Guns N Roses' "Knockin on Heaven's Door" is the worst cover of the 90s

[Peen Simmons]

I liked GNR long before any of those things.

Ears dead since birth. Probably a side effect of being from New Jersey.

 

[Peen Simmons]

I'll admit to loving GnR in the 1990s. Because they were manufactured to appear to dumb white teenage boys like me.

Boy band for the denizens of convenient store parking lots.

 

[Knox in Box]

Cool ranch dressing.

There's an insider here that I don't get.

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

LOL.

Previous influences include Jim Henson, Igor Stravinsky, Queen, and Van Halen.

Popularity breeds contempt...

Contempt is like rabbits. Don't need any help breeding. Also, it's all over my lawn.

The Rolling Stones?

 

[DFB]

GnR had one good album. That's it. The rest of their output was as good as The Sex Pistols , Friggin in the Rigggin

I turned my lawn into a garden. It's all herbs and ladybugs now.

The Rolling Stones?

Unpossible. The Stones predate the proliferation of c-stores and stoned heavy metal boys hanging around outside the Gas and Sip.

 

[mikesr1963]

It is funny; Knocking on Heaven's Door is hardly one of Dylan's best songs, yet it may be one of the most covered Dylan songs. Go figure.

THis. Even Dylan butchers it when he plays it.

You just don't like it because it's about gun control.

Yep.

He wrote it for a western movie but hey, it's your world I'm just live'n in it.

Momma, take those guns from Mike
He can't have them, anymore
Been doing stuff them liberals they don't like
Obama squad knocking at your door

You're stepping over the line in the wrong thread.

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

Overflowing with contempt.

Messing around. No one is touching anyone's cold dead hands here.

I'm a big GnR fan. This song is terrible though.

I'm in complete agreement here...
I don't love all of their material but they had their time and place...
TBH, I'm really more of a Slash fan than a GnR fan.

Agree....AC\DC even allowed him the pleasure of finishing up their final tour because Lady Ga Ga was busy and Amy Winehouse is dead!!

 

[sonik]

GnR had a whole god damn album of bad covers...

My dad accidentally received it from either Columbia house or BMG and gave it to me
