FAQs About Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door
What did Guns N’ Roses say about “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door”?
When I went to play the lead, Bob came up and asked me to play like… [incredulously] Django Reinhardt! l couldn’t figure out where he was coming from. I didn’t hear that at all! So basically, I just laid down the part I thought should be there. Everybody seemed to be happy with it. It was just a funny day, but the song got done.
