Retrohump B-Side
Guns N' Roses - Knocking on heavens door
[with working video]
Today's jaunt through the cobwebs of the Retrohump crypt allowed me to re-discover this drafted but never published post. Call it the Chinese Democracy effect, or the first ever Merry Swankster unreleased b-side.
I know this song has been covered by everyone, as has most of Bob Dylan's catalog. That doesn't stop GnR from tearing it a new one on this live version. Ever since I picked up the Live Era GnR double disk a few years back, I've always been drawn to Axl's version. I dig the whole thing. Axl's soul singer primal scream, and even the ridiculous reggae interlude. What really gets me though, is the crowd. Take a listen to the Live Era disk version and you'll see what I mean.
