Based on posting reports by major sites, including Amazon.com and Billboard.com, Drummerszone.com previously announced that the double-disc CD would hit store shelves on December 20. The label\'s spokesperson called these reports \"incorrect.\"
The first Guns n\' Roses hits collection, released in March of 2004, has sold 2.56 million copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundsScan. Guns n\' Roses vocalist Axl Rose, along with former guitarist Slash and ex-bassist Duff McKagan, tried to block the release of \"Greatest Hits\" with a lawsuit, claiming that the record label had assembled the CD without their input.
The band\'s label, Geffen Records, insisted that it was forced to put out a greatest hits album since Axl Rose had failed to deliver the long-delayed new Guns album, \"Chinese Democracy\". That project started more than five years ago but has still not been scheduled for release. All drum tracks were played by Brian \"Brain\" Mantia (photo).
