Use Your Illusion (not to be confused with Use Your Illusion I and II) is a compilation album released by Guns N' Roses on August 25, 1998 in the United States. It consists entirely of songs without explicit lyrics (save for one instance of "bullshit" in "14 Years") and was sold primarily in Wal-Mart and Kmart, two retail outlets which refused to stock the original two Illusion albums because of their explicit lyrics.

Also of note, the version of "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" included on this album is missing Josh Richman's speech, cutting out 16 seconds.

Info

• This is a sort-of "best of" for Use Your Illusion. It was only released in Walmart and Best Buy stores. It was mainly created because the stores refused to stock Use Your Illusion I & II due to the profane nature of most of the songs.
