| Spaghetti Incident. Hands down.
It's actually a decent cover album. It's not great, nor is it one of my favorite GNR platters. But it's a heck of a lot better than Chinese Fillerocracy. |

| I love how GNR took a song from the 50s and put a nice Rock spin on it (Since I dont Have You) I agree with MB it is a good cover album |

Ironically, that's my favorite song on "Spag Incident". 'Since I Don't Have You' never sounded better!!

Yeah, ok. So obviously you have no clue how difficult it is to take a song and reshape it and try to make it your own. That's like saying a painting of a bowl of fruit isn't art because you have the original bowl of fruit to look at or because there are already paintings of bowls of fruit. |
The poll as I understand was what was better, and in my opinion the band was lazy, didn't have to write lyrics, make the guitars louder, throw in a couple of cuss words and the album is done. Not a very creative project IMO, yea the songs sound good, and I like them better than the originals, but I just think a lot more work went into CD in a time where most people are gonna down it no matter what it sounds like and what name's on it. If the albums came out in opposite times, I believe this thread's voting would be reverse.
as a final thought, listening to TSI, it just sounds like it was something quick to shut up the fans at a time when axl and the rest of the band couldn't stand each other. |
