Debuting at #1 in both the U.S. and the U.K, and keeping its companion album Use Your Illusion I off of the top spot in the process, Use Your Illusion II is regarded by many to have the slight edge of the two simultaneous releases as a result of its more serious tone and broader scope. Fans received a precursor to the album when lead single "You Could Be Mine" was showcased on the soundtrack to the movie Terminator 2: Judgement Day. Also amongst its 14-tracks are a cover of Bob Dylan’s "Knocking On Heaven’s Door," “Get In the Ring," a tirade against the band's ever-growing number of enemies and critics and an alternative version of "Don’t Cry." Kerrang! Magazine accurately described the album as, “balladic, bluesy, experimental and peppered with genius.”
