Guns N' Roses - Knockin' On Heaven's Door

"Knockin' on Heaven's Door" is a song by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, written for the soundtrack of the 1973 film Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. Released as a single two months after the film's release, it became a worldwide hit, reaching the Top 10 in several countries. In 1987, American hard rock band Guns N' Roses started performing the song. A live version of the song was released on the 12" single of "Welcome to the Jungle" the same year. They recorded and released a studio version in 1990 for the soundtrack of the film Days of Thunder that reached No. 18 on the US Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart and No. 56 on Canada's RPM Top Singles chart. This version was slightly modified for the 1991 album Use Your Illusion II, discarding the responses in the second verse.
