It's Alright vs Dust in the Wind

[GivenToFly]

It's Alright, Black Sabbath cover, played in 1992

or

Dust in the Wind, Mark Klingman cover, played in 1993

both as intros to November Rain. Which do you prefer?

[Nosaj Thing]

Dust in the Wind!

Axl on piano and vocals, Slash on guitar. What else do you need?

[Broskirose]

Everything

The Asshole Song

[Shooting Star]

It's Alright, but both are good and they should have recorded in better quality.

[Amish]

I voted Dust in the Wind because ultimately, it's the Axl piano/vocals and Slash guitar that I fall for. I've struggled over the years honestly deciding which was my favorite Guns cover, but I think it's Dust in the Wind.

[Val22]

Wow! Dust In the Wind song could be the story of Axl's life.

Love how Axl sounds. This is an awesome song. Great cover, yet again.

[Chewbacca]

Dust In The Wind, I love that verse.

[Streetchild]

Dust in the wind. Great cover, and I prefer it over the Original.

I would have loved it if they had made a studio version of this.

Just Axl on vocals and piano and Slash on the guitar.

[classicguns4life]

God Axl USED to be so amazing. This band was a once in a lifetime thing that ended way too early.

It's so clever when people answer something that was not in the OPs poll...

I prefer It's Alright.

[RussTCB]

Voted It's Alright as GN'R's cover turned me onto the song for the first time.

[Kapoink]

Love them both but dust in the wind that's just awesome!

[GivenToFly]

Wow, it's been going head to head since I started the poll. I thought Dust in the Wind would win by a landslide, since it's the kind of song that quickly becomes a fan favorite.

I just knew as I was posting that some smartass would say Everything and what do you know, there it is, and another smartass immediately after goes with the Asshole song because humour and originality are by no means prerequisites for attempts at jokes.

Great song. Axl should have made a solo album of him just playing his piano and singing.

He only played it once for Stephanie Seymour because it was her favorite song or something.

[yourcrazy]

I like them both, but have to vote for dust in the wind, very moving performance.

[J Dog]

Went with Dust simply for the Axl/Slash factor. But I probably like Its Alright more.

[Powerage5]

It's Alright.

[DR DOOM]

I'm a big Sabbath fan, and there aren't too many decent Sabbath covers...Axl's is one of them.

But putting that aside, I voted It's Alright.

[Hollywood Gunner]

Its weird, i like the original dust in the wind better than the original its alright... but as far as the gnr covers, i prefer its alright... i guess it just suits axl better... imo anyways

[Axl_morris]

what about Gran Torino

[GivenToFly]

Can I just add that the originals are both kind of crap

what about Gran Torino

What about no.

[EvH]

So much threadcrapping going on.
