Episode 16: Guns n' Roses - "The Spaghetti Incident?" (1993)


Listen Later

Guns n’ Roses - One of the biggest, loudest, wildest, and most commercially successful Rock and Roll acts ever to grace a stage. Though wildly successful and groundbreaking, in their few years before the initial breakup, they really only released 3.5 albums of original material (3 full LPs, 1 EP) and even 2 of those albums could be considered a double album. Unlike most bands, Guns n’ Roses initially ended their career with an interesting note: a covers album. This covers album, specifically, included a myriad of classic Punk Rock (and a few other) tunes the GNR boys loved and were influenced by. This album was 1993’s “The Spaghetti Incident?”. This album saw one of the biggest bands in the known universe bringing light to less commercially successful but monumentally influential Punk bands like The Damned, The Misfits, and Fear. Even though it wasn’t original tunes penned by the band, this album, despite rarely being spoken of, served as a fantastic “period-the-end” to their run. “The Spaghetti Incident?” saw the band saying, “This is what we started with so this is how we’re going to end: full of piss, vinegar, and unbridled aggression.”

Tune in with CJ & Motley as they dive into the hidden gem that is “The Spaghetti Incident?”.
