The greatest ever “version” of Guns N’ Roses’ “Sweet Child o’ Mine”, period
April 20th, 2008This has been around for quite some time, but I stumbled upon it on youtube while looking for a video of that fabled Yehudi Menuhin – Ravi Shankar collaboration: when the greatest violinist of the 20th century played with the leading Indian musician of the modern era.
This is undisputably one of hard rock’s greatest ever songs, which means it’s severely overplayed, and even classic songs get on one’s nerves after non-stop listening. There have been many covers but none could hold a candle to the original.
Until several nights ago when I saw this, apparently just an ad on Channel V, but still I’m wondering: is there a full length version of this?

cool man…
there is one album… i think it is called Classical Rock… it has 3 volumes if not mistaken… the rocks songs from the 80s and 90s were played by London Orchestra I think… it was in the cassette… wonder if there is a CD version of it.
Ah..GNR, the music I grew up to..
it has always been interesting listening to something different
this kind of touch reminds me the performers that represented Malaysia during the Rainforest World Music Festival few months ago, its a group named Akasha.. they use all these local traditional instrument like sitar, tabla, violin…etc and jammed the Michael Jacksons “Beat It” track! god damn they fire up the whole crowd! due to overflow adrenaline and overdose excitement, i forgot to record a video of the whole performance.. arghhh!!!!
Amazing! Now I wonder whether someone did record it and uploaded to youtube…
Update: wow, apparently there are at least 3 videos of that performance on youtube !
