Daily Dose 7/16 Guns N Roses Cover The Misfits “Attitude”

The Mifits have been one of my favorite bands since the mid 90’s when a friend of mine introduced me to them. I didn’t really get into them until I saw them live with Michael Graves singing in 1996 and then from there it snow-balled into almost an obsession. Buying up anything and everything I could find that had to do with The Misfits. Personally I like the old Misfits, but Graves did a good job on American Psycho and this facade that Jerry Only is putting on these days falls short.

When Guns N Roses came out with the Spaghetti Incident I didn’t buy it. There wasn’t a lot on the album that appealed to me at the time but after I got into The Misfits and other old school punk music I came across The Spaghetti Incident in a used record store and scooped it up. To me the Guns N Roses cover of the song sounds too clean to me and I don’t really care for it. No one can quite sing and play this song like Glenn Danzig and The Misfits. Check out the original below and then listen to Guns N Roses Cover. I like the sheer rawness of The Misfits original. While Duff does a credible job, it just doesn’t do it for me.
