HIVE MUSIC FESTIVAL Week 68 Second Round (ENG-ESP): "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" Bob Dylan/Guns&Roses

▶️ Watch on 3Speak


(Traducción al español al final del post)

Hello everybody on HIVE, and especially the Music Zone Community. My name is Jasper and I'm writing (and singing) to you from Cape Town in South Africa! Welcome to Week 68 / Round 2 of the Hive Music Festival!

Let’s continue the theme I thought of for weeks 64 to 67, where I tackle some songs that were originally released by one artist or band, but also have a very successful famous cover version released by another band or artist. I can then show you both versions and you let me know which one you prefer!

Last week I did “Have I Told You Lately” originally by Van Morrison, but also famously by Rod Stewart. So, which was better? You can double check here: https://ecency.com/hive-120026/@jasperdick/xgpumgzs

In my honest, personal (subjective!) opinion, I’m going to give that one to the original by Van Morrison. This is purely a matter of personal taste, and I grew up listening to many Van Morrison albums as my parents are big fans. On the other hand, I think we had one Rod Stewart song on a compilation CD, and so I don’t really have much background in appreciating him at all… Sorry Rod!

Today I would like to go back to another person who I listened to a lot in my youth, Bob Dylan. My parents have many of his albums, including the “Pat Garett and Billy the Kid” soundtrack. I remember my mother would always say that this was the album she wanted to be played at her funeral! It was released in 1973, and includes the famous song “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door”. Here is the original:

In 1991, the great rock band “Guns & Roses” made a rocking cover of the song that you can hear here, complete with distorted guitar solos:

So! Which one do you prefer? The original by Bob Dylan, or the rock cover by Guns & Roses?

Lyrics for “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” by Bob Dylan (Famously covered by Guns & Roses)

Mama, take this badge off of me
I can’t use it anymore
It’s gettin’ dark, too dark for me to see
I feel like I’m knockin’ on heaven’s door

Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door

Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can’t shoot them anymore
That long black cloud is comin’ down
I feel like I’m knockin’ on heaven’s door

Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door

Hola a todos en HIVE, y especialmente a la comunidad Music Zone. ¡Mi nombre es Jasper y les escribo (y canto) desde Ciudad del Cabo en Sudáfrica! ¡Bienvenidos a la Semana 68/Ronda 2 del Hive Music Festival!

Continuaremos con el tema que pensé durante las semanas 64 a 67, donde abordo algunas canciones que fueron lanzadas originalmente por un artista o banda, pero que también tienen una versión famosa muy exitosa lanzada por otra banda o artista. ¡Entonces puedo mostrarte ambas versiones y tú me cuentas cuál prefieres!

La semana pasada hice “Have I Told You Lately” originalmente de Van Morrison, pero también de Rod Stewart. Entonces, ¿cuál fue mejor? Puede volver a verificar aquí: https://ecency.com/hive-120026/@jasperdick/xgpumgzs

En mi opinión honesta y personal (¡subjetiva!), le daré esa al original de Van Morrison. Esto es puramente una cuestión de gusto personal y crecí escuchando muchos álbumes de Van Morrison porque mis padres son grandes admiradores. Por otro lado, creo que teníamos una canción de Rod Stewart en un CD recopilatorio, por lo que realmente no tengo mucha experiencia en apreciarlo en absoluto... ¡Lo siento, Rod!

Hoy me gustaría volver a otra persona a la que escuchaba mucho en mi juventud, Bob Dylan. Mis padres tienen muchos de sus álbumes, incluida la banda sonora de “Pat Garett and Billy the Kid”. Recuerdo que mi madre siempre decía que este era el álbum que quería que pusieran en su funeral. Fue lanzado en 1973 e incluye la famosa canción "Knockin' on Heaven's Door". Aquí está el original:

En 1991, la gran banda de rock “Guns & Roses” hizo una versión rockera de la canción que puedes escuchar aquí, completa con solos de guitarra distorsionados:

¡Entonces! ¿Cuál prefieres? ¿El original de Bob Dylan o la versión rockera de Guns & Roses?

Letra de “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” de Bob Dylan (famosa versión de Guns & Roses)

Mamá, quítame esta placa.
ya no puedo usarlo
Se está poniendo oscuro, demasiado oscuro para que yo pueda verlo.
Siento que estoy llamando a la puerta del cielo

Toc-Toc-Tocando en las puertas del cielo
Toc-Toc-Tocando en las puertas del cielo
Toc-Toc-Tocando en las puertas del cielo
Toc-Toc-Tocando en las puertas del cielo

mamá, pon mis armas en el suelo
ya no puedo dispararles
Esa larga nube negra está cayendo
Siento que estoy llamando a la puerta del cielo

Toc-Toc-Tocando en las puertas del cielo
Toc-Toc-Tocando en las puertas del cielo
Toc-Toc-Tocando en las puertas del cielo
Toc-Toc-Tocando en las puertas del cielo

I love the passion you used to pass the message.
You also played the guitar so well, I think you're a professional and then you perfect it with your voice.
You did justice to the song.

Hey Jasper! I send you warm vibes from Florencio Varela ! 😊 Your theme of comparing original and cover songs is like a musical journey. I connected with your take on 'Have I Told You Lately,' especially since Van Morrison's music brings back childhood memories. I am Excited to explore 'Knockin' on Heaven's Door' with you—Bob Dylan's music has a timeless charm. Can't wait for more musical adventures
