it sucks that it was their last album w/ slash, duff etc but if they didnt release it, then GnR would only have 4 (technically 3 if you see UYI's as one album release) records which isnt alot for a band of that caliber

I don't know what's exactly going on with that record.
I remember my cousin saying he bought it when it came out while he thought it would be like Illussions and it was miserable.
Perhaps, I wouldn't say it was a good album if I wasn't a gn'r fan. So TSI goes more to the gn'r fans more than the occasional listeners.
While it seems to be a little mediocre, I enjoy listening almost every track. I like "You can't put your arms around a memory" more than "Since I don't have you". I like duff singing every song. "Ain't it fun" has an extreme tune (in the beggining at least). "Down on the farm" is one of the most rocker songs I ever heard. Every song has its beauty and its defect.
Other problem with this album is the opening stuff with the drums in every song, the one-two-three stuff at every intro of a song; it's a little annoying (except in "Human Being" with Axl screaming
). Another problem are the songs order. They should do a better order to the songs. e.g. Down on the Farm is a cool song but noone was used to hear Axl singing that way.
All in all, I think TSI is a bunch of some moderato but still cool songs.

I haven't listened to TSI in 10 years, but today I'm dusting it off and gonna give it a spin. I hated this damn album when it was released, well hated is a bit strong but I only liked "Hair of the Dog" and "Down on the Farm" (When everything smells like horse shit!! Down here on the Farm"
funny as hell). I'm gonna try to be objective and I'll post my opinions.

I didn't like TSI. I can stomach a handful of the songs, but most of it just grates. I haven't listened to it in years - in fact, I have no idea whether I still have the cd. It is, for me, a completely disposable chapter in GNR's history.

Well....
I finished listening to it.....
Ya know what?
I just doesn't work for me. I don't know.
"Down on the Farm" is still pretty wicked. (the fake accent and the Horse Shit part are awesome!!!
)
"Hair of the Dog" is ok (the orig is better)
"Since I don't Have You" is alright I guess. (It's as fucking weird now as when it came out)
I really enjoyed "Ain't it Fun"
The rest, blah. Never been a fan of Duff's vocals. "Look At Your Game girl" is boring even with the controversy. (I fuckin' hate hidden tracks too, btw, I remember feeling, in '93, as though they copied the idea from Nirvana's Nevermind)
And on top of everything, I've never been a fan of Punk Music, so I'm not surprised by my opinion of TSI. A band with so much talent could've done so much better. I know... I know... it was recorded in spurts during the UYI tour and was supposed to hold us over til the new album but...
how the fuck is that peice of crap supposed to hold me over for a week, let alone 12 fuckin' years!!!!
In short, I thought TSI was crap in 1993, and I still think it's crap in 2005.

I think it would have been better if they never released it.

It was an awesome idea...but bad execution.
Imagine a whole album similar to GNR Lies A side.
Just 12 punk songs recorded really raw in front of a crowd. Do a mini tour, 10 dates, in a club atmosphere, pick the best recordings....release it with very few touchups.

I don't see it as an awesome idea. but it's OK.
Possibly an album of all covers is a sign that the band has exhausted the creative power.
Sorta like the stage of ennui in band life?

It took having no new GnR to take a serious listen to this album. I also find that there is so little new music that is any good I tend to go back through albums I never really listened to and give them more of a try. This is one example of that.
I learned to like this album for what it was. Still my least favorite GnR album, but I don't think it sucks like some people do. I like "Black Leather" the best.

i think it would have done and still would do lot better, if gnr would`ve just released it as "the punk ep" and put the seven best songs on it. it`s a real problem i think that it`s considerd a real album, because otherwise it would be seen as what it really is: a fun project.
but in reallity TSI is compared to the other gnr albums (by the public, not by the fanbase) and you know, in comparison it just sucks.
@ joeyramone i think it wouldn`t be bad if gnr would only have 2 albums (lies is imo no real album), because what they accomplished with those 2 albums is what other bands did with 15 albums.

I take this album entirely for what it was meant to be..a cover cd. I personally love the majority of tracks on it, or especially Hair of the Dog, New Rose, Down on the Farm, Black Leather, and Aint it Fun. I think that had an album of new material been released as it was originally intended to be right after TSI, the album definately wouldnt get the negativity it does. A sub-par cover album as the last effort by one of the greatest RnR bands of all time isnt really a treasured album for me at least..

I think its a quality listen. People have to keep in mind it is a cover album. I know we'd rather the last release from the band not be a cover album, but at the time Axl probably didn't figure it would be the last full length album GN'R would release. They did have plans for a new album, things obviously didn't work out. It was just something to tide fans over until the next full length original release...just like GN'R Lies was. The covers themselves are good. In fact I've heard most of the originals, and I like pretty much all of the GN'R versions better.

I havent been able to listen to all the TSI songs, but I have listened to DOWN ON THE FARM (LIVE) and damn... it really kicks ass.... its an excellent version when original members were still together... even with Steven adler...
I wonder if you know what other TSI song, GNR has played LIVE?
thanks dudes

Although I'm glad TSI was released, there really isn't a good reason for it to have come out. Zero promotion. Picture of Axl's shoes. Duff doing vocals on half the album. The band just didnt care. And its no surprise that most of the fans didnt care either.

This is the 4th time someone mentioned this, but i dont think its fair for the original bands who actually wrote and played the songs, to say the GNR versions were better. If thats all that matters to get credibility, Motley Crue would cover all of Metallica's songs and U2 cover all of Pink Floyds songs and claim their versions are better. Its kind of ridiculous to claim TSI because of that reason.

I hear ya with that. I'm not trying to say that they should get credit for the songs or whatever. I'm just saying I prefer to listen to the GN'R versions of the songs. But the bands that wrote the songs should be credited, they're their songs.
