Knock knock on heaven's door


"Knockin' on Heaven's Door" by Guns N' Roses is typically performed in the key of G major. Originally written and recorded by Bob Dylan, Guns N' Roses covered the song for their 1990 album "Use Your Illusion II." The song became one of their most iconic hits, showcasing Axl Rose's emotive vocals and Slash's signature guitar solos. Interestingly, the cover version features additional lyrics not found in Dylan's original, and it has been praised for its powerful interpretation and raw energy. The melody is characterized by a poignant acoustic guitar riff and anthemic chorus, creating a sense of longing and reflection. "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" remains a staple of Guns N' Roses' live performances and is regarded as one of their classic songs.
