"The Spaghetti Incident?" is the fifth studio album by Guns N' Roses, released on November 23, 1993 on Geffen Records.

The album debuted at #4 on the Billboard 200, significantly lower than previous Guns N' Roses releases and remains their lowest debuting studio album.

The album yielded three singles: "Ain't It Fun", "Since I Don't Have You" and "Hair of the Dog".

The album was the first and only album to feature the Spaghetti era Guns N' Roses lineup of Axl Rose, Slash, Gilby Clarke, Duff McKagan, Matt Sorum and Dizzy Reed.

Info[]

  • Every song on this album is a cover.
  • Interestingly, one of the songs ("Big Dumb Sex," by Soundgarden [Written by Chris Cornell]) is actually supposed to be making fun of the popular hard rock bands of the time like G N' R and Aerosmith.
  • There is a hidden track written by Charles Manson at the very end of the album called 'Look At Your Game Girl.'
