message: Bon Jovi did a cover a few years back for one tour, though only an 'unplugged' version seems to have been recorded. Should be added anyway?
:He recorded an electric version as well..one of the more obnoxious renditions of all time..no one ever got this song right after Dylan and Booker T laid it down the 1st time..the same way Hendrix mastered Watchtower..I suppose this is why it`s listed as a hard rock song in the info box. 24.240.171.194 (talk) 04:12, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

message: I do not want to remove it becuase i am really not sure but i have not been able to find anything about U2 doing this song? I even checked the iTunes Music Store's Complete U2. Can anyone confirm or deny this
:They've never recorded it, only played it a couple of times live - including a few performances following 9/11. See here. --84.186.59.150 13:47, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Did Dylan ever mention what he thought of their version? Just wondering, since so many people argue over which version is better? Everytime 13:08, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

message: What on earth is this assertion, sans reference, doing here?  If Dylan himself ever claimed such an absurd thing, it at the very least needs documentation and most likely simply doesn't belong in the article, since such a claim is utterly unsupported by the lyrics.  I smell spam. MIchael 07:02, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

message: it seems like the song is talking about 9/11. it says "i can't use my guns anymore" like the terrorists won the fight and it says "that dark cloud is coming down" like when the towers fell a dark cloud formed. is it about  9/11?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by LJRox (talk • contribs) 13:32, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Do we really need the trivia section, with its one fact? It doesn't really inform the article at all, and if we took it out, we wouldn't need that ugly "trivia sections are discouraged" box. Just a thought... Samboha 01:06, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Covers by Guns n' Roses, Eric Clapton?... and April Lavigne!!?
This Dylan´s song features prominently in one of the most moving sequences in all western films history: Old sheriff Colin Baker, sitting peacefully and looking in the distance while dying from his wounds, with Mrs Baker crying and "smiling" by his side - unforgettables Slim Pickens and Katy Jurado -.
If you want the meaning of this song, watch the film, it´s worth it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by RuZamp (talk • contribs) 16:46, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

message: Tracy Chapman has a very moving live cover of this song on YouTube.
PS I have no idea how this works. Just thought Tracy Chapman should be included in the covers section

message: "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" is essentially the same song as "Wait a Minute" (recorded by Seldom Scene on their album Old Train) with a different lyric. I'm not sure which song came first, but given Robert Zimmerman's prodigious propensity for plagiarism it seems to me the matter bears looking into. TheScotch (talk) 09:32, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
