GN’R’s third (if you count the illusion’s as one) studio album, The Spaghetti Incident? Took its title from an incident brought up in a court case, where the band’s original drummer, Steven Adler was suing the band for loss of earnings, having been fired for failing to kick a drug habit.

Here Guns N' Roses pick a mere dozen tunes which helped inspire them to become musicians and, for the most part, record relatively faithful cover versions. The Johnny Thunders estate will be collecting windfall royalties from both a New York Dolls and a solo cover, Axl sounds hilarious on The Skyliners' 1958 classic Since I Don't Have You, and bassist Duff McKagan steps out with three strong lead vocals, including The Damned's New Rose. Though nine of the chosen songs are associated with punk, the production is outdoor stadium gig friendly and this will sell ...
