Top 5 Worst Albums By Good Bands - Rolling Stone

[Ali]

The Spaghetti Incident is a mistake and an epic failure comparable to My World.

Couldn't disagree more.  It showed the fans and the world the roots of GN'R.  That blistering version of "Hair of the Dog" along with "Down on the Farm" and "Raw Power" make the album worth getting.

I'd by the album again just for that cover of Hair Of The Dog. Matts drumming at the end is insane!

I like Black Leather, Raw Power, and Ain't It Fun. Geez-us-gawd, it is a covers album thrown together "for the fans"...nothing more. It wasn't the follow up to UYI.  However, it would have been much better if it was just an ep with Izzy on it like the original plan. The original ideas and songs were recorded during the UYI sessions but were later expanded after Izzy left-they erased his parts, added songs, blah blah blah.

I think its funny that the type of covers they used to play live and on their albums were nowhere near TSI. Considering VR plays Floyd and Aerosmith covers, and GNR played Paul McCartney and whoever wrote KOHD (I think it's Dylan but everyone in their brother plays it), the TSI was nowhere indicative of their roots, but that's my opinion, which will get thrown to the wayside


have a lovely day!

I think the band's roots are many and varied.  The roots of Axl and Izzy tend to be more Stones/Dylan oriented, and since Axl largely controlled the band, those types of songs ended up on the major albums.  But I think they all have some punk influence, too (esp. Duff).
