Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Part one of Guns N' Roses' ambitious second album is arguably the better of the two. It certainly rocks harder, though this seems to be more coincidence than anything else; which songs went on which CD looks to have been a random selection. Use Your Illusion I stays closer to the band's bluesy hard-rock roots, with guitarist Izzy Stradlin contributing some of the best songs, including "Dust N' Bones" and "You Ain't the First". "November Rain" (clocking in at over nine minutes) became an instant classic, and there are a fair number of straight-ahead rockers, such as "Perfect Crime", "Don't Damn Me", and "Garden of Eden". Taking the best from this album and Use Your Illusion II would have made a killer single CD, but there's enough good stuff here to make it worthwhile. --Genevieve Williams

CD Description

Four years after becoming an uninvited guest at the party that is the music industry with its seminal debut, APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION, Guns N' Roses released USE YOUR ILLUSION I &II. Thanks to a reckless approach toward life and music, G N' R was constantly at the centre of controversy and the result was that much of it was chronicled on this two-volume project. By this time, original drummer Steven Adler had been dismissed due to alleged drug dependency problems and was replaced by the Cult's Matt Sorum. Keyboardist Dizzy Reed was also added as a member.
ILLUSION I found Axl Rose rantingon songs about being sued by a neighbor ("Right Next Door to Hell"), dysfunctional relationships ("Back Off Bitch"), and a drug overdose ("Coma"). Amid all the spewed bile, G N' Rscored three Top 40 hits with a Wings cover ("Live and Let Die"), a piano-driven, Elton John-flavoured epic ("November Rain"), and a hard-edged ballad ("Don't Cry"). Celebrity cameos include a then unknown Shannon Hoon, Hanoi Rocks' Mike Monroe, and Alice Cooper, who makes a particularly sinister contribution to "The Garden".

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST, 3 Feb 2006
By A Customer
This review is from: Guns N' Roses - Guns 'n' Roses - Use Your Illusion World Tour 1992 - In Tokyo - Vol. 1 [DVD] (DVD)
I bought two of the DVD's from my local shop and I am so impressed with use your illusion volume 1 that I cant stop listening to it, Axl's voice is pretty much the best its gonna be for a live stage and his energy is second to non, and the guitar work by Slash, Gilby and Duff is amazing, the introduction to Mr brownstone is the best version I have ever seen, the wonderful "wild horses" which really shows just how talented and gifted slash is, the atmostphere is amazing and just proves how popular Guns N Roses are even in Tokyo, for many reasons this is the best DVD of any music event I have seen and one of the reasons is that Axl talks with the audience and sings the songs with such passion, this is definatly worth buying as you will never regret it

5.0 out of 5 stars IT RULES!!!!!, 22 Feb 2006
This review is from: Guns N' Roses - Guns 'n' Roses - Use Your Illusion World Tour 1992 - In Tokyo - Vol. 1 [DVD] (DVD)
This DVD rules! If you are a proper GN'R fan, you will love this. If you have never been to a GN'R concert, this is the next best thing. If you buy this, it is money well spent. It shows how good Slash is at the guitar as he plays brillant solo's and how good Axl is at the peak of his carrer!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Making the stadiums their own, 30 Oct 2005
By Mr. D. A. Cure "Sir Danalot" (Droitwich) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
There were rumours flying around at the time that there would be a Use Your Illusion III, which would have a green cover and include the best of the two volumes. A great deal of opinion has sided with this since, claiming that an amalgamation of the best tracks from the 2 albums would have produced possibly the greatest album ever. I disagree. Which tracks would they have dropped? Some of the best work they produced would perhaps have been lost, and given the fact that the band has since faded away into Axl - induced obscurity, it was essential for them to release as much as they could in their heyday.
The first of these two volumes is best known for the November Rain opus, along with the singles, Don’t Cry, the cover Live and Let Die, and The Garden of Eden. However, the album kicks off in its own right with the excellent Right Next Door to Hell (about Axl’s own neighbour from hell), and moves straight onto the Izzy inspired Dust N Bones. Hidden gems include Bad obsession, The Garden (with great slide work, and Mr Alice Cooper), and the Coma epic. It is Double Talkin Jive, though, where Slash’s genius really shines through - a blistering guitar workout, fading into a classical guitar piece, before November Rain.
A completely different sound to their legendary debut album, but in the same way as the Stones moved from Aftermath to Their Satanic Majesties Request, this should be regarded in its own light, and really does offer something for everyone. A must have.
