There is an 'incident' beyond the album title which is knew that was an inside joke referring to a food fight between Rose and their before Sorum’ drummer Steven Adler. Much was made of this food fight during Adler’s lawsuit against the band in 1993, in which he attorney referred to it as “the Spaghetti Incident.” In that years as punk albums go, The Spaghetti Incident? lacks righteous anger and rage. As Guns N’ Roses albums go, it’s a complete delight, returning to the ferocious, hard-rocking days of Appetite for Destruction. The Gunners play Stooges and New York Dolls songs exactly as they do Nazareth - as straight-ahead, driving riff-rockers. After the epic Use Your Illusions, the band sounds like it’s having fun, not caring about making “art” like “November Rain” or “Estranged.” Unfortunately, the tacked-on Charles Manson song leaves a bad aftertaste, but not because of the song itself; the inclusion of the song seems like a publicity-seeking stunt, a way to increase their sales while trying to regain their street credibility. And as The Spaghetti Incident? proves, they didn't need to stoop so low.
