This is Dylan's most beautiful and moving song.
DYLAN: untouchable, CLAPTON: all right, GNR: lame
This is the original so of course its awesome but guns n roses version is also awesome:)
birddog055
A great Dylan song.
I can feel this song for real for real
Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid
Totally agree crunch!
Dylan's is best.
I love all the different versions of this song done by other artist. Great song!
Amazing
Guess Live and Let Die was a G&R original too! :-)
Are you a dumb a** bhawthorne82
Hawthorne81. Are you a knucklehead? This is the original!!!
@Sensiferum yes, this is the original version
When I listen to this song I don't know whether to cry or cry a lot. I love it too much for my own good. :/

So my dad was in surgery and they were playing death songs on the radio and he was drifting in and out of sleep, and when this song was playing, a dark figure was at the end of his bed. He goes, "am I dead?" and the figure goes, "no no! I'm your doctor!"
Not able to be reproduced respectfully
My daughter thought that heavens door was an original by Axle Rose and his band! Oh Jesus!
Oh this brings back good memories
A sad song when you really think about it.
Now Buffalo Springfield did ok on a few the house of the rising sun enough said I saw the Stones in 63-64 in Omaha Nebr.Mick said never again Ha Ha Ha well he never did. I got a million of them old stories
I like Dylan's music done by anyone else he's a poet but can't sing for s**t I road in that back of a truck once when he was heading for calif.the guy driving let Dylan off somewehere in Utah.

f LOVE this song
This song is too short... Wish it would last forever.
Thanks old friend. Always good to hear from you.
Love this Dylan song and I think it may be his one hit that I think is too short. What a lyricist.
richred42
I was born in 61 my older siblings always played this and all the REAL ROCK N ROLL IT'S TIMELESS AND GENIUS AS WELL
richred42
I LOVE THIS SONG I just cant decide which artist's version is my favorite, I love em all, Gun's nRoses is a good version too!
chrsroc
Could be longer tho
chrsroc
ah so this is where GnR's got their song from.. Never heard this version before..pret t y nice.
it is easy to dismiss Bobby Z until you listen to this song and a few others that will be in the Smithsonian someday. They are national treasures.
YES!!!!!!!!! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Hell fu#*ing YES!!!!
Warren Zevon covered this on his last album. Great version.

Love Bob Dylan. He has such a great artist. Where did all the good music go.
brian_black9
he sounds a lot more gnarly after 40 years of booze and pot
Dylan's voice sure did mellow with age, he sounds like a crooner here.
spamjammer99
So much better than Guts and Rosettes...l o l
@ mrliamjc All you have to put in is knoc you get this and the guns and roses one as suggestions. . .
Eric Clapton did this well, but nothing compares to Dylan. The Guns N Roses version is meh.
mrliamjc
I typed in the word knocking and expected to see Knocking on Heaven's Door Bob Dylan, then thought, Oh, well I might have to narrow my search down. I typed in knocking on heaven's, still nothing. From that moment on I never looked at Pandora the same way again =<
