Music Reviews of Spaghetti IncidentMusic Review: About "Chinese Democracy" Rating: 5 Stars
Slash is my guitar hero of all time. Unexpectedly Buckethead is just as great as he is, or even better. Try one of Buckethead's albums, you will fall in love with and finally get addicted to his underestimated talent. Buckethead can play any style as well as guitar god Jeff Beck. "Chinese Democracy" is definitely the best rock album since 1991. It got what the other great rock bands like Metallica, AC/DC, etc. are always missing: beautiful melodies. In fact, Axl's new album is way way better than any Slash or Duff's solo projects. If your religion is rock music, then Axl Rose is your God and his albums is your Bible. Buy more copies of this masterpiece for your family and friends to do them a huge favor!
Music Review: Spaghetti...YUMMY!!!! Rating: 4 Stars
Now, I think that this is at the bottom of the list of the best Guns N' Roses CDs out there but it is awesome for what it has. They still had the attitude of their other CDs only they were singing covers. I don't think that this is worthy of 5 stars because of the fact that these are covers and not G N' R originals (they could probably pass as originals though by the way they sing them) but I give it 4 because I love it and, well, it's Guns N' Roses. The best part about it is they don't butcher the songs like other crappy bands that sing covers. Get it if you love Guns N' Roses, if you like the originals, listen to the samples then get it if you like it. This CD is not for everyone, but it is too cool.
Music Review: A Lot Better Than I Thought It Would Be. Rating: 4 Stars
I figured this album would be like a two star thing when I bought it. But I was quite suprised when I found out it was very good. Apart from several mediocre songs, this is a great album of classic punk and hard rock covers. Some of them downright stink, which is why this album only recieved 4 stars. But some of them rock like there is no tommorrow. Often Axl Rose makes strange sounds with his voice. If you are looking for the heaviest GNR song ever, check out Ain't It Fun with its almost death metal chorus. This is a great bargain for any hard rock/metal fan, but if you are a beginner on this band, I would advise you to check out Appetite For Destruction or the Use Your Illusion albums first.
Music Review: The Punk Incident? Rating: 4 Stars
The Spaghetti Incident was to be the final release of the now classic lineup of Guns and Roses. Instead of going out with a bang, the band went out with a whimper caused by fighting and egos within the band.
That said, this album isn't entirely bad. The band picked some of their favorite punk (and one or two non-punk) classics and put their spin on them. The video for "Since You've Been Gone" got a fair amount of airplay and video time back when it came out.
If you're a fan of GNR and are curious where their roots come from, then by all means pick this up. If you're a casual fan looking for the hits, then move on. There's nothing to see here.
Music Review: Hmmm ... Rating: 1 Stars
This was just strange as far as I'm concerned. It's not unusual for a band to do cover songs, but it is unusual for a band to put out an entire album of cover songs. I wonder why they - or let's be frank here, Axl - felt like he needed to do this. To say this was a weak ending to their career is the difference between shooting a bullet and throwing it. After the phenomenal success of the Illusion albums we get ... this? Well, it's something. Covers are covers, even if it's one you really like. I never listen to this one, but it will remain in my collection. This is like all those boxes of cereal in the pantry - not enough to eat but too much to throw away.
