Wred, I assume you're not a James Bond fan. "Live and Let Die" was the theme-song to the film of the same name, originally performed by Paul McCartney & Wings, making the G. 'n' R. version the cover. (The fact that they'd cover a Wings song would sink them even lower in my estimation, were such a thing possible.)
Wred:
I actually am a James bond fan, but was told by a formerly reliable source that GNR was the original. Said source has now been axed out of my embarassment
Live and Let Die is the ONLY Bond film I haven't seen
Edit: Also, you're right about the whole GNR covering Paul thing, not something I would have thought likely
