  • slash had to puke behind the amps then finished the song. fuckin champ

  • The AFD-era lineup was untouchable when they were ON....this rendition of "KOHD", hell the whole Ritz gig was a showcase of what these guys could do. Damned shame things went downhill from that point on...coulda been the next Stones/Aerosmith.

  • @bowslap They were equivalent to the Stones or Aerosmith. And Use Your Illusion is one of the greatest albums of all time. This song was on there, and so was November Rain, Shotgun Blues, Get in the Ring, Live and Let Die, and my favorite, Estranged

  • Axl's Low-rise leather jeans....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

  • Unfortunately, Steven Adler's incapable of playing professionally anymore. (Shame he's me GOAT drummer for my GOAT band), and Axl's a washed up dick.

  • @SacramentoDowntown Damned heroin will do ya in every time...and really, the band hasn't sounded the same since Adler was shitcanned/left. Sorum is a more accomplished drummer, but ol'Steve POPS when he hits that snare...threw away a hell of a gift. Axl's egomaniac ways shot him right in the ass as well..hell, every one of the original 5 members shat in their mess kits. We'll see if they can get it together at least for the RRHOF deal here soon.

  • La sonrisa de Axl es como la de un angel y su carita es hermosa y su cuerpo y voz son tan sexys!!!!

  • Lo q le paso a Axl esque cayo en una depresion y eso hace q subas de peso!!!

  • Axl's smile is so sweet looking :)

  • I say the only thing that could make this song (live version) any cooler (very hard to do but could be done!) is during the guitar solo, BD came up out of the blue, and sang a few lines. Then let the mic back to Axl. That would blow the audiences frieking mind!

  • GOD SAVES THE GUNS & THE ROSES!!!!!, FUCK WHY THE HELL THIS ALWAYS HAVE TO BE SO HARD, GET BACK TOGETHER YOU FUCKERS

  • what happened to you, axl?

  • The greates solo at 2:50 to 3:44

  • @kreciu1998 mmm...the worst coming from Slash

  • When I listen to Guns n' Roses, I feel like I'm Knockin' On Heaven's Door...

  • steven used to be hot

  • Why they never released this version commercially, I'll never know. The even released an album of live versions of songs and the song was on there but this version wasn't.

  • This is the best live version of this song I've ever heard. Axl is an amazing singer and the whole band kicks ass. Everything they've done is proof on why they should be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

  • I shiver to see the video u.U

    Thumbs up if too

  • Only guns for do 240p looks epic

  • is always a pleasure to see this video

  • when axl is in a good mood, he kicks ass

  • better drums

    

  • Axl is Hot !

  • It is just like a norm today that friends you have did something idiotic and are to stubborn to say smash it. GNR very unique in all 5.

  • wow this is an amazing song!! What happens to the chick at the end??

  • Man, thats for me one of the best gnr's concerts ever! You know, for me thats the best Knockin on heavens doors they played.

    I always take like 15 minutes to find this video, but i love see this song at the ritz. Sooooo good!

  • @lookjpa why take 15 minutes? just add it to your favorites :)

  • OMG axl looks soooooooooo handsome when he smiles :)

  • from 3:50 to 4:05, just play it over and over again

  • Good shit classic gnr

  • I think this the concert where Slash is so fucked up he stops playing to throw up behind the amps around 3:45

  • If Axel wasn't so F'd up this band would be still be together today

  • @poppazeps if it werent for Axl* there would have been no gnr.

  • @bradywgroghan Maybe your right but think about this; how many times has the band been on tour since the originals have been gone. No offense but he is the core problem

  • 5:00 whata crowd

  • izzy was a big part of gnr

  • Love it!

  • the old skool gnr r great 

  • Gods Knocking On Appetites Lineup Door But No Answer =(

  • @KURTYBIRDROCKS never

  • This is Fucking Awesome.First Best of Guns n Roses Squad Axl,Slash,Duff,Izzy,Steven Fucking Goood

  • This must be the best Guns version of this song I've ever seen/heard.

  • they play this song 3 whole years before the official release of it in the album Use your illusion ('91) :D

  • Hahahaah Adler looks bored: 3:55 to 3:57!

  • HAIL GUNS!

    (Axl,Slash,Duff,Steven,Izzy<3)

  • nigem super the voic the axl roses

  • axl's voice is the best!

  • guns 'n fucking roses...best rock band ever STFU!!!

  • god times

  • Comment removed

  • This is just something so awesome... It is great to see that all 5 members of gnr are playing perfectly their parts for this song. Axl with his strong and unique singing voice, Izzy with his brilliant comping, Duff with his great bass lines, Steven with his awesome drumming and Slash with his epic masterpiece solos... and they all work together so well. This is music.

  • I've been looking for this video for ever, thank you!!! I used to watch it on MTV every fukng day!!!

  • plz come to salonica in 2310 festival

  • @mixterotrypesforever etsi opos einai twra t na tous kaneis ?? ama itan oi original 5 tote nai alla eggo dn goustarw

  • Lol izzy in these early vids look about 12 but hes awesome.

  • These guys are legends and I am sad that all my son will have to know who Guns is are things like Youtube and whatever they have like it in 10 years! In my opinion, when these guys were firing on all cylinders (like they were here) there was nobody better - and there hasn't been anyone better since.

  • Who else wants this AMAZING band back together? I mean seriously this is fucking awesome!

  • @thejammanguitarist I do, but Axl's a dick. lol.

  • I wasn't born until not long after this concert. So I didn't get the chance to watch them live.

  • i love izzy, he is so amazing and hot :)

  • Sooo sexy, Axl! :D I wish I was alive in these times to see these guys! Shit, Prague 2010 was good, but without Slash, Steven, Izzy and Duff as well! Where are GnR now? :(

  • one of the best quality concert's, with the best band in the fukin' world !!!

    guns n' roses of corse

  • Press 0 to see axl screaming 'yeah' !

  • @lookjpa

    no way, press 0 to hear the last part of my michelle, see guns perfoming my michelle on this concert, and put on the final part

  • PORCA PUTTANA STO SBORRANDO

  • Jimmi Hendrix

  • Does anyone else wonder where time goes? I remember seeing this concert on MTV and it seems like yesterday. Wow!!

  • I love the sound of Steven's snare drum vibrations coupled with the rhythm from Duff's base guitar...tranquilizing, purely.... I still get choked up when I hear this song.

  • Adler the best in this show

  • any song on this show where Slash doesn't have a cigarrette on his mouth?? hahaha

  • @alysia76

    He doesn't say "we've got some bullshit over here", but he says "we've got some nakedness over here". In other videos this is uncensored. So she was probably just getting her top off ;).

    Best version of knockin' on heavens door by the way.

  • 246 152 views ? Am I the only One to watch this video ?

  • 6:12 know i see why she was taken away... she touched Slash´s guitar

  • FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

    

  • i don't wanna die till i see this 5 together on stage...

  • @MrGunsnhomer AMEN!!!

  • An,which version is better to you all?Today version,or this version?

  • @matafenomeno99 i think that this version is better because this is the real Guns N' Roses , not this one from today

  • wait, what exactly does axl say from 6:33 to 6:44?

    and what is the girl doing?

    sorry if im the one idiot that doesnt know anything lol.

    i love when axl just smiles and says "this is getting a lot more fun, i like this" lol

    im lame..

  • @forthemusiclistening He says something like "Bye honey, hope you had a good show, keep fighting... We got some bit**** here".

    She was probably trying to jump onstage or something ;)

    No need to feel lame because of that ahah.

    Cheers

  • @forthemusiclistening

    Quit it honey or you are outta of the show. Keep fighting... Oh we got... We got some new (inaudiable) here. This is getting a lot more fun, I like this.

  • @forthemusiclistening Yeah man, dont feel bad...cause thanks to Radenc, I just realized he does say "we got some bitches up here" and I love this performance...i have watched it over and over, and just now figured out what he says!!

  • Gotta love the original 5. :)

  • there's something wrong on this video, youtube admins... There's a dislike button!! Please, fix quickly that problem.

  • Impossible Not to Love this .

  • Best version of this song by them!

  • Axl looks so young here !

  • he was young here

  • @Slash18101994 Yup, 26!

  • @madalinnaa 26!

  • FUUUUUck, Better that studio version!

  • THIS SONG IS NOT IN THE MTV SHOWING OF THIS CONCERT...EVERYBODY CALL,TWITT,PHONE MTV AND TELL THEM TO RELEASE THE WHOLE SHOW ON DVD...MTV OWNS THE RIGHTS...IF NOBODY SPEAKS OUT MTV WILL NEVER RELEASE IT

  • They stoll their look from Hanoi Rocks look it up JR.

  • They are fucking great.....:D

    This is legendary!!!

  • change rock and roll these guys are lengends

  • most better that the fucking version from the freddie mercury tribute

  • I have searched years for this one. I've loved it since I first heard it live on MTV when they first showed it. Always loved how you could hear Steven's snare wires vibrating from Duff's bass.

  • Best band Ever

  • I agree... this is THE video for this song. The crappy race car movie one (forget the movie, but Tom Cruise was the star, I think) was too washed out and bland.

  • this is the best KNOCKING ON HEAVENS DOOR VERSION THAT I'VE EVER SEEN! MATT SORUM SORRY BUT YOU CAN'T COMPITE WITH STEVEN! This is better that Freddy Mercury concert tribute

  • damn this song reminds me of my grandmother, who died a year ago, I miss you Grandma ;(

  • there was a lot of greater concerts, but sadly not recorded with better cameras :)

    you should definitely watch this watch?v=hUwW7RI3U0w

    so much amazing club day concerts :)

  • yeah fight honey fight!

  • 4 people are kicking down hell's door

  • This is my Fave slash solo

    ok Def my top 5)

    What a concert this was, Pure classic Rock

    AT its Best

  • i wish i was alive in 88 just to see the guns play live <3

  • @TheRunescape0001

    You should. I was alive...saw this on the MTV and saw them live in Saginaw Michigan that May. Smaller venue, they headlined and KICKED A@@

  • @TheRunescape0001 it was fantastic, i was there !!!!!!!

  • @TheRunescape0001 me 2 :(

    

  • @TheRunescape0001 Unfortunately, there was no war at that time, so you wouldn't be able to see guns play live. Guns N' Roses was together at the time though.

  • @Rangerhalt1 i don't get what you mean.

  • @qRux1 It's a joke because he said "I wish I was alive in 88 just to see Guns play live", and I hate it when people abbreviate it to "Guns" so I replied sarcastically.

  • yeahhhh! my favorite song ♥ y love you♥

  • What does Axel things, if he see this?

  • see, do not need four hookers back to the chorus or two keyboards of crap, just enough to rock attitude ....

  • great great great cover

  • even slash is a great or maybe greatest guitarist, but he can do wrong too, just look at 0:26

  • @oneeesnesnes I though the same, and indeed he went wrong. He probably got confused while paying attention to the pots; his right hand was trying to set up the correct volume.

  • @gbarosio1 yes, youre right, when slash knew that, then he was trying to set up the correct volume

  • can anyone give credit to izzy?! he was probably the most important member of gnr, sure slash is an amazing guitarist and has a great sound but izzys just as a good a player he just has a different style, and he played lead on many songs and no one knows it, he was the main writer, hes an amazing singer, guitarist, bass guitarist, pianist, drummer, cellist, and sitarist and slash just plays guitar i'm just saying he deserved WAY more credit than he got (btw he plays the intro on the record) :)

  • @MrFredhuggins198 okeeeey, sorry i just know that now man. one thing for izzy, his style is too cool for rock n roll band lol

  • @MrFredhuggins198 i'm completly agree with you!! he's so underrated!

  • do slash plays solos so insane he has to switch guitars

  • @EnglandBandsrule he doesnt switch guitars in this video. he just takes his shirt off

  • Rockin on heaven's door

  • axl`s voice is so fuckin powerfull!!

  • best rendition of knockin' on heavens' door. in all the studio, albums, covers, live versions. ever.

  • Slash's solo is a thing of beauty. This is so raw, dirty and raunchy. Makes me want to take a shower, love it!

  • damn damn i have this on vhs axle voice is ridiculous this is fuckin rock n roll how it should look ..how it should sound ...how it should make you feel.... GNR 

  • duff and steve keepin the beat are so awsome man

  • aaa se hace el canchero ajja 3:51

  • Greatest slash tone i ever heard !!

  • Please support new Rock music and check out an uprising band called "Morre"! let's keep rock n' roll alive people!!!

  • i haven't seen this in yrs!

  • So bad of 99% od the rappers and hiphop today they just sing about money and just say the same fkn word everytime and dont sing about something whats the problem with ppl today

  • 4 idiots motherfuckers...

  • axl rose rock

  • this is pure rock 100%

  • what a crazy voice from axl rose!

  • so far i like this!

  • This was the original video that played on MTV for this song.

    I consider it the definitive version. Far better than the tame, flattened version on Use Your Illusions.

    And Steve's snare drum is better than Matt's. 

  • Comment removed

  • @mindsaber I completely agree with you. Slash's leads, Duff's backing vocal, its the best......Slash's intro is so rich with with tone.... I do understand why they "anthemed out" the tune for UYI but still, this is the real deal.

  • @mindsaber Steve it's fantastic,but matt is also good player:D

  • One of my best friends has the same type of Gibson as Slash!

    Knock Knock Knocking on heavens door!!!! ohh yeah!

    FOREVER WITH GUNS 'N' ROSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • In '88 this band was probably the best band in the world ever. Did you listen to Axl?? Did you noticed any differences with today? I did...

  • 3:49 "I gotta take a piss"

  • Axl fucking rocked here, but sucked now. Where he stops the show so often..

  • @ryukenju Axl's a joke.

  • Axl Sings with balls, you wouldn't see somebody like the new bands sing with heart like he did.
