"The Spaghetti Incident?" appreciation thread

[DemocracyRose]

Favorite tracks: Since i dont.... Raw Power, Aint it Fun, Down on the Farm, and Black Leather.

But i think some of the numbers are not produced very well... Maybe its the meaning of the record. I dont know.

But overall, its a great record.

I love TSI. Raw Power, New Rose, Attitude, Ain't It Fun, Black Leather, Hair Of The Dog are all kickass cover versions and even the so-so songs are really cool too.
It's just a fun rock album from start to finish, and it definitely gets me in a good mood whenever I listen to it.

I think someone said something about TSI being the heaviest sounding GN'R album too, with the drums and guitars more in-yer-face than any other GN'R release. I'd have to agree with that!

Who cares if there's a new topic?

Isn't easier to create a new topic than searching back through pages and pages to find similar topics to reply to???

Well I merged most of those threads into this big "TSI?" thread.


I remember buying it on the day it was released back in 1993. First GN'R album that I got on cd on its release date. I got UYI on LPs....

I remember reading all kinds of rumors about this album before it was released. A Hanoi Rocks track was rumored to be on it at one point.

Anyway, it's kinda funny how people say the album sucks. It's just a cover album, nothing to be taken too seriously. It's like GN'R's version of the stuff Izzy, Snakepit etc have done. Just a fun record, not supposed to be a follow up to the UYI albums.

Given the wealth of current GN'R news available, i'd say....absolutely!

I also brought it on the day of release but on cassette tape in my lunch break i had my walkman and listened to it all day at school during lessons a lot of my mates were Gnr Fans so they would take it in turns to sit next to me with the old headphone wire up my jumper sleeve trick. i also purchased the single Ain't it fun about 2 - 3 weeks before the album was released still got it (bit scratched now) I also liked 'look at you game girl' and was a bit surprised when i read a slash interview where he said there was a 7-8 second delay at the end of i don't care about you and people who were stupid enough to listen to the silence deserved to here that song

I have TSI since 95,but I hated it until a month ago.Then I had to do a long drive,and I decided to give it another chance.Since then I listen to it almost every day.

[LionGoddess]

To me the album is like alot of cover albums, some songs are good, others are not. Try as I might I just can't get into this cd. It is one of those cds that I only listen too just because I haven't heard it in awhile. I don't dislike it really, its just for the most part it does something for me. I think its sad it was G&R's last effort as a band, even though it wasn't meant to be. Kinda like Pantera's Reinventing The Steel record, they weren't going out at top. I do like the fact that some of the songs they covered weren't really well known. People might have given the originals a look that they might not have if G&R hadn't covered them.

[Dr. Blutarsky]

It is almost like Lies, not at the same level as AFD or UYI. But ... it shows another side to the band and is a fun record. Not the best CD for the old band to call their last, but its not like the band saw that coming.  It has some standout songs. I hated the video for Since I dont have you. They could`ve done a better job than having that annoying clown in there.

[Wheres Izzy]

Sometimes I think the title is actually "the much maligned speghetti incident" because of always reading "their last release was the..." in alot of gnr articles. I think that's nuts. I fucking love TSI. And I think every track on it is worth listening to. I picked it up in 95' and it led me to discover alot of my favorite bands. I started listening to the misifts and the sex pistols after hearing those tracks got me interested in them.

I've never been a fan of The Spaghetti Incident, I always felt that it failed to deliver in comparison to Appetite, Illusions etc. Well I finally went back and gave it a fresh listen and have to say the album has really grown on me now  I hadn't heard it in about 3 years and although "Since I Dont Have You" still sucks I loved every other song on that album.

I know I wasnt the only person to hate TSI, it seems to be the least popular album to a large percentage of GNR fans. I want to know why most people dislike the album? Instead of expecting it to be crap; listen to it with an open mind and appreciate some awesome punk songs covered by Hollywoods hardest rock band 

Now that Im older I have heard the original versions of nearly all the songs on here, all of them are damn good covers... especially Human Being. Its better than the Dolls version in my honest opinion

Now that's a good answer! I totally agree to that..

[RichardNixon]

I think it's a good album. If you are really into punk, I could see why you wouldn't like it, 'cause it's rather glossy. But a fine album. I like 90 percent of it.
