I will buy it.

I don't have Sympathy for the Devil on CD. I have it as an MP3 somewhere backed up on a CD from my old computer. Also, these songs are all remastered. I'm looking forward to hearing Welcome. SCOM, Paradise City, Patience, etc. sounding much fuller. Like buddy said ahead of me, it's a great mix to have in the car or to take to the gym to workout to. Sure I could make it myself, but it woulnd't sound nearly as good!

I agree with the lot of you that are buying it because you want it, and are not giving into what a bunch of people on this site are believing. Everything we're hearing is all speculation. Even if Axl posted something official (god forbid) on the gnronline.com site saying don't buy it because I'm not "endorsing" it, I'd still buy it. I like to make my own choices in life...

I highly doubt this will be a bare bones CD. When the DVD's came out last year, there wasn't nearly this much buzz going around. There's a reason there....

Everyone here will have a copy by March 24. I can just see the posts on how good it sounds after the remastering. None of you will want to live without it.

It's a digipack.

exactly...  The next officail thing from GnR.. nobody knows shit about whats inside it, like i said maybe an access code for a website, maybe enhanced cd, .... nobody knows shit but the tracklisting,....and coz some nerd "insider" on the internet said Axl didnt sanction it then all these fools are sending emails and petitions against something they know nothing about......we are  getting a fucking CD and and a concert in the next 3 months...and everyone is crying like a bunch of 3rd grade bitches... as much as you internet insiders like to think you know so much....fact is you dont know shit about this CD or what Uncle Axl has planned...

Nope - won't buy it - have all this already and I don't care how pretty it looks!  This is for the fakers and the nostaglic.  I disagree strongly with its release.  Collectionists will buy it to have everything and I think that is an unfair cash grab.  The Beatles do this shit - release Sgt. Pepper in Japan on swirled pink and white vinyl with a collectors coin and shit.... just to milk the fans for the same old stuff.  I don't agree this is fair to collectors...... and a note to collectors - don't even buy this - it will be worthless to you in the end anyhow.  If they thew me a bone and but a bonus DVD with it or put it on vinyl - perhaps I'd consider it but that isn't happening so why bother.  This release is greedy tripe from the label.  I hope it blows up in their face.

I'm not planning on buying it, there's nothing new.

If the sound quality is dramatically improved, I might consider it, but it'd have to be a pretty noticeable difference.

I dont think Ill buy it either unless something must see is inside or whatever. This cd isnt directed at us anyway but to the general public or kids who dont own it or wont buy the complete cds or whatever.
Forget about this GH thing already its stupid!

YES! I shall buy it!

WHY ARE YOU GUYS MOANING ON ABOUT IT!
I'm confused!

I'm not being nasty but we should be greatful for this!
The cover looks mint! The songs are cool too!
Ok as Izzy told me Less covers, and put Estranged on it- fine! But still.... its up to them aint it!

I know you all want Chinese Democracy!
but i mean god dudes its saying to the world that soon CD will be released and AXL will raise hell on peoples asses! hee hee!!  hihi

We should be greatful and not moan- Good things {CD} will come to those who wait!  ok
so wait a little more!
And don't say "But we're tired of waiting!"
Just have Patience!  Tongue

Why?
Cos it HAS NOT taken 10-8 yrs for him to be lazy and mess us around- its not that at all!
Axl has had to come up with a whole range of songs, get a band, he's very busy and has been very busy to make THREE cds full of GREAT songs! You'll see!!  Grin
Am I right?!?  Huh

{Don't start throwing threats at me- i'm just a gurl!  nervous }

When GH was first rumored last year, I was vehemently against buying it. But I change my mind about things all the time. Now I think I'll probably get it because of improved sound quality (for SCOM alone, plus the others) and because at the end of the day, GNR is my favorite band and they mean a lot to me. Plus, hell, I spent $150 for tickets so my girlfriend and I could watch a virtual live greatest hits during the Fall '02 tour, why not $12 for a cd?

5 covers... shall I repeat that?  I said 5 COVERS!!

The track listing is a fucking disgrace.  I have met (ignorant) people who think that all GN'R's best songs are covers.  Someone even thought that Nov Rain was by the Beatles!  This GH is not doing the band any favours except one thing - money (which is the bottom line on why this is getting released).

The sound will be improved, and you will like it very much.

I don't see why you people are complaining.  Not everybody is a hardcore gnr spaz (most people aren't),  and greatest hits are usually bought by casual fans, not diehards. Take it easy,  the world doesn't revolve around a small percentage of diehards, and GnR isnt obligated to cater to your needs...you have to look at the big picture, namely the casual music listeners.

That being said, I probably will not buy it, but have nothing against it being released.

you bet your ass i'll buy it!  Maybe if Axl sees a lot of sales it will make him confident to put out Chinese Democracy, or who the fuck knows, maybe the release date inside the booklet like I think the release date for a Cheap Trick cd was in the Greatest Hits booklet too!  And I own all the songs except for Sympathy for Devil, a reason why I will buy it but not only that, yeah we own all the discs, but you don't all the best songs on one disc, like what if your listening to fuckin Sweet Child O' Mine and you wanna hear Knockin on Heaven's Door, you gonna switch your fucking discs every time!?  No, you just buy The Greatest Hits cd and they are both on there.  I love Greatest Hits cds, they r fuckin' great.  I'm excited as hell about this cd and cannot wait. ok
