Young Talent Shines in Terrific Cover of Bob Dylan's 'Knocking on Heaven's Door'

Young talent shines in a terrific cover of Bob Dylan’s ‘Knocking on Heaven’s Door.’ In a world where young talent often surprises us, this song is no different. You’ll be blown away when you realize these kids aren’t even in high school yet. They were filmed in a basement, where old odds and ends were pushed aside to make room for the band. Together the crew set up a drumset, a place for the bass guitarist and electric piano. 

What happens next? Well, it’s like most bands, they get together to practice and play cover songs until they’re confident enough to share with the world. And even then, I can guarantee their boots were quaking and knees were shaking. But they had some pretty big shoes to fill as they sang their own rendition of Bob Dylan’s song ‘Knocking on Heaven’s Door.’ It was released in 1973 for the film Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. It became a worldwide hit. 

It wasn’t until the 1980s when the song became a hit again when Guns N’ Roses picked up the song. It became the symbol of rock and roll. A few other musicians, like Eric Clapton and Randy Crawford picked up the song too. But none were nearly as popular as the rock band Guns N’ Roses. You can watch these kids perform their impressive version of the song as they sing the famous opening lines: 

‘Mama take this badge from me

I can't use it anymore

It's getting dark too dark to see

Feels like I'm knockin' on Heaven's door’

All four kids nailed their individual parts of the song, and it couldn’t be a better rendition. It’s so refreshing to see young musicians appreciate the beauty of music instead of playing video games. Let’s hope and pray that play practice doesn’t drive their parents crazy, and they continue to showcase their incredible talent.
