Eric
Probably showing my age but, Bob Dylan. He wrote some outstanding songs. Most of which other other groups did a better job of singing. There were a fair number that he did an outstanding job of singing himself, this was one of them in my opinion.
Eric Clapton all the way!!!
Made me smile when I saw the post…have thought of having the Dylan version played at my funeral. One of my all-time favorites.
I love Clapton, but to me it’s all about the original lyrics. Who was that last guy???
Have never put the specific plans for that event in notarized writing…yet. But I told my wife.
Shoot, the way the country is flying around the corner of 4th & SHTF I may have to get a CD player with some spare batteries safely stored in a plastic bag and likewise with a CD of the DYLAN version stashed away with my “special” prep…to ensure when I finally do put my guns in the ground…I can be assured:
“It don’t mean noth’in.”
Good friend of mine passed way too early due to an inattentive/drunk/otherwise impaired driver driving on a suspended license while working for a law firm(!) had a message on his answering machine (remember those?) that went something like: (Dylan playing first, for 10-15 seconds), then “We’re not answering the phone right now because you might be trying to sell us something we don’t want or need, but if you want to leave a message……………” (Dylan plays for another 10-15 seconds) then you could leave your message.
His widow played Dylan at his funeral. I still tear up thinking about my friend Larry every time I hear Dylan.
Paul,
I grew up with a guy and worked with him in sales in my early 20’s for a brief time. He settled in the town we were raised in – in NJ. I took off and never came back except for brief visits. Good guy, I liked him, witty easy and fun to be around.
He married, bought a house close to his parents and had two kids, his Father brought him into his insurance business and I even bought a life insurance policy off him after I married.
Years past then tragedy struck and his little daughter was killed by a drunk driver close to their house on a quiet street. He was devastated and was never the same.
A few years later, he was walking his dog and was killed close to the same spot his daughter was killed at by another drunk driver. When I heard about it I was speechless. His poor wife.
NEVER, EVER TURN YOUR BACK ON TRAFFIC, ANYTIME, ANYWHERE.
I have a picture of him from 1972 at a party laughing hysterically, it’s hard to look at.
Bob Dylan hands down…watch the last few minutes of Lethal Weapon 2 when Riggs has been shot and Murtaugh thinks Riggs is dying…beautiful placement of the song for dramatic effect.
I watched the credits and was surprised to find it was a Bob Dylan song. When I got back home, I found the song was already part of my father’s Dylan album collection. Good times 🙂
Slow Hand- hands down! I’d rather run into DWS on a nudist beach over listening to G & R.
anon,
if by dws you mean wasserman schultz,she was actually a decent looking gal when she 1st entered the fla legislature–same w/my representative,kathy castor–she was in one of the pics posted about the women in white,either admin’s or stucky’s,don’t remember,but she’s haggish as hell now–20 years ago she was a very good looking woman–
a good reason not to support tulsi gabbard,it’s not easy watching a hottie age rapidly–
Yup, I mean’t Schultz. If I am listening to the radio and G&R comes on, I will change stations or shut it off. I can not stand them not in the least. As for DWS, me man, her woman.
i prefer clapton but dylan is also ok–
guns/roses,what did people ever see in them,especially the girls?
GNR by far. Amazing show last year. Not to take anything at all away from Clapton…
you better get that redoubt built quick cause we might be coming to change your mind–
gnr,i have never heard a single song by them that i like–
LOL! Love ’em man…but like I said, Clapton is amazing in his own right.
First time I remember hearing the song, it was on a Clapton Greatest Hits cassette I got from Columbia House back in 1986 … (Columbia House … F*cking blast from the PAST BAYBEE) … Loved the Clapton version.
… but in my view, the Dylan version is better … his tired voice and approach to the song make you feel like, you, yourself … are Knockin on Heaven’s Door
None of the above.

I love that song.
Epic solo buried in the mix.
Though I’ve always liked Dylan’s version, I like Guns N Roses’ version best.
You may think I’m weird but I’ve never like Eric Clapton’s stuff much after he left Cream, when I adored him.
Dylan
Tho’ I have been a fan of Dylan’s since 11 grade German class in 1965 when I did a report on him auf Deutsch, Clapton all the way. GnR never saw much in them.
