The Spaghetti Incident?
Guns N’ Roses
Review:
“As punk albums go, The Spaghetti Incident? lacks righteous anger and rage. As Guns N’ Roses albums go, it’s a complete delight, returning to the ferocious, hard-rocking days of Appetite for Destruction. The Gunners play Stooges and New York Dolls songs exactly as they do Nazareth – as straight-ahead, driving riff-rockers. After the epic Use Your Illusions, the band sounds like it’s having fun, not caring about making ‘art’ like ‘November Rain’ or ‘Estranged.’ Unfortunately, the tacked-on Charles Manson song leaves a bad aftertaste, but not because of the song itself; the inclusion of the song seems like a publicity-seeking stunt, a way to increase their sales while trying to regain their street credibility. And as The Spaghetti Incident? proves, they didn’t need to stoop so low” (Erlewine).
Interestingly, cover albums are often seen as a band’s appeasement to fans waiting for new material. Little did anyone know how long that layover would be; while Axl Rose obsessed over the next album, the rest of the band fled – as did most of the band’s fans as the lackadaisical response to Guns N’ Roses’ Chinese Democracy in 2008.
