Guns N' Roses - Use Your Illusion Vol.1 (CD 1991)

What an album, timeless as well.

If you had to choose 1 Guns and Roses album out of all of them this would have to be it.

Sit back with a beer and turn it up!

First things first, its Guns N Roses, so what can i say... What an album, ALL fantastic songs!!!
Just make sure to buy Use your illusion 2 at the same time!!

A must have for any rock or metal fan, but also an enjoyable album for those new to the genre.

Although others may prefer the all-out balls of Appetite for Destruction, the Use Your Illusion albums offer a slightly more mature edge to the onslaught that is Guns N' Roses. Offering more light and shade perhaps than the previous album and EP, Use Your Illusion 1 begins heavy with "Right Next Door to Hell" and ends with a more experimental and though provoking edge in "Coma". The album includes the classics such as "Don't Cry" and "November Rain" and the raucous cover of Paul McCartney's "Live and Let Die". It also includes fun, teasing tracks such as "Dead Horse" and "You Ain't the First", bitter songs such as "Don't Damn Me" and "Bad Obsession" and also a rare chance to hear the vocal stylings of Izzy Stradlin' on "Dust N' Bones" and "Double Talkin' Jive", before he left the band at the time of the Use Your Illusion tours to be replaced by Gilby Clarke.

Probably a slightly harder sound overall than some of the more introspective songs on Use Your Illusions 2, but both albums are a wide range of examples of what wonderful things Guns N' Roses could do when all talents were combined.

I bought this item for my boyfriend as a birthday present. He couldn't find it anywhere. He was well chuffed when he got it and plays it constantly, I've even started to listen to it a lot, it's great!

I've got all Guns n Roses cds but I'm buying the collection again for my nephew who loves them. This is an excellent cd, well all of them are really haha.

If you love GnR then you will love this CD combined with Use Your Illusion II. It combines all their best songs from the first few albums and is classic GnR all the way.

Good sound quality and a great listen.

Use Your Illusion I is the more rocking of the two albums, consisting mostly of shorter songs and a couple of epics. Alas, far too many of these songs (particularly towards the end) are fast paced chuggers that thrash about with loads of energy but far too few hooks, making the album (easily the weaker of the two) a bit monotonous and boring over the long haul.

Not as good as Appetite for Destruction but still a very good album! A must have for all great fans!

Not quite as good as Illusions II but still some great tracks and if you've got one you gotta have the other!

This CD contins a greates music I ever hear.The songs is still emotional as in "Apettit For Destruction",but here have more complicat sound.Yuo can find some realy epic balads or songs which mike you feel things you never thinking about.The saound is exelend,profecional.Just have to be warned this CD contins some strong languge!

does not beat appertite 4 descruction album but is good....................................................................................

most of the tracks i love. this is one of the best albums by guns and roses i feel, along with use your illusion 2!

i bought the cd for my niece for her birthday just so i didnt have to give her my copies of the cds, the only thing wrong with the cds was the cases where a bit damaged but thats it really and she is enjoying them
