Had Use Your Illusion II been combined with Use Your Illusion I, keeping only the best material while dropping the filler, it would have been one of the best rock albums ever recorded. Instead, great songs like "Civil War," "14 Years," "Estranged," and "So Fine" compete with the inexcusable "Get in the Ring" and the well-intentioned but off-target cover of "Knockin' on Heaven's Door." There's no point to the second version of "Don't Cry," either. On the other hand, when Guns N' Roses were good, they were very, very good, and some of the material on this album is unsurpassable. --Genevieve Williams
"Guns N Roses were slowly killing themselves regardless of what album you say. I could just throw Appetite for Destruction in here and say it was the death of them. This band had a lot, and I mean a lot to live up to after Appetite for Destruction. Every album was just a disappointment compared to Appetite for Destruction.
Before Use Your Illusion 1 and 2 you had 'Lies' which was a very weak album to it's predecessor. When they did the GNR greatest hits, they only included one of the singles fr"
"Really, releasing a double album was just an exercise in money making. They should (and could) have released one killer album that got rid of the ridiculous filler. There's about a dozen fantastic songs, both albums combined, what an album that would have made.
Highlights: Kicks off with trilogy of awesome songs - Civil War, 14 years, Yesterdays. The epic Estranged is another standout song.
My ideal "Use Your Illusion" picking from both albums:
1. Right Next Door to Hell
2. Dust N' Bones
3. Li"
