Favorite GNR cover songs

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?

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
