Title: Did Bob Dylan like GNR cover of KOHD, and did Paul like Liveandletdie? Post by: Wooody on January 18, 2006, 08:47:03 AM ??? Im just curious, I don't remember ever reading any of it.
Title: Re: Did Bob Dylan like GNR cover of KOHD, and did Paul like Liveandletdie? Post by: elmir on January 18, 2006, 09:58:21 AM I've also never read any comments from the original authors. Then again, KOHD has been covered a few times, and I don't think Dylan ever gave a shit, as long as he got his royalties.

Title: Re: Did Bob Dylan like GNR cover of KOHD, and did Paul like Liveandletdie? Post by: rainX on January 18, 2006, 12:05:09 PM when i saw paul a couple years back, he told a story before playing LALD along the lines of a girl coming up to him and saying "why are you covering Axl's song"

Title: Re: Did Bob Dylan like GNR cover of KOHD, and did Paul like Liveandletdie? Post by: Buddha_Master on January 18, 2006, 01:05:26 PM I dig both Paul and Dylan. Paul I assume probably did think the remake of LALD was great. But Dylan, I would think, thought KOHD was utter shit. As a Dylan fan, the only good version of KOHD that GNR did, was on the 2002 tour. Every stupid fucking version of it that the old GNR did after the Ritz gig (The Ritz, just because of how raw it was, and the way Axl emotes is an awesome thing) was so fucking painfully bad. I am talking tuck your dick between your legs gay bad (the Reggae, calling the telephone and the dumbshit being said, the choir, etc...errr). Just embarrasing.

I really don't really care what Dylan or Paul thinks about the covers,I think that GN'R versions are alot better than the original versions anyway :yes: Title: Re: Did Bob Dylan like GNR cover of KOHD, and did Paul like Liveandletdie?

Post by: Olorin on January 30, 2006, 06:48:49 AM Paul McCartney basically covers GN'Rs version when he plays it now. :beer:

Title: Re: Did Bob Dylan like GNR cover of KOHD, and did Paul like Liveandletdie? Post by: Mama Kin on January 30, 2006, 07:51:28 PM I once heard from somewhere, that GN'R's cover was Dylan's favorite cover of KOHD,

I bet Axl would love to meet a songwriter like Dylan right now!! Sounds like he may need a songwriter to complete a great album--like they are a song or two away from a great ,13 to 15 song classic record. Enter Mr. Stradlin (one can only hope)!

You know that Dylan used a choir and back up singers for KODH on some of his tours right? Title: Re: Did Bob Dylan like GNR cover of KOHD, and did Paul like Liveandletdie? Post by: Smoking Guns on January 30, 2006, 08:20:47 PM Look, did Dylan like Hendrix's All Along the Watch Tower????? I don't know either, but sheot blew away the original. Just like GNR's blows away KOHD.
Title: Re: Did Bob Dylan like GNR cover of KOHD, and did Paul like Liveandletdie? Post by: dave-gnfnr2k on January 30, 2006, 08:25:29 PM Btw the worst version of KOHD BY FAR is the Clapton version. That is just awful.
This versions is a close 2nd http://www.youtube.com/?v=ti9Z5pFvzqM And people like to bash Avil but her version isnt that bad. http://www.youtube.com/w/knocking-on-Heaven%27s-door?v=BrwTZHYGVP0&search=knocking%20on%20heavens%20door Title: Re: Did Bob Dylan like GNR cover of KOHD, and did Paul like Liveandletdie?

Just like GNR's blows away KOHD.? Yes, Dylan was both honored & blown away by Jimi's cover of AATW. Said when he wrote it, never did he think it could sound like that. And could Bob not like GNR's version of KOHD. Especially those AFD era live versions. God, that was such a perfect song for them at that point in their career. Fit the image, gave'm a slow song, got the crowd involved, etc....., etc....... Title: Re: Did Bob Dylan like GNR cover of KOHD, and did Paul like Liveandletdie? Post by: Smoking Guns on January 30, 2006, 08:33:46 PM Dam we must all be trying to watch the video at the same time, it is slow as shit right now.? That is pretty cool for Dylan to say that about hendrix.? Dave's (Matthews) version was pretty dam good too.
Holy Sheot!!! I actually kind of like it! Its really hard not to like this song when the music (chords) sounds so great. But ya, I'm exaggerating. It is really lame. But I don't "hate" it. Eric Clapton is really a puh c compared to when he played in Creme. Title: Re: Did Bob Dylan like GNR cover of KOHD, and did Paul like Liveandletdie? Post by: Eugene Klein on January 30, 2006, 10:02:39 PM when i saw paul a couple years back, he told a story before playing LALD along the lines of a girl coming up to him and saying "why are you covering Axl's song" LOL I always thought he wasn't keen of Gn'R 's but it's great to read he was. Good point, his latest live versions are similar to Gn'R in comparison to his early nineties performances, though i haven't heard any Wings live version.

It might have been on these boards. I really don't recall. I just know I read it or heard it somewhere. I wish I had a link to show you, but I don't. So you just gotta take my word for it that I heard it. It doesn't mean it's true, it's just what I heard or read. Title: Re: Did Bob Dylan like GNR cover of KOHD, and did Paul like Liveandletdie?

I wasn't insinuating that you took a quote out of thin air, I just dont recall Dylan ever saying anything public about Gn'R, and Ive looked time and time again.

He said in Albany (i think) that a girl met him and asked him why Paul was playing "Axl's song" (Live N Let Die) Title: Re: Did Bob Dylan like GNR cover of KOHD, and did Paul like Liveandletdie? Post by: Kaybee on January 31, 2006, 06:35:04 PM I absolutely adore KOHD... Avril's version hurt my ears though. Horrid.
Title: Re: Did Bob Dylan like GNR cover of KOHD, and did Paul like Liveandletdie? Post by: godiva on February 01, 2006, 09:28:31 AM Yes, Axl talked about meeting a girl who asked him " Why is Paul McCartney doing your song?" Must have made him laugh ;D
