the Gunners' third album...
was part of a two album simultaneous release with,you guessed it,"use your illusion II"...
this one isnt too bad...
theres a few covers on here including the Wings Bond Theme "live and let die" amongst others...
several of the songs arent even sung by Axl and theres a couple of overblown self indulgent lengthy tracks....
theres a bit of filler on here also, well, there would be when you release a couple of albums at the same time(remember Springsteen with "human touch"/"lucky town"??)
with a quarter of the album just not cutting it for me...
only saving grace really is the sublime rock ballad "november rain", but again, its nine minutes long, and overblown, but i still love it...

I LIKE THIS ALBUM
