I wonder how much in royalties they got from the album Slash, Duff and Axl tried to stop from coming out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a many covers on that album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sisyphus Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I never bought it. The tracklist is a travesty. The fact it became so ridiculously successful makes it even worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And considering they probably made in excess of $50 million each from the tour....the $2 mil wouldn't even come close to even covering their tax bill....lol.

Also, Slash, Duff, Axl and co wanted to stop the release because it was a poor package, they all love making money (as we all do), that was not the issue. Kinda beside the point that it became so successful, but I know what you're getting at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have never known you didn't like it if you never heard it. You don't have to listen to it so it doesn't affect you. Lots of people like it so....back off bitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 A terrible track listing and incredibly bare bones packaging. I get that it focuses on just the "hits" but they could have at least gone the "best of" route to add more variety to counter how many covers it has.

Order of Nine Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 When people bash the album and track listing and lack of content do you take into consideration that the big three didn't even want it released? And it's very possible the label picked everything including the cover art.. It is pretty clear this album was released for politics going on behind the scenes, not a group effort from a band. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in my opinion the album shouldn't have been released. The band had nothing to do with it anyway. It's a travesty. And the casual listeners ate it up because it's the only Guns studio compilation out there. I don't think any of the songs are bad, I like all of them, but three of them are not greatest hits material. It paints the wrong picture. It's a farce.

NIN owed their label a greatest hits album (and I think they still do), but TR didn’t give a shit about it. When it was about to happen, TR released 3 compilation albums online for free on torrent sites (singles, deep cuts, quiet tracks, IIRC) and that stopped the label from releasing it. I guess the lesson is where there is a will, there is a way. But when both sides had thier own new bands to deal with it makes sense for them not really wanting to promote material from the 80s and 90s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RONIN Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I'm glad GH brought some much needed attention to underrated GnR covers like SIDHY, Ain't it Fun, and Sympathy for the Devil. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Bird Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 SIDHY is one of the worst songs GNR have ever recorded. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
