About this item
It may surprise some to realize that Guns N Roses released only four full-length original albums, and two of those debuted simultaneously. But they were enough to forever change rock n roll. Even more shocking is that one of the great bands in rock history, with its last studio album issued 10 years ago, has never had a "best of" compilation. Now it has. Welcome to the jungle with Greatest Hits (Geffen), released March 23, 2004. With 14 selections housed in a digipak, Greatest Hits features all eight of the bands Top 40 Billboard Hot 100 tracks (five of them RIAA-certified "gold," i.e., sales of more than 500,000 units). Along with spanning the groups five album releases, Greatest Hits also marks the debut on a Guns N Roses album of the bands cover of the Rolling Stones "Sympathy For The Devil" for the 1995 film Interview With The Vampire.
