"The Spaghetti Incident?" appreciation thread

It's a similar quality to Contraband, some really good but others shite!

I don't think that's a far comparison. But lets not turn another thread into GnR Vs VR

[MadmanDan]

Duff shouldn't be let within five feet of a microphone. Seriously.

Hell yeah!! I admit I haven't heard any of his solo work,but if you're in a band with Axl Rose the only smart thing to do is pick up the bass guitar and do what you're paid to do.

[GNR-Chris]

I don't think its that bad really, I quite enjoy listening to it every now and then.
Its good, but its not great - I think it is on about the same level as Lies IMO.

The Spaghetti Incident...how bad is it really? - not at all...I think that Spaghetti is as good as AFD...

[ClintroN]

Thats a fucked thing to say MadmanDan, maybe you should listen to Beleive in Me, na maybe you shouldnt, he's only just a bass player according to you

[gkza]

I agree. thats the best thing ive ever heard anyone say.  It is on par with AFD as far as im concerned.

 If you don't like/appreciate TSI, you don't understand what GNR is all about.  Raw and very diverse taste and influence in music (dude they cover Soundgarden(!) and T Rex in the same song).  Aint if Fun is fucking outdtanding

I have  Believe in Me. Its not on par with AFD but it sure as hell is alot better then 90% of the shit out there. Just because you are in a band with Axl doesnt mean you can't sing. Axl is great, but it adds diversity to the band and its music. I don't think Duff was "just a bass player" someone who is just a bass player, plays simple beats and copies what the guitarist is playing. Duff was original and added something on Bass. Bass is very important. Is John Deacon just a bass player? Is John Estilewood just a bass player? These guys like Duff helped write songs, some very great songs and deserve some credit.

Afteral is Slash just another guitar player?

i agree.  duff is a fine bass player with a unique sound, very uncommon among bass players.  he had the attitude, the look, and was a contributor.   He brought the punk feel to GNR,   I like "arms around a memory", nice change of pace, and couldnt imagine axl singing that one

I Just wanted to say that i just listened to TSI again...front to back and I hadn't heard it in a while.  It was amazing!  I loved every minute of it and thought it was a really great album.  I had always been so-so with this cd but i think i figured out why i liked it so much.  Its just a rock album!  No ballads, no filler just kick-ass rock.  In fact, Besides Appetite this is my favortite Guns' album of just straight up rock.  I fuckin love it!

[gnrvrrule]

Although I don't listen to it much anymore, the more I think of it, there are few songs I dislike on the album.  I think track 11 and 12 are weak, but other than that, it's pretty solid.  Since I Don't Have You is unlike the others, but still okay, and rockers like Down on the Farm (after seeing this live from Farm Aid, I like this song even more), Hair of the Dog (I hear original by Nazareth on radio all the time), Raw Power, and New Rose are all very good.  Ain't It Fun is a nice song, and Attitude is the best 1:27 song there is.  Black Leather and Human Being are good songs as well.  It's a good album, and keep in mind that even though it's a cover album, a lot of the parts are invented, like the guitar solo on Since I Don't Have You.

[Axl4Prez2004]

Isn't Since I Don't Have You a ballad?  Overall, a good album, nowhere near as good as any other GNR release, but still good.

Lol I think of it as a love ballad. Whenever it opens, seriously, it's just like 

[grog mug]

I've never listened to it all the way through, maybe I should try it sometime.  I always seem to have Appetite for Destruction or the UYI's in my cd player.

[Lady Livin]

yes, I think it is way underrated. guns were a hard rock punk band from the get-go, so they were destined to make TSI?. I enjoy it. my favorite track is probably "hair of the dog". I also have taken a liking to that manson hidden track.. for some reason I find it absolutely gorgeous with the way axl's voice sounds, and just.. yeah.

[V]

I always listen to the last 'hidden' song.

It kind of stands apart

[Gunner80]

Yeah... TSI rocks pretty damn hard!

[Mattman]

Eh, the album is alright.  There's a lot of standout tracks, like "Ain't It Fun", "Raw Power", "Hair of the Dog" and all that.  "Since I Don't Have You"...well, I started a thread about how I didn't like the VIDEO, but I've always had a soft spot for the song.  It's just a nice, goofy little love ballad that's fun to sing along to.  I don't think they should have released it as a single, though.

TSI is Guns' worst album, but it's still pretty good.  I think it's a testament to just how great their original stuff was.

hail "THE SPEGETTI INCIDENT?"

it just rocks!!!! i love it

[mega_music]

I love TSI, Human Being is a great track to crank up and jam to.
