I got this album due to its repuation as being the greatest metal album of all-time, yada yada, but I was sorely disapointed. This CD stinks. It is plain to anyone with ears that Guns N' Roses is just a huge rip-off of Creed. "Welcome to the Jungle" is a third rate "What if." "Sweet Child 'O Mine" is a poor man's "With Arms Wide Open." And the list goes on and on. That hack Axl Rose is such a Scott Strapp wannabe it's not even funny. All of Slash's solos are straight out of Mark Tremonti's songbook. Anyone who says this CD is good doesn't know a thing about rock n' roll.
