Song of the Day: Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door (Anomura Remix) by Bob Dylan


It was one year ago today that my Dad went into hospice care.  Every day, from now through August 19th, is going to be a painful anniversary.  My Dad loved music and that’s something that I inherited from him.  The song below helped me get through a lot, both when my mom passed and now, with my Dad.

I miss you, Dad.

Music Video of the Day: Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door by Guns N’ Roses (1992, directed by ????)


When I wrote about the video for Live and Let Die, I mentioned that Guns N’ Roses were responsible for two of the best covers of the 90s.  This is the other one.  Axl Rose and the entire band proved that they were just as capable of covering Bob Dylan as they were Paul McCartney and Wings.  Just as with Live and Let Die, Guns N’ Roses respected the original while also creating their own unique version.

There are actually two videos out there for GnR’s version of Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door.  This one was filmed at the Freddy Mercury Tribute Concert in 1992.

Enjoy!
