Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Report post Posted July 17, 2004 Layla from the MTV Unplugged CD. Oh and Journeyman by Iron Maiden for a chnage of pace. Their first all acoustic song ever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted July 17, 2004 I'm pretty biased here but I'll will only use one Caputo Keith Caputo-"New York City" Just about anything off the Clapton Unplugged Album would do...esp Layla and Tears. About a Girl-Nirvana is a personal favorite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Anticrombie Report post Posted July 17, 2004 While you are at it, check all the songs from Alice In Chains' Jar Of Flies and the Sap EP, you're likely to fall in love with most of the songs from that collection. Out of the 7 on Jar Of Flies, at least 5 are pure acoustic; and all 4 tracks on Sap are acoustic (excluding hidden track 5). "Poor Tom" and "Gallow's Pole" by Led Zeppelin "Something In The Way" and "Dumb" by Nirvana Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spiny norman 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2004 Rolling Stones - Wild Horses. I looooove that song. I second Nirvana - About A Girl. That is all for the moment. And I think I'm the only person in the history of man who does not like Tears In Heaven. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

godthedog 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2004 robert johnson - "32-20 blues". done deadpan, frightening lyrics. eric clapton - "running on faith" (unplugged). good slide guitar stuff, & clapton getting emotional is always good. tom petty - "don't fade on me". not a great SONG, but a perfect trebly-acoustic sound with the bare 12-string guitars & whatnot. neutral milk hotel - "two-headed boy". great imagistic lyrics. bob dylan - "it's all over now, baby blue" (live 1966 version). greater imagistic lyrics. velvet underground - "candy says". great nonimagistic lyrics, chilling sound. cowboy junkies - "sweet jane". very dreamy, especially the refrain. cat power - "satisfaction". sultry and disturbing delivery that completely changes the meaning of the song. i tried to give you some variety there, but i think i failed.

EdwardKnoxII 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2004 The acoustic verison of Plush by Stone Temple Pilots. It was so popular that it went on to become a hit on the radio. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Baron 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2004 I second Journeyman by Iron Maiden. Alice In Chains: I Stay Away, Nutshell, Heaven Beside You, Down In A Hole are done well acoustically. I'm pretty partial to One Thing by Finger Elven Also Scared by The Tragically Hip. Also Midsummer Day, The Messenger, and Pyschopomp by Tea Party are good choices.

Guest cobainwasmurdered Report post Posted July 18, 2004 I heard an acoustic version of "My Hero" by Dave Grohl that he did at a radiostation that was very tight. I think you can find it still on Kazaa at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2004 Black Label Society - "Another Spoke In The Wheel" Black Label Society - "America The Beautiful" (more or less just Zakk playing it, but it sounds GREAT) Black Label Society - "Blessed Hellride" Foo Fighters - "Times Like These" (acoustic version, I believe it's a WAAF exclusive) Shinedown - "Simple Man" (acoustic cover of Skynyrd's classic, also a WAAF exclusive, and one of the most heavily rotated songs) Acid Bath - "The Bones Of Baby Dolls" Acid Bath - "Scream Of The Butterfly" (at least I THINK it's all acoustic) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted July 18, 2004 Acid Bath - "The Bones Of Baby Dolls" Acid Bath - "Scream Of The Butterfly" (at least I THINK it's all acoustic) Heavens no. The bass is loaded with effects. Ditto with Dax's voice in Bones of Baby Dolls. They're not really mellow acoustic songs at all, although I've seen them classified as such a couple of times. They might use an acoustic guitar in them, but "Scream of the Butterfly" is a dismal descent through every lurking stinking horrible thought a person can have. As frigging awesome as Acid Bath is, that's not something to put on a cd with Stealer's Wheel. Maybe if you were making a cd of primarily acoustic songs by heavy metal bands, then yeah, they're the first and last tracks of the mix. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mw679 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2004 Shinedown - "Simple Man" (acoustic cover of Skynyrd's classic, also a WAAF exclusive, and one of the most heavily rotated songs) Seconded. Also, didn't they just add that to their re-issue? Not the AAF version, but I think they re-recorded it in a studio for the release. Also, if you can find anything from Aerosmith's 1990 Unplugged session on MTV, they do some great stuff on that one, a lot of their older stuff(Walking the Dog, One Way Street, Seasons of Wither, etc.).
