Guns N' Roses – The Spaghetti Incident? Released in 1993, The Spaghetti Incident? is a covers album by American rock band Guns N' Roses. The album features a collection of punk rock, glam, and hard rock covers from the 1970s and 1980s, along with a few tracks from their earlier years. The title of the album is a playful reference to an infamous incident involving Axl Rose, the band’s lead vocalist, and a few band members, though the specifics of the "spaghetti incident" itself have remained ambiguous.
Unlike their previous albums, which were driven by the band's original material, The Spaghetti Incident? is notable for its raw, stripped-down approach to rock music, with a focus on the group's love for punk and garage rock. The album opens with a cover of the UK punk band The Stooges' "Raw Power," setting the tone for the album's aggressive and rebellious attitude. Other highlights include covers of The Misfits' "Attitude," New York Dolls' "Human Being," and a rendition of The Damned's "New Rose."
While The Spaghetti Incident? is not considered as influential or commercially successful as the band’s earlier albums, such as Appetite for Destruction or Use Your Illusion, it holds a special place in the hearts of fans due to its punk-infused sound and the band’s willingness to explore different musical influences. The album's rough and unpolished feel contrasts with the polished production of their earlier work, which makes it stand out as a more unvarnished, raw expression of the band's influences and spirit.
