COVER REVIEW #19 | Sympathy for the Devil

ORIGINAL: the Rolling Stones, featured in their album Beggars Banquet (1968)

COVER: Guns N' Roses, featured in the soundtrack for Neil Jordan's film adaptation of Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire (1994)

"Keith [Richards of the Rolling Stones]'s playing is so awesome on that song that I didn't want to even come near it, but I did. And doing so left me feeling even more pissed and put out than ever. ... If you've ever wondered what the sound of a band breaking up sounds like, listen to Guns N' Roses' cover... If there is one... track I'd like to never hear again, it's that one." (Slash in his memoir, Slash, by Anthony Bozza, 2007)
