Who Did it Better? ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps’

Leave a comment

9 years after the death of the forgotten genius of the Beatles, George Harrison, I figured for the next edition of “Who Did it Better?” we would look at, in my view, Harrison’s greatest single musical contribution to the Beatles, the song ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps’ (this is up for debate I know but just go with the premise on this one). This time we have the original and two covers done, by arguably two men who rank in the top ten guitarist category of all times.

First up, the original:

Next up, we got Carlos Santana featuring Indie.Arie & Yo-Yo Ma

Lastly Eric Clapton & Paul McCartney

I am going with the original, but I gotta say Clapton is feeling it during his performance.

Who Did it Better? Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door

2 Comments

Back with another edition of Who did it better? and this time I have 4 songs for you to decide from, today we are going with another Bob Dylan classic ‘Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door’ (note oddly enough the original song is not on YouTube, but I did find a nice live performance with Tom Petty to supplement it)

Next up a Guns N’ Roses cover

Third I am going to throw in a different Eric Clapton cover

Just for argument sake here is a Avril Lavigne cover

Personally I like all the cover’s (yes even Avril’s), it’s a heartfelt emotional song and all four artist has that come across. My favorite of the four though got to be Guns N’ Roses, just can’t get past Axel’s vocals on this one, but we would love to hear your thoughts!
