    Covers, uncovers, remakes, etc.

    Can't stand Guns N Roses reduxes o f "Live and Let Die" and "Knockin' on Heavan's "Door".Totally wrongly approached and poorly execute Axel's voice isn't at all fitting for either tune...and don't get me started about loud sailing guitars for the Dylan number.....completely inapproprate....
