(Finished January 26th, 2019) Classic Rock's The Real 100 Greatest Albums of the 90s #7 "Use Your Illusion 1"

Hello,

Previously I've written about Classic Rock Magazine's The Real 100 Greatest Albums of the 90s, I wrote about the #1 CD on that list Metallica's so-called The Black Album. I decided to reference that list again and this time went their #7 selection Guns N' Roses "Use Your Illusion" parts 1 and 2. Today I'll be focusing on Part 1. This is the longer of the two CDs by 2 more songs.

Listening to this CDs it makes me say they didn't record more music in their career.  Not counting some of their Greatest Hits/ "Spaghetti Incident", a live CD so far Guns N' Roses really only released four proper CDs. Of course one of the greatest CDs ever "Appetite For Destruction" plus both the "Use Your Illusion" CDs. Also there's 2008's disappointing, but it was never going to live up to the hype anyway, "Chinese Democracy". And of course there are rumors about new G N' R music coming, but I'll believe that when I see it.

1) "Right Next Door To Hell":


2) "Dust N' Bones":


G N' R has gone the remake route way too many times, but their cover of this song is epic. 
3) "Live and Let Die":


4) Don't Cry":


5) "Perfect Crime":



6) "You Ain't The First":



7) "Bad Obsession":



8) "Back Off":



9) "Double Talkin' Jive":



A more concise version of "Double Talkin' Jive":



10) "November Rain":



11) "The Garden":



12) "Garden of Eden":



13) "Don't Damn Me":



14) Bad Apples":



15) "Dead Horse":


16) "Coma:
