Boy, that was a bold choice of a song for SRV to cover, it came off better than I expected tbh. Delta Blues and pop funk are just so close but so far musically.
Still, like so many of these, it's just hard to top an original classic, though I found that live version to drag on just a little too long.

True but Warren Haynes is a beast in his own right. Any man who tours all year with Phish, Gov’t Mule, Allman Brothers, The Dead...all while doing his own solo stuff gets Guitar Guru of the year in my books any day.

Have to go with The Who on this one

This is true. Derek Trucks isn’t exactly a bum either lol.
Have to agree with you here Kyle...I think Hinder did it better. And man! watching the videos...talk about two completely different takes on that song!

Depends on the day I listen. I'm not sure either Pete or Roger would agree with you though. They were entranced.
I have heard the Minor Key Version of a bunch of songs and I think a lot of them are pretty great. But they are not versions I would listen to all the time, or really just more than once or twice. So Hoobastank gets my nod on this one.
I'm going with Frank Zappa on this one. Not sure why...I just liked it more.
Suoerstition needs to be Funky. Give this one to Stevie!
The Who! They just make that song feel EPIC!
I grew up listening to Guns n' Roses, but I really think I like the Shovels and Rope version better. I think there is more depth of vocals and the Bridge towards the end really gets me on this one!

It's so tough between those two. IMO the raw feeling of the song comes out in the first version, but man the guitar chops in the later version were just out of this world.

Whatever The Who themselves think, for me it's The Who all the way, not even close. Rodger Daltrey has the best yell in rock IMO and it just shines here.
Don't hate on me, but G&R has always rubbed me the wrong way. But that S&RMCK version was just gorgeous, I'm with you on this one Don.

I wouldn't hate on you at all Cole! Yeah that was my thoughts on the Shovels and Rope version too!
Hey the originals are always the best that was analog tape...dubs were spliced or just done over and over again until it was what it was. Listen to the Allman Brothers at the Fillmore. Nuff said. I get excited when I hear Trucks and Haynes play it because I know Duane would have gone “Damn! That was a good run!” Good is good and they are both good...but I jam the originals every time I can!
