If Use Your Illusion was one album (your tracklist)

[groupie]

i can't...i like 'em just the way they are so i just can't decide. i could cut some songs i like less than the others but i'd still be more than 20 songs left, so i tried...but i can't.
JUST LEAVE 'EM!!!!

[gnrvrrule]

I believe a CD can only be 80 minutes long, so here's my tracklist (no order):

1.? Live and Let Die
2.? Don't Cry (original)
3.? Double Talkin' Jive
4.? November Rain
5.? Dead Horse
6.? Coma
7.? Civil War
8.? Knockin' On Heaven's Door
9.? Pretty Tied Up (The Perils of Rock & Roll Decadence)
10.? Estranged
11.? You Could Be Mine
12.? Yesterdays
13.? Locomotive (Complicity)
14.? 14 Years
If there was a little more room, I'd add Dust N' Bones, Don't Damn Me, Bad Obsession, and Breakdown.

[mandy2965]

ya i agree that would have been a kick ass album start to finish, no skipping some songs, but it would have been choppy, a ballad here, a fast song there.

as for appetite, its just right start to finish, thats why it can't be topped as an album

i couldn't of said it better myself
 

[Jamie]

Both albums are amazin from start to finish, why not a 2-disc album with all the same songs?! Even my world, which is one of the best songs in history!

[MrBrownstone]

IMO, filler material on UYIs includes:

Get in the Ring
My World
Back off Bitch
Right Next Door to Hell
You Ain't the First
Bad Apples
Shotgun Blues

If they had removd these tracks and cut out one version of Don't Cry, Dead Horse, So Fine, Double Talkin' Jive, Knockin' on Heaven's Door and Civil War, then what would have been left would have been as good as AFD IMO.

/Pretty

Get in the Ring a filler??? This is on my personal best of GNR CD.

My Illusion album would be (although one album is not enough):

Civil War
Live and Let Die
Yesterdays
You Could Be Mine
Coma
Don't Cry (Original)
Bad Obsession
Knockin' On Heaven's Door
Double Talkin' Jive
Get In The Ring
November Rain
Dead Horse
The Garden
Estranged
14 Years (Bonus Track)

To me the fillers are:

Breakdown
My World
Don't Cry (Alt Lyrics)
You Ain't the First

[*Izzy*]

To me the fillers are:

Breakdown
My World
Don't Cry (Alt Lyrics)
You Ain't the First

You Ain't the First and Don't Cry (Alt Lyrics) are definetley not filler?

  Izzy?

[Syren]

Even my world, which is one of the best songs in history!

There's so many songs on the Illusion twins that I simply skip on my mp3 player every time - so my "perfect" Use Your Illusion album would be as following:

1. You Could Be Mine 
2. Don't Damn Me 
3. Back Off Bitch 
4. Coma 
5. Dust N' Bones 
6. Knockin' On Heaven's Door   
7. Civil War 
8. 14 Years 
9. November Rain 
10. Breakdown   
11. Pretty Tied Up 
12. Locomotive (Complicity)
13. Estranged 
14. Don't Cry (Alt. Lyrics) 

[reckless_life]

The fact that every single "best of" UYI list is different shows that it was probably for the best that GN'R released 2 albums. If the one UYI album had looked anything like the compilation released a few years ago, it would probably be collecting dust on my shelf now, rather than me still listening to both albums more than a year after i got them (yes I'm one of the greatest hits generation). But just for the hell of it:

1. Locomotive
2. Don't Cry
3. Dust N Bones
4. Don't Damn me
5. 14 Years
6. Double Talkin Jive
7. Civil War
8. You Could Be Mine
9. Estranged
10. Live & Let Die
11. November Rain

[slash4ever]

I think it probably would've been better to realease 2 separate albums under 2 separate titles.

That way, we'd still get to have ALL the songs, and not want to make cuts on the shite ones. 

[slash4ever]

1. Right Next Door To Hell
2. Live And Let Die
3. Don't Cry (original)
4. You Aint The First
5. Bad Obsession
6. Double Talkin' Jive
7. November Rain
8. The Garden
9. Garden Of Eden
10. Dead Horse
11. Coma
12. Civil War
13. 14 Years
14. Knockin' On Heaven's Door
15. Get In The Ring
16. Pretty Tied Up
17. Locomotive
18. Estranged
19. You Could Be Mine
20. My World

Yeah that's probably too long, maybe you could take out 14 years, you aint the first or bad obsession maybe

Hey there all Izzy's songs dude!

[*Izzy*]
