Album title

• According to one rumor, at the release of the album, the band did not want, or in fact, were not allowed by a court's verdict to explain the title of the album. The album is believed to have been named in derisive reference to ex-Guns N' Roses drummer Steven Adler, who has sued the band several times, either for royalties not paid to him for the tracks he played on, or for the royalties he had to miss since he was kicked out of the band. In a 1992 case, Adler tried to prove to the court how "mean" all band members had treated him, and he told the court about the "Spaghetti Incident": before a show the band had dinner together, and apparently one of the members had eaten Adler's spaghetti. When Adler asked who had eaten his spaghetti, he was met with laughter. Part of the later verdict was that nothing of the verdict was to be disclosed, but part of this court decision was used in a 1997 court case again, showing the settlement with Adler (he received a total sum of $2.5 million[1]), showing the total profit the band had made in 7 years (more than 650 million dollars), and also showing that Axl Rose was the true owner of the trademark to the band's name.
• Another rumor is that as a toddler, Steven Adler would usually agitate his parents by getting his face covered with spaghetti and make a mess when eating the dish. One night, while mashed, he told this memory to his bandmates who vowed never to eat spaghetti with him again because of "the spaghetti incident" they had just heard about.
• A different source of the title was explained by drummer Matt Sorum in a 1994 interview with Much Music. Sorum claims it is reference to a spaghetti fight the band had with Steven Adler, and not stealing his spaghetti.
• In the "Making of Estranged" video, a scene appears where Axl Rose, Slash and the cover designer discuss how the text should appear within quotation marks and have a question mark.
• In an interview with Duff, he said "The Spaghetti Incident?" was related to a drug incident when the band was staying above an Italian restaurant in Chicago in 1987. Steven nicknamed his heroin spaghetti as code in case they were to be kicked out or arrested, but only Axl knew and not the rest of the band. When Steven woke up intoxicated and could not find his drugs he threatened to kill Duff. Axl apparently woke up to hear 'Where's my fucking spaghetti?' and just started to laugh. ^{[citation needed]}

Controversy

Despite protests from Rose's bandmates, an unadvertised cover of Charles Manson's song "Look at Your Game, Girl" was included on the album at his request. The CD release gave no track number to the song - it could only be found by listening through the dead air left after the last documented track on the album. In early 2000, Rose said that he would remove "Look at Your Game, Girl" from re-issues of the album, citing that critics and popular media misinterpreted his interest in Manson and that a misunderstanding public no longer deserved to hear it. However, as of 2007, the song is still present on the album. Charles Milles Manson (born November 12, 1934) was the leader of what came to be known as the Manson Family, a commune that is often termed a cult and that began to form around him in the U.S. city of San Francisco in 1967. ...
