'The Spaghetti Incident?'
"The Spaghetti Incident?" is the fifth studio album by the American hard rock band Guns N' Roses. The album is composed of covers of older punk rock, hard rock, and other songs. "The Spaghetti Incident?" is the only studio album to feature rhythm guitarist Gilby Clarke, who replaced original Guns N' Roses member Izzy Stradlin during the band's Use Your Illusion tour in 1991, as well as the last album to feature guitarist Slash, bassist Duff McKagan (until their return in 2016) and drummer Matt Sorum. It is also the only Guns N' Roses album not to be promoted with a tour.
Critic Reviews
Show All-
All Music
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
-
Sputnik
There is definitely great music here that GNR show so much talent and their constructive side is deeply shown here
-
Mike Ladano
You’ll play it a few times and then file it away, never to be heard again.
-
Metal Music Archives
An interesting curiosity but not much more. A prime example of Collectors/fans only material.
-
Ear of Newt
Fans of the rough ’n’ tumble stuff will freak over the band’s honest-sounding tributes.
-
Slacker
Lacks righteous anger and rage.
-
Louder Sound
As it is, this is still an album for connoisseurs, but one that’s perfectly enjoyable if you take it for what it is.
-
NME
Could have been a cheesy disaster, but it actually turned out pretty well.
-
Off the Tracks
An amazing album; an important album even. It’s peculiar – it sits out on its own.
-
Sean Munger
The album is a thrown-together collection of very limp cover tunes which sound like little more than jam sessions.
-
Rocks Back Page
Like hearing Use Your Illusion I and II refracted through cover versions.
-
Loudwire
Had the band known it would be the swan-song of the majority of their powerhouse lineup, it’s debatable that they would even have issued it as a stand-alone release.
-
The Metal Portal
For me it is excellent, an indispensable one.
-
Stuff NZ
I always heard it as an intriguing, often brilliant, album.A smart collection of covers.
-
Osweg Oneil
Most of the tunes are left-overs from the Illusion recordings, with a few songs recorded specifically for this release.
-
American Noise
Still, I love The Spaghetti Incident? It takes me back to a simpler time—
-
Debaser
Around their last work there has always been a lot of detachment, surely it was not the best way to say goodbye.,
-
Sweet Child o Mine
An album so bad, its become a classic.
-
What Culture
They shine on The Spaghetti Incident as a tough glam band capable of effortlessly crossing the dividing line between classic rock and "alternative" music.
-
The Blues that Jazz
It's a complete delight, returning to the ferocious, hard-rocking days of Appetite for Destruction.
-
Funk N Stuff
A tribute to the band’s punk rock roots. Thanks to grunge rock’s new popularity, the LP doesn’t sound dated.
