I disagree entirely. I dont' think guns 'n' roses really "got" dylan's version, and anyone who says their version is better probably doesn't either. it's supposed to be about an exhausted, probably failed, cop, not another sway-to-the-beat-with-our-lighters ballad.

Not to mention Axl's nasally "HAY HAY HAYHAY YEAH!" before he screeches the chorus. Ugh.

you have to have a special kind of voice to do "long black veil" justice, and don't think i'd care to hear DMB perform it
