*** = doubtful, according to Mick Wall's book this was recorded during the
UYI sessions.
Izzy's guitar parts on the "The Spaghetti Incident?"
tracks were later re-recorded by Gilby Clarke.
GN'R were supposed to enter the studio on January 15th 1990, but
they pulled out because of the Steven situation. Then they were
supposed to start on May 1st but that got pushed back too.
Martin Chambers [The Pretenders] and Adam Maples [Sea Hags] were
used when Steven was out of the band. Then they took Steven back
and finally fired him.
In September 1990 the band entered Studio One at A&M Studios
in Hollywood. |
