Majestic Beast Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 (edited) I agree but many people first heared GN'R version and the learn was dylan song,it's rare to like a cover more than the original song,but i think the original just lack of energy and that energy GNR gave to that famous song.

Order of Nine Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 It really goes to show how far an interpretation of the same three chords can go, with a signature/original performance and production that gives it a new life. The original will always be left eating dust. Same exact story for LALD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
default_ Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Talkin of Heavens Door covers, my fav is Claptons and thats why I kind of like the version GNR is doing now, its closer to Claptons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liers Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 It's hard to even compare the two since they've become 2 very different songs almost. The Dylan version is more calm soulful, and depressing. The GnR version is much more modern and upbeat and there's a lot more going on. Bob Dylan is a great song writer... but I've never been a huge fan of him vocally. I much prefer the GnR version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pskihq92 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I saw " BOB DYLAN and his band" in 2008 and it was the worst concert I've ever been to.. they played a bunch of shitty country music none of us knew except they ended with Like a Rolling Stone.. he was horrible. Made the album version sound lile Elton john. And he didn't even touch a fucking guitar.. synth the whole show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also saw him live in 2008, and it was one of the most horrifying concerts I've been to. He's a legendary lyricist/songwriter, but as far as his performances go...yikes.

RONIN Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 M. Shadows mentioned in another interview that he changed his diet to eating only pie, cake, and ice cream because it was the nutritious diet that W. Axl Rose was following. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or as George Harrison would say: Paul Cashmere: Have you heard Guns ‘n’ Roses “Knocking on Heaven’s Door”? George Harrison: Yeah, didn’t even get the chords right, did they? Paul Cashmere: So I take it you’re not a big fan of that one, then? George Harrison: There’s only three chords in it, but they managed to get one of them wrong.

MYWIFEMYLIFE Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I love Dylan's songs, but not him performing them. Think it was Mccartney's kids that told him he was cool, cuz he covered a gnr tune, this happens 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
