Remastered. Use Your Illusion I found Axl Rose ranting on songs about being sued by a neighbour (“Right Next Door to Hell”), dysfunctional relationships (“Back off Bitch”), and a drug overdose (“Coma”). The band scored three top 40 hits with a Wings cover (“Live and Let Die”), a piano-driven, Elton Hohn-flavoured epic (“November Rain”), and a hard-edged ballad (“Dont 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.”
