LA RECENSIONE

The Guns'n'Roses 'Greatest Hits' is one of the best-made compilations. Not many others are as complete as this one, which features a substantial 14 major tracks from the band.

Firstly, it must be said that their rock is energetic, and in its own way, it brought a new twist to the late '80s. By now, Axl Rose's powerful voice and Slash's guitar have gone down in history.

The must-listen tracks are definitely: "Welcome to the Jungle, Sweet Child o' Mine, Paradise City, Don't Cry" and (if desired) also "Civil War". But above all, what I consider their greatest composition: "November Rain", a masterpiece through and through. But none of the tracks should be discarded, none is truly useless. Each of them helps you delve deeper into the world of the band.

Perhaps I exaggerate, but I could say that one can love this group even just by owning said album. For the simple fact that it is truly complete. But I obviously recommend everyone (if the genre suits you) to at least get "Appetite for Destruction," followed by "Use Your Illusion I and II," and for the fanatics, "Live Era '87-'93."

An album for beginners and experts, from a band that almost everyone has heard of...

 Axl Rose above all. A being in my opinion excessively egocentric, towards the musicians he collaborated with and especially towards the fans.

 The problem is that even the band members didn’t want it released... A senseless commercial operation.

 "When I hear 'Welcome To The Jungle,' I get so charged with energy that I want to tear the world apart."

 "I wrote this review not with my head but with my heart... one of the first bands that made me dream."

 The question to ask isn’t 'Is this album good or bad?' but rather 'Was it necessary?'

 If you already know enough about Guns ’N’ Roses, you’d be better off spending your money differently.
