3 years after their last album Axl Rose and his companions returned with a blast with 2 double albums and this is the "first" one, but the 2 albums were released at the same time in september 1991. It marks a change in the band's music since other members than Rose sang on some songs, they included longer songs and they got inspiration from other kinds of music than hard rock which can clearly be heard throughout the album, and I think it adds to the sheer quality to many of the songs. With 76 minutes of music it may seem like too much but this album never gets dull or boring. A great party album still in 2013!

Matt Sorum from The Cult replaced Steven Adler on the album because of Adler's drug problems.

The album has sold 5,5 million copies!!

1)Right next door to hell (8,0) Kick ass kick start!

2)Dust'n'bones (7,5)

3)Live and let die (7,0) Paul McCartney-cover.

11)The garden (7,5) Featuring Alice Cooper.

12)Garden of Eden (7,0) Full tilt rock'n'roll chaos!

13)Don't damn me (9,0) An absolutely grat hardrock song! This albunm never gets boring, that's for sure!
