“Hair of the Dog” by Guns N’ Roses
“Hair of the Dog” enters the room with a rock swagger that’s hard to ignore. This is a cover from Nazareth’s 1975 album of the same name. Axl’s voice digs into that gravelly, raspy place that he does so well, and it fits perfectly with the defiant, tough-guy essence of the song.
The chorus, with its cheerfully delivered, cheeky lyrics, just has that sticky quality that stays in your head for days. The guitars are grungy and raw, and they bring a hearty dose of rebellious rock ‘n’ roll to the track. It’s like an homage to the old-school rock vibe.
