Which compilation album did Guns N' Roses release in 2004?

Guns N’ Roses released the compilation album Greatest Hits in 2004.

Greatest Hits was issued by Geffen Records on March 23, 2004. It collected major songs from the band’s classic period, including tracks associated with Appetite for Destruction, the Use Your Illusion albums, and the covers album The Spaghetti Incident?. It was a retrospective rather than a new studio record.

The compilation appeared partly because Chinese Democracy had been delayed for years. Axl Rose attempted to block its release in court, arguing that it could distract attention from the unfinished album. Former members Slash and Duff McKagan also supported the legal challenge, but the lawsuit failed and Geffen released the record.

Greatest Hits became a substantial commercial success despite receiving little promotional support from the band. It reached No. 1 in the United Kingdom and No. 3 on the Billboard 200 in the United States. It is easy to confuse it with Live Era ’87–’93, which is a live album, or Use Your Illusion, which is a compilation-style single-disc edit of the two 1991 studio albums rather than the 2004 hits collection.
