The new KOHD isn't close to as good as the old.

[EccoTides]

Wow, I might be the only one out there who liked the "Gimme some reggae!" part - I thought it was fun times. 

[Hammer1]

The gimme some reggae was the only part I liked in the live version.....

I personally have been raving about the latest version of kohd.....can't wait to have that in my car.....I like the song all over again, it's great having the new version.......love his voice and the organ or whatever the sound is in the background....slowing it down is amazing........

 

[Mattattack]

I like the 2002 version the best. I really don't like how he brought back the I sing one you sing one bit.

[mikegiuliana]

I wish they'd drop that cover already, more new music already, live and let die kohd

[ARC]

... are you with me on this one people...? 

[darkmonth]

You people have to stop comparing stuff to the older material! This is a new band with a whole new sound. Be thankful what we once had, and be thankful of the new stuff that we have to jam to.

NO!  You're WRONG!  The version Axl Rose plays now, is based on an old version... the Bob Dylan original is closer to this one now.

So stop talking shit.  Axl's gone to OLDER style!  It's fucking boring.  And you know it!

[Death Cube K]

No, not the reggae version.  I'm talking about the Live Era style.  Anyone who thinks the new version is better than how its played on Live Era, should really get their ears checked.  Its a no brainer. 

Funny how you present yourself as the king of facts...

It's a matter of taste!!!!

[D]

the O6 version sucks.

Boring,lifeless just blahhhhhhhhhh

I wish they'd drop that and LALD like Mike said.

[jsg2295]

I hated KOHD then...hate KOHD now.

[gnrkid03]

This 02 version was awesome.  It was so chill and made me feel all relaxed and warm inside.   Good stuff, I like em all though. 

[ColdNovemberRain]

The new version is better IMO.I liked the old version as well but i always kinda prefered Dylan's original.This sounds a lot closer to Dylan's which is why i prefer it.

To each their own.     

[F*ck Fear]

The only version from the old band I like of this song would be on UYI2. I hated the live version of it in the 90's.

[CocaineTongue22]

Yeah, it sucks now. The live version of the UYII classic was sublime. Like when they played it at the Freddie Mercury Tribute. Chills.

[tristanj13]

This 02 version was awesome.  It was so chill and made me feel all relaxed and warm inside.   Good stuff, I like em all though. 

Cool it makes other people feel the exact same way...the new synth they added to it is so soothing. I feel high just listening to the 02 and 0 versions hehe. That and Madagascar were the two songs Id listen to first whenever I found a new 02 shot to dl'd. I love the way he improvs the end of KOHD different every time.

Or to clear up the confusion.....Gimmie Some Regae was also awesome. 

[awolgnr]

Gimme some reggae version was the worst.  KOHD is my first choice for a song to drop from their set list permanently.  Not even in the top eight best songs on UYI 2.... Newer version isn't quite as obnoxious though.

[IRS]

axl sings it better than ever.

[dave-gnfnr2k]

Is that ron playing that slash like middle solo now ?

[The Prez]

The cover KOHD, done like the 'old' days, made the song moire popular than the original one. If you here the song, most people think the of the GN'r song, not the Bob Dylan's song.

So, GN'R's cover of that song is part of GN'R identity. If you like it or not, that's a fact.

Anyhow, I liked it very much the way Guns did it back in the '90s (one of my favorite songs live).
The way they perform the song now is a 'good' cover, but it is just a cover song. For me not as good as the original GN'R song, because that version kicked major ass. It is not a real GN'R style for me. I'm a huge GN'R fan, and I support their new sound for NEW songs.
I think they should keep the sound of the older songs!!!! Imagine they suddenly begin to sing PC or SCOM in a different way...how much GN'R fan do you feel then??

In fact I wonder why Axl do not want to sing it back like he used to do? And and excuse of his age is bullshit! He's a fucking rockstar: act like one! Look at others like Lemmy, Ozzy, James,..etc are they getting melow in their songs? i don't thinks so.

So please Axl, bring back to old style of KOHD!     

[Billo]

I really liked the old UUI tour version but after hearing that version so many times once i heard the RIO 3 version which was alot mellower and sounded so different and fresh i really loved the new version but the version they play now is a mix of the 2 if u ask me..The slower start and the louder crowd finish.. I still like it..

[kaasupoltin]

I think '93-version is the best
