whenever gnr is being discussed. If you take the best song from both and made them one cd, it would have easily been on par with appetite.
The main complaint that comes to mind is that the double cd was "bloated" but imo a lot the second tier songs songs were still pretty good. the only one i actually dont like is "my world," which was clearly all axl's doing, but the rest were cool. Since back then, you couldnt go online and find the "throwaway" tracks, im glad they released it the way they did instead of one CD, cause then we would prob never heard the other songs
