Remembrance of Videos Past #49: Guns N Roses, "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" (Live at the Ritz)"

I never liked the studio version of this song on Use Your Illusion II. This, however, is GN'R in all their ragged, coke-freeze glory.
A '90s era Guns song played during the Appetite days. Slash's solo here is like giving cunnilingus to a banana bread muffin. And the banter.

"You know what time it is right now?"

It's the one year anniversary of "Remembrance of Videos Past."

Here's a look back at all the others.

And here's the one year anniversary special.

So great watching the audience trying to get louder than Axl.



BONUS:

Black Crowes, "Thorn in My Pride"

Nothing quite butchers a classic like the safety pin-esque squelch of Axl Rose. I hope Dylan cashed out well on that arrangement.

And for that matter, McCartney, too, for Live & Let Die.
