Greatest Hits

Description

Finally available, this Greatest Hits covers the five years of the apocalyptic career of Guns N' Roses, the legendary band marked by Axl Rose's whiny voice and Slash's cutting guitar. Before being annihilated in the maelstrom of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll, the Americans recorded, between 1987 (Appetite For Destruction) and 1993 (The Spaghetti Incident?), a slew of hits enriched with hard rock reminiscent of Led Zeppelin and AC/DC. Featuring rock anthems like "Welcome To The Jungle" and "You Could Be Mine," romantic ballads such as "Sweet Child O' Mine" and "Don't Cry," and eloquent covers like Dylan's "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" and McCartney's "Live and Let Die," Guns N' Roses became the icon of a generation. This historical compilation confirms that status, which, in addition to the band's classics, includes an instrumental, "Patience," and a track from the soundtrack of the film Interview with the Vampire, "Sympathy For The Devil."
