Guns N' Roses:"Welcome to the Jungle -- The Very Best of Guns N' Roses." -12/20/05
Although the track list has yet to be announced, Geffen has set a Dec. 20 release date for the double-disc set "Welcome to the Jungle -- The Very Best of Guns N' Roses." It will be the second such GNR package since the spring of 2004 and follows "Greatest Hits," which has sold 2.5 million copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Guns N' Roses, which now features lone original member Axl Rose, has been at work for years on a new studio album, "Chinese Democracy." It is unknown when the album will see the light of day.

What the..? A double disc "Very Best of.."?? A year and a half after a previous greatest hits album too? I'm wondering what the hell else this new release could possibly offer (I already have all of GN'R's official releases plus some bootleg stuff). Here's a wacky idea: let's get "Chinese Democracy" finished instead.

Maybe this one is approved by the Axl, Slash and co. The first one wasn't, they sued Geffen to stop it... Anyway I didn't get the first one, it was bullshit that ESTRANGED wasn't on it, maybe this one will along with IT'S SO EASY , COMA and.... I'll get this one.

For any people looking to get into them, just buy their 4 CD's, buy 'em new, used, on ebay, whatever, there are so many amazing songs from them.

Axl, wake up!!!!
I say 3.5 albums. Lies only has four new studio tracks and the four live songs aren't that great(bad recordings).
Think about what Axl has done. With only three and a half albums, he is the freaking rockstar that he is. G n R has more of a legacy than a lot of bands that have a dozen albums out.
I just wish Axl would just get off his ass and make some NEW music already. I hate greatest hits and without buying the actual albums you will be missing out on some amazing songs.
And I agree with Estranged, but Dead Horse shouldn't be forgotten either...

i'm down for it. both UYI albums have tons of awful filler. but the good songs are mindblowing. provided the necessary ones are all here, this will compliment Appetite For Destruction nicely.

Jeezus, what a joke!
I guess the record company has to make that money they've been pumping into the vaporware "Chinese Democracy" album somehow.
It kills me that they're putting out a SECOND greatest hits collection for a band that only released out three full albums.* And a double-disc one at that! And it's called "The Very Best of Guns 'n Roses."
__________
* Appetite for Destruction, Use Your Illusion I, Use Your Illusion II. "Lies" a compilation of aa live EP/demo and an EP of new material; the "Spaghtetti Incident" was a collection of covers.

GnR probably do have one of the best album/good song ratios compared to any other rock/metal band out there. I also suggest that someone just spend the extra $8, and get Appetite/Illusion 1&2.

Why not remaster the albums? People would buy a hell of a lot more copies of a remastered Appetite than another greatest hits package.
