Released by Geffen in part because of the delay in the making of Chinese Democracy, the album is subject to lawsuits by band member Axl Rose and former band members in an attempt to block it's release due to it's track listing.Good quality product and sound with a good mixture of tracks what more can I say I just want a hat like Slash. Not such an easy task when you consider that these 'bad' boys have only managed 5 albums in 17 years (actually only three proper ones).

The clue's in three of the first four tracks (''Welcome To The Jungle'', ''Sweet Child O' Mine'', ''Patience''). Axl Rose immediately tried to block the release by suing Geffen, saying it would ruin his focus on Chinese Democracy and if he were to get the album finished and released sooner, the Greatest Hits album would be selling more, leaving the album unnoticed. In a positive review, NME stated " It’s packed with pomp, spunk and circumstance, makes blokes want to fight and girls want to dance.The album received mixed reviews, with several critics complaining of the track listing, feeling several notable songs were missing. Listening to the sun-drenched chords of "Paradise City" and the ensuing stadium-sized swagger is enough to make wearing leather trousers and bandanas seem like a good idea. A power house rock group from the 90's and John Connors favorite band - well worth some investment, whether your reliving your youth or new to GNR. The album has proven a popular seller, selling over six million copies in the United States by 2018.
