For me, you take the best tracks from this album and the best from "Use Your Illusion I" and you have one of the best albums that ever recorded. I' m a big fan of Guns huge debut album and I like a lot the "Use Your Illusion I & II". My main problem back then, and still is, was the numerous songs of both albums. But lets start from this one ..."Use Your Illusion II" . When this album released back in 1991 was a big success, sold millions of copies and every kid was dreamin' to be a rock n' roll star! The main ingridiens of the album were: attitude, big & loud guitars and anger!! Yes the guys back then were angry! Just listen to the "Get in the Ring " and you will know what I mean. Also in this album we find the big-hit of the band, "You Could Be Mine " which was a song included in the movie "Terminator II" . Other highlights are " Estranged ", "Civil War " and "Shotgun Blues" . The second version of "Don't Cry" , with different lyrics, is pointless!!! All in all this is a very interesting release with some big highlights!!!
