The Album has 14 Tracks as the Greatest Hits of Guns N´ Roses. The first Half has the tracks: "Welcome to the Jungle", "Sweet Child O´Mine" and "Paradise City", from their first album: "Appetite For Destruction". The album reached No.1 and considered as the Most selling album in history. These Tracks reached: 7, 1, 5; respectively in the Billboard American Charts. "Welcome to the jungle" was part as a soundtrack for the movie "The Dead Pool".
In 1989 Guns N´ Roses won Best Heavy metal Album for "Appetite For Destruction", Best Heavy Metal Song for "Paradise City", and Best Rock-Pop Song of the Year for "Sweet Child O' Mine". The track "Patience" reached No.4 in Billboard American Charts, single from the second album of the band "GN´R Lies: The Sex, The Drugs, The Violence, The Shocking Truth" which reached No.2 in Album Charts. Along with it´s first album made GN´R the only band with two different albums simultaneously in the Top 5 Album Chart.
The other three tracks are: "Knockin´ On Heavens Door" (No.2 In England), "Civil War" and "You Could be Mine", from the album: "Use Your Illusion II". Both "Use Your Illusion I and II", also reached the Top 5 Album Chart as it did their first two albums No.2 and No.1 respectively, and Not only that, they were No.1 in both USA and the UK simultaneously. No other band did this before.
"Knockin´ On Heavens Door" is a remake from Bob Dylan, and was part of the soundtrack for the Movie "Days of Thunder". "Civil War" was a protest war about War, appeared on the 1990 album "Nobody's Child: Romanian Angel Appeal", a fundraising compilation for Romanian orphans. "You Could Be Mine" is the second song most sold of the band and soundtrack of Terminator II.
These are just a few reasons why this is A MUST HAVE for all GNR fans and collector as well. I bought two, one for my brother and another for me. I also bought the rest of GNR albums, so check out more review, and continuing story of this Band.
Thanks.
