAT etc.I guess I see Shackler's as like the best rocker, YCBM, Better as SCOM, Madagascar like a Civil War and Prostitute beats out Catcher and TWAT as the epic, the masterpiece. But actually I'd go for CD, Better, SOD, TIL as those were the ones to fly live. Another edit coming. Not sure if it will make it better. In the end although Better is good, it doesn't sound like GNR. So putting in Patience which classic. So SOD sounds like GNR and so does TIL, no one will blink.Best of GNR 1. Welcome to the Jungle2.
