Slash On Metallica’s ‘Garage Days’

While some fans may debate the merits of a band releasing an album of someone else’s material, Slash is firmly in the thumbs up camp.

In a recent interview, the Guns N’ Roses rocker discussed how their 1993 covers collection, The Spaghetti Incident?, came together, revealing, “It was a hell of a lot of fun.”

“Some cover records are better than others. But the ones where the artist really relates to the original material and it becomes part of their personality when they re-record it, I think that’s really cool,” admitted Slash.

Which covers album would be one of his top picks? “I thought Garage Days from Metallica was one of the best cover records of all time. It was great,” says Slash.
