The Spaghetti Incident?

|
"The Spaghetti Incident?" was an album of song covers by Guns N' Roses recorded from the early '90s line up. The songs consists of cover versions of punk and rock songs of the late seventies and early eighties.
Many of the tracks were recorded with original Guns N' Roses guitarist Izzy Stradlin during the Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II sessions and were intended to be included on those albums when the band wanted the "Use Your Illusion" albums to be released as one set, consisting of three (or possibly even four) discs--instead of the two separate discs they ended up being.
In 1992, the band intended to release the leftover cover tracks as an EP, with then-Guns N' Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke replacing Stradlin's guitar tracks. They later decided on making the album a full release and recorded several more tracks for it.
Then-Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan sings on many of the album's tracks and Hanoi Rocks frontman (and Axl Rose idol) Michael Monroe appears on "Ain't It Fun" as a guest vocalist.
