GN'R Lies/Appetite For Destruction/The Spaghetti Incident - Guns N' Roses

GN'R Lies - Guns N' Roses, reserved seat amongst the rock Gods

Advantages: Excellent original songs, includes 'Patience'
Disadvantages: More or less a stop-gap from the record company

GN'R Lies was the short LP released by Geffen records after the debut 'Appetite For Destruction', used as a stop gap between records. It features several live covers such as Aerosmith's 'Mama Kin', delivered in that high-pitched snarl of Axl Rose. Despite the lack of original material, there are several highlights, which all happen to be new songs - 'Patience', 'Used To Love Her' and 'One In A Million'. It is at this point Guns N' Roses were reserved a places in the pantheon of rock gods, as these songs are by far the highlight of an otherwise classic-rock cover album. 'Patience' is a heart-wrenching ballad, co-written by Axl Rose and Izzy Stradlin. It is of an acoustic arrangment, which gives Guns N' Roses a softer dimension that had never really been explored before. 'Used To Love Her' is perhaps the only Guns N' Roses song to ...

Review of Spaghetti Incident, The - Guns N' Roses

The Worst Album Guns N' Roses Made

Advantages: Different approach on some songs you may have heard before
Disadvantages: It's just not Guns.

"That's the sound of Guns N' Roses breaking up, right there" - Slash (Guns N' Roses) I bought this album for about £3.99 simply to complete my GNR CD Collection, as I am a big fan of their music. I was thoroughly disappointed, but, really what could I expect? Coming after the huge double album Use Your Illusion (Volumes I and II), this was the last album produced by Guns N' Roses. Their lineup slightly altered from when the first hit the music scene back in the late eighties, this album shows just how much they had changed. Consider Appetite for Destruction - Heavily original, new and different, ground-breaking stuff. Then this. This album was the culmination of a illustrious career, but it simply fails to produce, it is a terrible anti-climax and you are just left thinking "what happened?". Now, to be fair, there are some ...
