EvH Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 (edited) The song is quite good, and the band plays great. Fantastic guitar tone from Slash, and strong vocals from Axl even if he's kinda oversinging. It's inclusion as the opening track from TSI hailed as punk cover album was obviously Axl taking the piss but it was a stupid choice from a tracklisting standpoint. Use it as a contrasting closing track (and forget that Manson bullshit) and open with Raw Power or Black Leather. But I sure don't wanna hear it live. It probably would be boring as a full song.

Swedish Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I tend to like this song but however I believe that this being the first track, only video and second single of TSI made many fans not give the album a chance and/or completely discard the album since it really doesn't sound anything like a GN'R song.

I have to agree..as good as Axl's vocals are, it's hard to take this song (and perhaps by extension, the whole album) seriously..GnR doing a 1950's doo wop song? Ya, nope.

money honey Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 To me, Since I don't have you is a continuation of the humourous streak that the band showed in I used to love her - I adore that song, simultaneously laugh out loud funny and totally offensive. Humour is also evident in Axl's raised eyebrow expression at the end of the Estranged video, when he's beside the dolphin. Almost like a tacit acknowledgement that the video, especially the dolphin bits, are fairly preposterous. The Since I don't have you video is just hilarious and shows yet another side of a multi-dimensional band. What does anyone else think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron MikeyJ Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 (edited) For me, SIDHY is another chapter in the whole "trilogy" that feels more like a saga at this point. Don't Cry, NR, Estranged, SIDHY, and even throw TIL in as the closer. TIL might be a bit of a stretch, at least the video for it anyways, but the song DOES fit imo. But the other 4 always flowed together well, especially the videos imo. SIDHY feels like the "oh well, fuck it, time to move on" moment of the "saga". Maybe thats why Axl wanted to do it in the first place? Because it expressed how he felt better than anything he felt he could write. As for the song itself, like others have said, I do love the song. I always have, since the first time I heard it. I have some friends that don't really like gnr all that much (they don't dislike them, just casuals) who really like that song as well. I think it gets to much Shit from Us hardcores, it really is a fantastic cover. Having said all of that, I have NO desire to see it added to the set list, Even to replace The Seeker. I would rather see Patience and Don't Cry become perminate staples before SIDHY. Edited September 29, 2016 by Iron MikeyJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be just a fan video, but I think one MIGHT exist. I seem to remember one about a guy and girl on a train.

Wouldn't mind hearing it live but definitely not a priority compared to all the other deepcuts I want I agree with everything you said. It would make sense to swap it or AIF with the seeker but I'd rather hear breakdown, dead horse, the garden, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archtop Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Haven't seen this in years, had a horrible moment when I thought Matt was paddling in naked from the waist down at 2:37. Gary Oldman is amazing, there is a piece in Slash's book or an interview were he says he couldn't stop laughing in the boat scene. Not a fan of the song, video is so cheesy it almost redeems itself! Lol, at Dizzy with the fishing net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellobeatle Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 They played the recording through the loud speakers prior to the St Patrick's Day show in Boston 1993. Not sure if any differences in final mix as they just recorded it in the days immediately prior to the show and it wasn't released until 7 months later. Not the best quality but it's on YouTube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Money Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 This happens to be Mrs. Money's favorite GN'R song. I don't mind it but wish it didn't have the Casio SK-5 sampling keyboard chorus sounds at the lead-in to the first verse or the synth effects at the end. Otherwise, I think it adds a nice variation to the album. If you're listening to TSI in order though, I think it would sound better somewhere in the middle of the album.

AlexC Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) I think it's very Axl. He obviously digs the lyrics and subject matter. I really like The Spaghetti Incident, it's got a really laid back and mischievous, fun vibe to it which I find really cool. It's a shame they disintegrated a couple of years after its release...

J Dog Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Good song and nicely done cover. Axl kills it and the guitars have a good sound. I've always thought Sidhy, Aint it Fun, and Black Leather were all top quality GNR songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
