It was not a waste of one album, it was a waste of two albums. I can't believe I actually bought them both, thinking I was getting double the GnR. Hell "Lies" was a better effort than "Use Your Illusion".

Wait...what exactly did you find wrong with the Illusion albums? I'll agree that a couple of songs were "filler" and The Don't Cry and November Rain song were there to pander to the Sweet Child o Mine influenced fans, but there was some really kick ass, amazing songs on those 2 albums.
Go back and listen to the songs that did not get airplay: The Garden w/Alice Cooper, Bad Obsession, Bad Apples, Pretty Tied Up, LOCOMOTIVE (My favourite) etc. There are some really great songs there.
Take out the sophmoric My World, Get In The Ring, Shotgun Blues, and the weak Don't Cry songs, and the Knockin on Heavens Door cover and they could have made one hell of an awesome Single album instead of stretching it to 2.
