"G N' R Lies" served as an excellent pacifier between "Appetite" and "Use Your Illusion" for die hard G N' R fans. Guns N' Roses really exhibit their talent, even in their early stage, in the first 4 live tracks, which originally appeared on the independent release "@#$! Like a Suicide." "Reckless Life" is the best of these early songs. It allows fans to experience the raw energy of the band. In regards to the second half of the album (1988 studio recorded tracks), "One in a Million", despite the profanity, has to be the best. The riff is the catchiest on the album, and Axl is in top form vocally. This album is a must for true Guns N' Roses fans.

»G N' R Lies« makes the link between Guns N'Roses' debut album »Appetite For Destruction«'s garage-like rock with no compromises, and the two more polished and very artistic »Use Your Illusion« albums.

The first four songs, from 1986, are pure hardrock'n'roll. Especially track 3 and 4 - the rocking and melodic »Move To The City« and the swinging »Mama Kin« with its great rhythm (try to listen to this one with headphones on!) - are very worthwile.

The 1988 songs are more balanced and varied. »Patience« remains one of Guns N'Roses' most beautiful and fragile ballads, and the funny »Used To Love Her« as well as the lyrically very interesting »One In A Million« (the latter is not featured on new pressings - so be sure to buy the original version of »G N' R Lies« before it's too late!!) are tracks which highly justify the quality of this album.
