well i didnt like it as a, when i thought, a new album. But once i learnt it was just a covers album they released while they were starting to do new stuff i didnt mind then. But obviously the band fell apart after that so there never was a new album with the proper 2 in the band.

I think TSI? is boring and unimaginative, rather than have some covers by well known bands like Led Zep or Deep Purpleor even Aerosmith they went an did a crappy covers album by bands most people have not heard of, oh yeah, what a great sendoff to your fans, a craptastic album that people can buy for ?4......... or $5
I've listened to it fully about 3 times, I promised myself never again

Uh, I think that was the point. Opening up a new generation to a bunch of obscure bands that maybe deserved a little more recognition. Covering songs everybody knows could be fun, but pretty useless.

I didnt like it at first but I think its cool, Its js tragic that it was THAT album that marked the end of the Original band. I mean yeah they did the Sympathy For the Devil cover, but that was js one song.
I think it would be great if Axl put out a a box set, like Nirvana did. I mean why not, some b-sides, some demos and some unreleased shit from the Original band.

Spaghetti's good but its tragic that this album is the last album GNR did. I sometimes wonder what the band would have done differently had they known it was gonna be their last album. Had most of this album not been recorded during the Illusions sessions, It would have never came out. GNR didn't even care about the album when it was released. One crappy video, zero promotion. We were lucky it was even released.

I think TSI is fucking brilliant! It got me turned on to punk music and i can't say i regret that, it also filled alot of gaps in the gn'r world, there's defenetly no nazi who composed that shit!
I'd rather have tsi than live era, both snake pits, nevrotic, zen whatever, maybe not juju, but you get the drift! Its simply the third best album from hollywood, with ju ju on a strong fourth... imo

I have read some posts recently and saw too many people don't like TSI, but I think the album was made to play tribute to old punk bands and that makes the album a collectors issue that requires you like the punk rock old sound... Like the band says in the booklet, you must hear the originals...
I understand that punk is a style that only a few people like, but you can't judge TSI as a bad album like some people do, because if you listen to the originals (and I have done it) the GNR versions are amazing... I like the old punk rock and I love some of the original versions and the music of some of that bands and I really love The Spaguetti Incident !!
Someone agree ?
Pd: in the same way... I love the "Neurotic Outsiders" album with Duff and Matt.
I love TSI. it is truly a great album. If you listen to the originals and then what GNR did, GNR's version is superior, hands down. Black leather, Human being, Ain't it fun, Down on the farm, etc. It just does not get any better.

People seem to take this album way too seriously.
I don't think it ever was meant to be taken as a follow-up album to the UYI albums. It was just something they did on days off to let fans hear songs the band themselves liked.
/jarmo
True, but I think people tend to take it too seriously because it was a LP. If they would have released a punk EP (6-8 tracks) and the rest as b-sides (or even as a separate EP), I tend to believe people would judge it differently.

the rest was glam, garage, metal and even doo wop.
would u like to type some examples? just curious....?
Sure,
Skyliners were a doo wop band
New York Dolls were a glam rock band
The stooges were a garage rock band
T-rex was a glam rock/boogie band
Nazareth was a heavy metal/hard rock band
Johnny Thunders was a garage rocker
Charles Manson was a folk rocker and a psycho ?
?
... and even though the dead boys were a punk band, 'ain't it fun' isn't a punk song (a punk ballad perhaps
)
Therefore we got 5 punk covers on TSI?
Don't misunderstand me, I don't see anything wrong with having the Stooges or NY dolls on a punk CD, as they were obviously vital in the development of punk rock (and can be labelled as pre-punk or proto-punk) - it's just that when you expect something and get another, it sets you up for a disappointment.

Hate TSI
I find it to be sometimes lame, and other times gay. Sometimes its even lame and gay at the same time.
Its as offensive to me as Godfather 3. Its an embarrassment (much like the Tokyo DVDs that were released). Just fucking sad.
...and did I mention how lame and gay it is.

I sent it packing to the used cd bin years ago. However, I still really enjoy listening to Black Leather-just rockin'-great Axl vocal as well. The Down on the Farm at Farm Aid-with a real rhythm guitar player in Izzy and a very gritty straight forward Axl vocal-just absolutely 100% blows away the ham hock version on TSI.

I only listened to
Look At Your Game Girl
by Manson, which i like. It has a mello 60's vibe and Axl's vocals are cool.
Never Learn Not To Love
by the Beach Boys is another song written by Charles Manson if anyone wants to check it out. They changed the opening verse from
Cease to exist
to
Cease to resist
, which angered Manson and he put a gun to Dennis Wilsons head.

I've always enjoyed TSI.? Granted I would of perfered another album of the originals, But TSI caught a some of the raw emotion that I felt was missing from the Illusion albums.? Songs like "I don't Care About You" and "Ain't It Fun" were badass.? Not only that, I felt GNR are the only band that could cover the Misfits properly.
