GUNS N' ROSES: 'The Very Best' Two-CD Collection To Arrive Next Month?

November 17, 2005

According to MusicTap, Geffen Records will release a two-CD "best of" collection from GUNS N' ROSES, entitled "Welcome to the Jungle: The Very Best of Guns N' Roses". This set will reportedly come in both "Parental Advisory" and edited forms and will be available to fans on December 20, just in time for gift-giving.

Late last month, a spokesperson for Geffen confirmed to Launch that a second GUNS N' ROSES greatest hits album was coming. MusicTap had previously reported a tentative release date of December 6, but other sources, including Universal Music Norway, suggested a March 2006 arrival for the disc. The label spokesperson did not have information on a release date or any other details about the set.

The first GUNS N' ROSES hits collection, released in March of 2004, has sold nearly 2.5 million copies in the U.S. GUNS N' ROSES vocalist Axl Rose, along with former guitarist Slash and ex-bassist Duff McKagan, tried to block the release of "Greatest Hits" with a lawsuit, claiming that the record label had assembled the CD without their input.

The band's label, Geffen Records, insisted that it was forced to put out a greatest hits album since Axl Rose had failed to deliver the long-delayed new GUNS album, "Chinese Democracy". That project has still not been scheduled for release.
