GN'R Re-Release CD For Father's Day

Guns N'Roses are re-releasing their 'Greatest Hits' album, apparently in time for Father's Day (June 15).

According to a press release about the album which will be reissued on June 2, the collection is out again "especially for Father’s Day, as it's most definitely the only album of choice for any serious rockfather".

However, there is still no definitive news whether Axl Rose's long-delayed 'Chinese Democracy' will come out in 2008, despite recent reports that the album is finally finished.

The 'Greatest Hits' album features the following tracks:

01. Welcome To The Jungle
02. Sweet Child O' Mine
03. Patience
04. Paradise City
05. Knockin' On Heaven’s Door
06. Civil War
07. You Could Be Mine
08. Don't Cry (Original)
09. November Rain
10. Live And Let Die
11. Yesterdays
12. Ain't It Fun
13. Since I Don’t Have You
14. Sympathy For The Devil

Why? Why? Why?

Axl didn't want this released in the first place, neither did the rest of the 'original' line up. Money hungry *****s . . .

[Aftertime]

[deadlyMETAL]

It's an album RE-Release, UG, not a RElease!! Don't get us hyped like that please!!

Misled....

For New Zealand at least it's a re-re-release.

[xXParanoiaXx]

Wow..
Seriously, wow..
We want Chinese Democracy dammit, not the Greatest Hits, AGAIN!

[not_dead_enough]

I thought Fathers' Day was in September/October some time...at least in Australia it is, I think...

[Comeback Kiddd]

I hate the title >:o
chuck norris will not be pleased...

[lzrdsixsix6]

**** no one cares just release chinese democracy already

[godberry]

i wasn't aware that it was ever discontinued. i saw it in stores last week. anyways, i hear that chinese democracy will come out in 2008. it will also come out in 2009 and then 2010. it will also never come out. i guess i'm not getting a free dr. pepper.

[OzZY-RuLE5!!!!!]

i remember when gnr were realsing uyi 1 and 2 they orginally said it was greatest hits coming out. so father's day could be the day chinese democracy.

thats why it says album re-release in the title

[Guitar_Jester]

This just retarded. Why the **** would anyone want to buy that? The original one was released 4 years ago :S

Just release CD!!

[Shabalaba]

haha hes in it for teh moneyz

[Cheesepuff]

DANGIT!

GnR Re-Release CD for Fathers Day

CD = Chinese Democracy

lol, I got misled

[FlamingYouth]

"especially for Father’s Day, as it's most definitely the only album of choice for any serious rockfather"

[ComradSputnik]

lol

That's the NME words not Axl's thankfully.

Anyway, to those who may care, you may as well buy the albums cheap off ebay and give them to your father, probably more expensive, more music for your money.


what a twat

[TJ1991]

Chinese Democracy would have been better. But whatever, how stereotypical can it get? Oooh, classic rock for Father's Day. No. Just no.

[Metalology]

lol

checked.

[Chozz]

IS he just TAKING THE PISS?

[Nick-182]

i swear its been released like nine times

[Bongard]

how is it possible to rerelease somthing why the f uck would you want to stop selling it i didnt even now that bands did that

[NutZz?]

congratulations, axl! you have found yet ANOTHER way to drag G'N'R's name through the mud! even more!

[Red33]

He needs the money to pour into the blackhole of Chinese Democracy

[Billy Picken]

It still does not have Mr. Brownstone on it. Axel is NOT right. LOLZ.

[Lost_Rose]

Oh no.....

Why release it on a day for fathers like myself, when for the last ten years we have been trying to forget about Axl and his silly little project.

[Glam-Hammer]

i have the original cd...you can't even read the track listing..

[CaTeArS]

wow.... re-releasing a "greatest hits" cd, not to mention that they didn't want out in the first place..

[C1osur3]

This is what they'll be releasing instead of 'Chinese Democracy.' That makes much more sense to me now,

[GrandeAcure]

That's dumb. They could at least make a "Ultimate hits 2" or something, including songs like Estranged...

[jonnyharris1]

re-releasing a best of... now thats got to be pretry low to sink

[dirtymexican863]

lolz. This reminds me of that South Park episode with "moop." "No, we're just in it for the money."

[jesus the strat]

This might even be a good thing because if it sells, some of the songs might get in a chart and start off the downfall of R&B



but i doubt it

[Pauldapro]

He didn't even put My Michelle or Mr.Brownstone on it. For shame... Even though I hate re-releases anyway but still they are missing some awesome songs.

[This1GoesTo11]

A GNR best of should be 2 CD's. And one of them should be Appetite!

[dimebagsmygod]

Haha . . .

Trying to get the money back they wasted on Chines Democracy :P

[bbbbrooks1]

Chinese Democracy is probably never to release.....it's probably a sick pracctical joke from axl and sebastian

[Bigpooh88]

I have to say that Axl looks like Pickles from Dethklok, (I think Pickle was designed after Axl but..)

[Gunpowder]

Wrong one, Axl!

We want the real CD - Chinese Democracy - not the Greatest Hits again.

[dfallon07]

the only reason theyre re releasing it is because they know chinese democracy wont come out this year so they think this will keep the fans happy until it does come out....which it wont

[silent caution]

nice hair extentions axl

[HukedAnFonix]

Umm...I never knew I couldn't get this in the store still in the first place. How is it really "re-releasing" it if they didn't change anything or change the quality? Sounds like just a money grab to me.

[XtractionProces]

Be gentle with us Axl, we've just come to terms with the fact that you'll never release Chinese Democracy.

That's 14 years we've been waiting, and you give us the same bullshit you gave us 4 years ago. Thanks a lot, *******.

[Soundwash22]

Why re-release it? Didn't it just come out a few years ago?

[HavokStrife]

So when you're a gigantic band and the world has been waiting over a decade for your new album..

You re-release your greatest hits CD.

It's these little lessons in music I'd be nowhere without!!

[Footzyrama]

Shabalaba wrote:

Actually i believe him along with Slash and other members of the original line-up where in court for quite a long period of time against there record company fighting the release of this album

They never wanted either this or the other Greatest hit's to be released

[MeGaDeth2314]

"The [i][only/i] album of choice for any rockfather."

Hahahahahaha! It's a ****ing Greatest Hits album!

[Page/Rhoads]

They, and, but, if, I give up. Axl, either finish the album, or go to hell. Plain and simple.

[sebbsmith]

A re-release of a Greatest Hits? Talk about milking the cash cow.

[fiftysteps]

Talk about pointless....

[Gregoric]

erm....how about they re-release it the day BEFORE father's day so ppl y'know..have time to buy it and wrap it and stuff...rather than dashing to the store early in the morning in a big rush....idiots.

and er, yes...whats the point?

[gwitersnamps]

A desperate attempt at reminder.


"HELLO!!!!! WE'RE STILL HERE!!!!! HEY! YOU! DON'T FORGET US!!!!"

[bi-ah!]

wow that was the most misleading title in UG history

[charlie__flynn]

I love(d) GnR but this is just ridiculous

[_Lewis]

I love how there's a lot of people blaming Axl for this. Axl didn't want a Greatest Hits album in the first place, it was the Industry goons that released one and they're releasing it again because it sells. It sold 9,000 copies in America last week alone (apparently).

[MTVget0FFtheAIR]

it's really not a great representation of Gn'r, but greatest hits rarely do the artist justice.

and it's not a misleading title at all...it ****ing says RE-release.

[Tubyboulin]

9000 Copies in America in a week isnt very much at all...

And yeah, Give us Chinese Democracy, im not even Buying it i just want some Free Dr Pepper.

[Nigzy]

GnR are my favourite band ever but this is bad..Dont see the point in it

[Deek_13]

Mabye its the label thats puting it out again?

[Les Paul Ell]

BWAAAAHAHAHA. Nice one Axl, nice!

[Shread_6009]

we should all rob Axl, so that hes doesnt have any money and is forced to release a NEW cd

i know its a bit harsh, BUT I WANT MY DR. PEPPER

[Roge23]

Tubyboulin :

I want free Dr. Pepper too

[AngryGoldfish]

I don't even care too much for Chinese Democracy now, let alone the Greatest Hits. The only thing I'm looking forward to is some flashy guitar solo's.

[Zangetsu 101]

Why the feck didn't they add Nightrain and Mr Brownstone aaaargh!?!?!?!!!111zzz

[Scorge]

what's beyond my comprehension is that how can you even have a greatest hits of GNR and not include Mr. Brownstone. WHYWHYWHY?????

exactly.

[Imperial]

Sense. This makes none.

[bootyking69]

you know where you are??!! album re release party and we want more money!!

[Pr3vieWX360]

Wow that is incredibly ****in retarded...

Couldnt you like, still buy it anywhere you go? Its not like finding a copy is hard, so they HAVE to re-release it...

[Galvatron]

Man that album is terrible,its all the radio songs that you hear all the time anyways,and sympathy for the devil? they BUTCHER that song and even Slash has said that song is the sound of a band thats breaking up. NOT a great hit. Sad shit.

[Black Revolver]

why is dont cry on there? that song sucks

Lol, thats cause they changed it.

[TheIceCreamMan]

So they're re-releasing a Greatest Hits from a few years ago before the album that's been 10 years + in the making? The logic is infallible.

[Narkumi]

I dont think there was a need to re-issue it, considering you can walk into any Wal-Mart and pick it up for $9.00 still.

But maybe Geffen is raising G'NR awareness to the public by "reissuing" the greatest hits album, so that Chinese Democracy will sell better, later on this year when it's released?

hmm...

[Rocker_94]

That's a cash grab. They didn't want it released in the 1st place and it sold really well, so they are re-issuing it? They should have at least modified it...like throwing in Estranged and Mr. Brownstone, to name a few.

[mzhang13]

Where the hell is "Mr. Brownstone"? That should definitely be up there.

[whitebluesboy]

I don't understand why they would rerelease it, last time I checked there were plenty of copies at my local music store because nobody was buying them.

[redhotsexmagic]

a..friggin..joke.

[Anty 7]

pfff
The actual Guns N' Roses greatest hits is actually called "Appetite for Destruction"

[Jerry Seinfeld]

Holy sheeeit! I only have the re-releases of 'Greatest Hits' from 2000, 2002,2003,2005,2006 and 2007!

I have to Buy this one NOW!

Actually, send me 2 copies JUST IN CASE.

[jthm_guitarist]

Wasn't this released like five years ago and still the only GnR album EVERY store carries?

[GNR'n'A7X]

Haha, this is rediculous... Even when the Greatest Hits was released those are all songs we've already heard. Now they're putting it out again? Sad, fu*k, I can't believe this sh*t. This seriously better be a joke and they are putting out Chinese Democracy on Father's Day. I'd comend them for that but somehow I feel like that won't be the case... EVER.

-DDP

[S.D.M.F.]

What a fricken stupid thing to do, if there are still and Guns N Roses fans out there (current line up) they want Chinese Democracy not a re release of their greatest hits! To be honest, that album isn't their greatest hits, My Michelle isn't even on there!

What a mess, long live Slash

Its been 14 years of silence, its been 14 years of pain.

Its been 14 years that are gone forever and I'll never have again!

Guns N' Roses arent dead... Im pretty sure it was them playing in front of a sold out ACER ARENA SYDNEY show last year... And Axl does not suck, hes a freaking legend!!! none of you have the right to say he sucks because he's done more in his life then any of you guys ever will.. Where are your 100 million albums sold??? When CD is released Axl will rule the world and take back his throne as the greatest rock frontman going today....

The band are not doing it. It is the record label doing it to milk money.

[Dale_By_Blimp]

But why? Its not like it has gone out of circulation or anything. Brazen money-laundering.

[axeslinger0u812]

of course the label is milking the greatest hits for all its worth. if axl never releases chinese democracy, they will see no return on their ridiculous investment. while the article nudges the reader to believe it's the idea of guns and roses, and thus, axl, it is pretty apparent that it is not his idea. why would you fight the release of something, than decie to re-release it? couldn't imagine Pam and Tommy doing that after the sex tape fiasco. highly doubt axl or slash and co. would do it either.

[James_Calalo]

who the heck cares about their greatest hits i think what their fans wanted is chinese democracy unless theres no such album exist what the hell i dont mind axl not a big fan of their group promises are meant to be done

[Nonesta13]

i just saw it out a few months ago..how can the be re-releasing here?

[hew-jass]

i saw this cd today

why is this happening

for years i've stuck up for axl against people

this is horrible

[blinks_not_dead]

Call me an idiot, but when chinese democracy does come out, your all gonna shit yourselves cause it's gonna be an amazing album and your not gonna know what to say cause you've run him down so much. Axl Rose, as we should all know by now, is an absolute perfectionist and will sit in the studio for as long as he has to to get the album out with as few flaws as possible. Unlike velvet revolver who just rushed everything and cut their own throat in doing so.

[blinks_not_dead]

in fact, one of my theories is that it's not even going to be called chinese democracy, that it's gonna be somethin completely different to what we all expected, Axl is a smart man, don't underestimate him.
