G N’ R Lies by Guns N Roses
G N’ R Lies is an album by Guns N Roses, released in 1988. 5 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 98 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Patience”, on 81 lists with a best position of #22.
G N' R Lies, the second Guns N' Roses album, came out on Geffen on November 29, 1988, and it's a strange, lopsided beast: older material stitched together with a batch of new acoustic songs. At 33 and a half minutes it's the shortest album they ever made, and it's the last full one from the five-piece of Axl Rose, Slash, Izzy Stradlin, Duff McKagan and Steven Adler.
The loud stuff is Los Angeles gutter rock with the amps cranked; the unplugged songs show another face entirely. "Patience", slow and aching, was the only single and went to number four on the Hot 100, and the album itself reached number two on the Billboard 200 on its way to shipping more than five million copies in America. "Used to Love Her", "Mama Kin", "Move to the City" and "Nice Boys" have all made the countdowns too.
