If you could have picked the track listing for The Spaghetti Incident.....

[Led Roses 06]

What songs, not necessarily punk either, would you have picked for GNR to cover on this cd.

In no particular order:
Eruption
You Really Got Me
Hair of the Dog (they got that one)
Whole Lotta Rosie (studio version would be nice)
Train Kept A Rollin (studio version would be nice)
Strairway to Heaven
Smoke on the Water
Hey Joe
Only Women Bleed (studio)
Over the Hills and Far Away
Stranglehold
We Will Rock You (loved it at the Freddy tribute)
We Are the Champions
Free Fallin' (love to hear just Axl on this one)

I know a lot of the songs I picked have been done live or parts have been done live, but i think this would have been killer.

[Tomorrows]

Well, since the whole point was old school punk covers Id say the trackset was pretty solid. Id only add some Dead Kennedys.

that would make for a kick ass cover cd

Thats 1 thing i've always wondered... Why is SIDHY on there, if its punk covers?? Sales??

Each band member picked some tracks which were then agreed upon by general consensus. Axl's music taste is kind of going in many directions, so it should be no surprise that SIDHY was Axl's choice. He also picked HOTD and the Manson thing. Slash chose I don't care about you, Duff chose the Johnny Thunders cover and Attitude, for example. Don't know if Gilby had much say though

[TrueRock&Roll]

Going back to "Whole Lotta Rosie", where the hell was that recorded.  I've heard it a few times, and the one I had said it was recoreded at Ritz 88.  I know that's not right though.

I would like all the current tracks on TSI along with these other songs GN'R have played over the years:

Heartbreak Hotel
Jumping Jack Flash
Wild Horses
Whole Lotta Rosie
Train Kept A Rollin
Sail Away Sweet Sister
Tie Your Mother Down
Only Women Bleed

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

I think Whole Lotta Rosie was on Live From The Jungle.

What songs, not necessarily punk either, would you have picked for GNR to cover on this cd.

They did a perfect job selecting the songs and covering them. It helped introduce me to bands that I wasn't previously familiar with at that age. They were also the kind of songs you don't hear on the radio everyday, which was part of its charm.

I wouldn't change anything about it, except for the hidden track. It would've been a nice surprise to hear, "Take A Letter, Maria".

a studio version of jumpin' jack flash would be awesome.

......................na, i would leave it the way it is

IT RULES!!

[Tomorrows]

I would kill to hear GnR covering the following songs though:

The Weight (The Band)
18 and Life (Skid Row)
Rocketman (Elton John)
Midnight Rider (Allman Brothers Band)
My Back Pages (Bob Dylan)
American Girl (Tom Petty)
The Cats in the Cradle (Harry Chapin)
Magic Bus (The Who)
Living Loving Maid (Led Zeppelin)
Superstition (Stevie Wonder)
Cemetary Gates (Pantera)

If they made an album out of that itd be one hell of an interesting mess.

[Slashead]

Some songs shouldn't have been on TSI : Buick Makane (Big Dumb Sex ), Hair Of The Dog (wtf?), Black Leather (there are way better Sex Pistols songs).
They should have done a David Bowie's cover, "Quicksand" for example.

Anyway, the Spaghetti Incident wasn't a great idea imo. And the production was terrible (too clean).

[Slashead]

There's an encrypted message at the bottom of the cover, something like "Excuse Slash..."
What does it mean ?

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

Where does it say that?

[Slashead]

Where does it say that?

At the bottom of the Spaghetti Incident cover : "S Q Z/EYJ"

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

   It took a bit of creativity on your part to figure that out, but I don't think that's what that means.





Does it?

I think the production is fantastic on TSI, guitars sound huge, drums sound huge, bass is there thumping away, vocals are in your face. Sounds great to me.

That encrypted message is definitely a private joke... About the spaghetti incident... "Excuse Slash, he..."

See, everything is based on the person. Exactly these songs, together with You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory are favorite ones in the album. It would be awsome to hear Tie Your Mother Down, We Will Rock You, Dead Flowers and Enter Sandman for example. Just songs that they played somewhere...
