Favorite GNR cover songs

[Rainbow Warrior]

There has been a lot discussion about the tracks on the Greatest Hits-cd and whether they should be there or not. If you had to choose your favourite cover track on the album what would that be and why?

-Knocking On Heavens Door
-Live And Let Die                  
-Since I Don?t Have You
-Ain?t It Fun
-Sympathy For The Devil

Mine is definitely "Ain?t It Fun". It may not be their most played song but I think it contains a good text, a good melody and a very very cool acid like chorus that I would love to headbang wildly to live if there will ever be a concert again. IMO "Live And Let Die" could easily be beaten by this superb track.

Your favourite cover track by Guns?  

[Booker Floyd]

Probably "Live & Let Die"

[Timothy]

Ain?t It Fun

[Izzy]

While 5 covers on a GH is not good......it doesn't change the fact they are 5 very very good covers.

I am gonna go for 'Since I don't have you', love that song!

[matt88]

Easily Knockin On Heaven's Door, followed by aint it fun

[kujo722]

Probably "Live & Let Die" barely edging out "Ain't It Fun"

[AdZ]

Gonna go for Sympathy for the Devil, it proves just how versatile axl's voice is.

[kockstar99]

Axl's Scream on Live and Let die is amazing...

Slash on Aint it Fun is fucking amazing...

Since I dont have you is also a classic song...

but Ill take Live and Let die over any of them..

Down on the farm was fucking bad ass... even better live..

[Johnnyblood]

If we can include live stuff and demos, I'd pick the Marquee '87 version of KOHD or the electric demo of Jumpin Jack Flash as my favorite.

Going strictly by LP stuff, I've always liked their version of Down on the Farm.

Ain't It Fun, Black Leather, Buick Makane, and New Rose are pretty good too. I also think I Don't Care About You would have been awesome if Axl was the only singer.

[HoldenCaulfield]

Tough choice. If I had to pick a favorite on the GH, it would be 'Sympathy For the Devil', but only because I think the new band does much better versions of LALD and KOHD.

[John Daniels]

1) Knocking On Heavens Door

2)Ain't it Fun

3)Live And Let Die

4)Down On The Farm

[AxlsMainMan]

My favorite cover track would be Live And Let Die followed closely by Knockin' On Heaven's Door.

[Skunk]

my favorite is Knockin on Heavens Door, but i think Live and Let Die is their best, because it's a huge improvement on the original. they made that song rock. i think few bands have ever owned a cover quite like GNR did with that one.

[SLCPUNK]

Jumpin' Jack Flash

Whole Lotta Rosie

[Billo]

Aint it FUN.....by a mile...LOve the guitars and the whole song....I would like to hear just Axl sing the vocals..that would be cool..
Also..i REALLY hate it when that Phone mess part comes on in the studio vers of KOHD..its BAD....like there live vers alot better..

[bolton]

1.knockin on heavens door(is this cover track?gnr done this thing better than dylan)
2.live and let die
3.ain't it fun
4.sftd
5.sidhv

[AxlsMainMan]

Slash and Gilby's cover of Wild Horses live is one of my favorites also.

[SwedeChildO'Mine]

KOHD followed by Ain't it Fun

[Axl4Prez2004]

Performed at a concert, the easy answer to this is Live and Let Die.  Have any of you tried to scream at the top of your lungs for 12 to 15 seconds and sound that god damn cool?

it may be short, but It's Alright is #2 for me, simply a beautiful song.

and I prefer DOTF to AIF for #3.
