Only if they're the 3.5" floppy kind.
Up next: Lara Logan interviews the rental clerk who says he saved lives but was actually out back smoking reefer.
Tell them to save their money and open a record store instead. That'll bring in the ducats.
Wait-you mean that's not how you celebrate a film's 20th anniversary?
The only shame in listening to 2 Live Crew is that their music sucks so bad that they can't even be listened to ironically. And I'm a Gen X'er-we can do (almost) anything ironically!
My mom was actually pretty tolerant about most pop-culture stuff I did. She steered me clear of trash but that was more because it was trash, not because she was that much of a prude. So I couldn't rent Porky's but she let me rent Terry Gilliam's Brazil when I was 15, even though they were both R-rated movies. Because…

It's funny that this album was originally going to be an EP of punk covers, because the punk songs, except for the cover of the Sex Pistols' "Black Leather," are the least successful parts of it. Really, the only songs on this I still listen to are the hard rock covers (Nazareth, T. Rex).
GN'R is one of my all-time favorite bands, but even in '93 I wasn't really looking forward to this album. Plus Izzy Stradlin, who was their songwriting linchpin, was gone by this point, so I have to agree that even an original album by this line-up would not have been an Appetite-size success, creatively or sales-wise.
