It seems that the rumoured Guns N' Roses 'Greatest Hits Vol 2' compilation is actually to see the light of day, although Internet sources can't seem to make their minds up as to whether it will be just before Christmas, or as seems more likely, sometime in the spring. What would seem to be the best of the bunch is the one from a Universal Music Norway source that told a GUNS N' ROSES fan site that the album is actually due in March 2006. No further details are currently available, not entirely surprising that one.
The bigger question should really be, what the hell is going to go on such an album as, a quick look down the track listing for Volume 1, which incidentally has sold just under 2.5 million copies in the U.S alone, and a bit of research in the 'British Book of Hit Singles' confirms that, there are no more actual hits to put on a 'Greatest Hits Vol 2'!
The other amusing part of this story is the fact that Guns N' Roses singer Axl Rose and fellow original members Slash and Duff McKagan tried to block the 'Greatest Hits' release by arguing in a lawsuit that Geffen Records was putting out the CD without their input. Geffen officials countered that by saying that they wouldn't have released the hits compilation if Rose had delivered the long-promised album 'Chinese Democracy', which has been in the works for nine years.
