Paul McCartney Left “amazed” By Guns N’Roses
Last month, Beatles icon Paul McCartney said that he was left amaze that Guns N’Roses covered his track ‘Live And Let Die’.
The track was originally a hit with McCartney in 1973 with Wings.
‘Live And Let Die’ was also written for the James Bond film of the same name, before being covered by Guns N’Roses nearly 20 years later, appearing in their album ‘Use Your Illusion I’ in 1991.
Such was the public admiration for Guns N’Roses’ version of the track, people often mistake it for one of their own, something which McCartney even takes as a compliment.
“I thought it was pretty good actually. I was more amazed that they would actually do it, this young American group”, McCartney said.
He also added, “The interesting thing was my kids would go to school and they would go, ‘My dad wrote that.’ They’d go, ‘No he didn’t, it was Guns N’ Roses,’ so nobody would ever believe them. For a while it was just Guns N’ Roses”.
He also added, “I was very happy that they had done it. I always like people doing my songs”.
