Towelie Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) I always see this getting ratted on, but I've always considered it somewhat of a jewel in their back catalogue, in the fact that it's so different from their usual style and yet they really knock it out of the park on all fronts. From Slash's opening guitar licks which just sing (back in the days when his lead work was instantly recognisable) to Axl's impassioned vocal delivery.I fucking love this cover and all you naysayers can suck it if you think otherwise.

Rovim Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) Nah, it's cool. Great vocals from Axl and I like Slash's tone on it. The original is much better, but I've always liked this cover. I also enjoy Black leather, Ain't It Fun, and a bunch of others.It's like a guilty pleasure without the guilt. Look At Your Game Girl is one of the better covers on the album imo. Very far removed from Punk, but it's something more to listen to when you miss the Guns sound. Edited January 3, 2016 by Rovim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Cnut Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) I think it's a belter, Axl sings the nuts off of that song and Slashs guitar playing is delicious throughout, it really does sound fantastic, maybe the best cover they ever did, they generally tend to make a bollocks of songs they cover but this was spot on.

Towelie Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 am i the only one that loves the cover of Black Sabbath's it's Alright?i listen to it every dayYeah, I wish they'd done a studio version of it. But I guess there are already too many covers in their back catalogue as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlashElvisTCB Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) I love the whole Spaghetti Incident CD, initially when it first came out "Since I Don't Have You" was probably the only track I cared for on the record, as I got older I realized how much the others kicked ass especially when comparing them to the originals!. Personally I think every cover they did turned out great, I can barely listen to Paul McCartneys version of Live & Let Die knowing how bad ass GNR did on it.I'd say GNR did the definitive versions of most of their covers, its not just being a fan boy its a genuine view point. I know I'm deviating from TSI but it still kind of counts.Knockin' On Heavens Door (Hands down nobody comes close!)Live & Let DieDown On The FarmHuman BeingRaw PowerMama Kin is great, Aerosmith also did great on this.Since I Don't Have You, certainly more enjoyable for me to listen to, but I still appreciate the original.I know probably Slash himself and a ton of other people would probably call me a an idiot for this (It is the song that broke GNR up after all), but Ithink GNR did better than the Stones on Sympathy For The Devil. Lets face it, Axl was more fluid & flowing with his delivery and Slash is hands down in a different league on another planet in guitar skills, tone and technique. The Stones still did ok, but every time that song comes on I wish it were the GNR version. Edited January 3, 2016 by SlashElvisTCB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Macaroni Incident? Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I'm not sure which music video I hate more: "Since I Don't Have You" or "The Garden." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Bird Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 One of the poorest decisions of the band and probably amongst the 3 baddest songs to cover for TSI. IMO. I just don't like the song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estranged Reality Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 axl's vocal mannerisms border on self-parody for some of that album and especially that song (it sounds like what someone imitating axl rose would do with all the aye-ee-yayyy's and yowsa type vocal noises and whatnot) but i DO like it. if not for any other reason than spaghetti incident was the first GN'R album i ever bought. embarrassing but true.

SoundOfAGun Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 The last verse of Since I Don't Have You is some killer Axl vocals, ripping through the octaves. Slash's tone is nice in the solo sections as well. I have also come to appreciate that album as time has gone on. When I first got it in 93 or 94, I was disappointed, but now this track, Down On The Farm, Hair Of The Dog and Raw Power are on my main playlist.The production is also slick as fuck, it has a more modern sound than UYI's and Slash's guitar tone is great. That said, the album is also home to some absolute shit as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChineseIRS Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Always have! I think TSI gets bagged on way too much. Its a great covers album and was meant to be nothing more. It just played out that it was original Guns last release, which sucks but wasnt really the plan at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
