G n' R: "Civil War"
Dylan: "Knocking on Heaven's Door" (which GnR covered, right? Did they do that on purpose or were they fucking stupid?)
Both use a I-V-VI chord change with the same rhythm.
Try singing it:
"I don't need your heaven's door. (hey hey yeah yeah yeah)"
And "war" sounds like "door!"
Again, purposeful or stupid?
There's a fine line between homage and theft.
