Now this is a good one, not only because I am a big fan of both bands, but because Guns N’ Roses and the Rolling Stones are universally considered to be two of the greatest bands in rock and roll history (for me top ten). The song is “Sympathy for the Devil” by the Rolling Stones.
First up, The Rolling Stones:

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!
One original, one cover, first up Paul McCartney and Wings “Live and Let Die”
Next up the Guns N’ Roses version:
Personally I am not the biggest McCartney fan so I got to go with GnR’s version, but tell us what you think!
