Guns N' Roses - "The Spaghetti Incident?" (1993)

Interesting enough, GNR decided to a cover release as they were on there way out. I suppose once you play stadium shows every night and day you turn into a piece of shit like Axl Rose. The title of the album came up with Steven Adler filed a lawsuit against Axl, and this spaghetti food fight between them. Bands they cover range from the Misfits, Soundgarden, Nazareth, The Stooges and more. I've heard someone say they already had a lot of these songs done while in the Use Your Illusion recording sessions such as "Knockin on Heaven's Door" and "Live and Let Die" which brings up the conclusion that they pretty much threw this out to make a quick buck which they did as the album debuted at #4 on the billboards. The Charles Manson cover song "Look at Your Game, Girl" posed a bit of controversy being that Charles Manson is notoriously the sickest man alive. Not as in sick cool but sick as in twisted. Rose said the track would not be featured on the reissues of The Spaghetti Incident but, of course Axl Rose lied. That's just his way I guess. Songs to check out "Hair of the Dog", "New Rose" and "Ain't it Fun".
