    Thank you. This song came on the radio as drove home alone in the dark after my husband passed from cancer at the hosp. He played guitar also and I still have all of his guitars years later. Love your version, and I know he would too.

    Excellent job. My wife could not listen to this song because her brother, a police officer, was killed at a young age and this was played at his funeral as he requested. She is now in Heaven too.

The significance to the song and the fact I sent it to her as she was literally fighting for her life after being in an awful wreck. Glad she was here to listen to it. A reminder of how fragile life is. Thank you kindly JJ.

    Interesting backstory connecting some dots. GnR toured with a band called Cold Chisel, who are legendary in Australia. Chisel did a fantastic cover of KOHD, which was no doubt the inspiration for the GnR cover. The Chisel singer, Jimmy Barnes, revered here in Australia still, had a solo career , and his main guitar player was Mark Lizotte, aka Johnny Diesel, and this guitar is his signature with the Oz company, Maton, so it's a really appropriate cover.
