[MadmanDan]

TSI is nice,but let's face it: It's nothing compared to AFD,Illusions or even Lies

[spiderman]

There was only one 'original' song in the album and it was not listed...

What was that then?.... oh, i presume you mean "look at your game girl" written by charles manson ya see mate you learn something new everyday.

[spiderman]

[mega_music]

Human Being is great to crank up and rock to.

An Incident To Remember
Hit Parade - April '94
By Caroline Mellon


Four studio albums, 10 million records sold worldwide....and now its time for something completely different. Instead of going in and doing that ?kind? of the same of same old same old, Guns N' Roses did what they do so well; they bucked the system. Axl, Slash, Duff, Dizzy, Matt and Gilby (and whoever else may be in the group today) decided to escape from the mass chaos that swirls around the most controversial rock band in the world by just playing music they loved. For those of you yearning for the eternal angst of frustrated youth, what you have on your shelves now is The Spaghetti Incident?, a collection of classic punk and rock songs covered in Guns N' Roses inimitable style.

'Actually we were thinking of calling it the Cover Album,' Explained Duff. 'it's not a punk record; all of it, we did things like Nazareth's Hair Of The Dog, T-Rex The Dead Boys. We did a Fear song, I Don't Care About You. We're paying respect to certain elements of rock and roll that have been overlooked.'

'It was a very spontaneous record.' Added Axl. 'There was no band rehearsal, You just go in and do what you do, sing what you want to sing about.'

The Spaghetti Incident? is a unique collection of angry anthems. you've got an Iggy Pop classic like Raw Power, Steve Jones' Black Leather, and New Road by The Damned. Where did the abitrary aggregation of vital vinyl come from? The whole project came about courtesy of Duff.

'I have a really cool record collection,' GN'R's bassist admitted. 'I turned the guys on to The Stooges and the MC5, and stuff like that. Basically, i introduced the material to them and said, 'We should do this and this, and this, and this.' Axl got real excited and started researching stuff and said, 'We can do this and this and this and that!' Then everybody got into it and asked, 'Can we do this song or that song?' it was very democratic.
'It's a mad record, its fun. There are no airs about it,' admitted Slash.

'The bulk of The Spaghetti Incident? was recorded where the Gunners went in to record Use your illusion records, three years ago. As well, tunes have been recorded here and there, for example, the rendition of Johnny Thunders Can't Put your Arms Around A Memory was originally done for Duff's solo album Believe In Me...But Slash and Axl pleaded 'Lets put it on the punk record' so they went in and recorded it and here is The Spaghetti incident? in your faces..."

I love the cd cover on the insides. The outside looks so lame to me. Musically there is some good songs on there. If they picked well known rock songs, It could of been HUge, Afteral Metallica ripped there idea off for "Garage Inc"

I think the insides mint with hot Slash n DUFF pic, and if they chose a few better PUNK songs yeah it would of been better- but they were wanting to praise their idols, and carry on didnt they.
OMG! YCPYAAAM with DUFF!!!!!  
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh its soooooo sweet! oh how he sings and i love the scream at the end of IDCAY!  
Mmmmmmmmmm!!! Its real sweet n HOT!
I adore ATTITUDE!!!
Duff sings it well, his manliness on stage, whilst singing that song rocked, him with his lush blonde hair, and his top off with those cool Sid-style trousers, him covered in sweat!      
Yeah I love my beloved Duff, and I love to pause it on screen! My friend thinks I'm crazy!  
I actually velieve that song was wrote for me!  

Ok I'll stop yakking!

IMO tsi? could have sucked if they did famous rock songs, i quite like the fact that they chose some obscure choices, songs that wouldnt normaly be covered. i think its an underated album, better than illusion 1 but not as good as illusion 2 IMO. my only gripe on the album is axl dont sing on enough of the tracks (although duff has a cool voice in his own right). id like to see the new gnr play some of these songs live but i cant see it happening.

[Evolution]

. i think its an underated album, better than illusion 1

i realise it's your opinion but

underated? yes. better than uyi I? no

Yeah it was Duff's baby I think. There is one song that he sings on, plays drums on, and bass on and there isnt even another GnR member on it (except Dizzy on backing vocals) I like TSI but it never seemed like a group project to me.

[FragileVision]

It was a cool album - I enjoyed it for what it was, and I'm glad that I have it in my collection.

It can't hold a candle to AFD or UYI 2, but it's still a fun album in its own right.

[BaDoBsEsSiOn418]

It's the only GN'R album I don't own...mostly because of how bad people say it is and make jokes about it.  Is it really that bad?  I know it's all covers.  Any comments would be great.  Thanx

[PhillyRiot]

I think Hair of the Dog and Since I Don't Have You are great songs from TSI.  The rest of the songs are alright, but don't really do it for me.
