Good Acoustic Versions

[Benji]

I'm really enjoying acoustic versions of peoples songs, I'm not talking covers, I mean just acoustic versions of an artists songs sung by the same artist to a new tempo and the such. So with that, I politely request you all give me some good ones so I may promptly find and devour them.

Errrm... Have you listened to 3 Doors Down's acoustic version of Here Without You? I like it better than the original... and it's the only one that comes to mind right about now. I'll post more if I remember.

Fade To Black sounded pretty wicked when they played it acoustically.

[Ash J. Williams]

Incubus doing Stellar and Love Hurts acoustic is great...as is Offspring's acoustic versions of Dirty Magic and Defy You.

Foo Fighters have some kick ass acoustic versions of their songs. Everlong is amazing acoustic.

Curt Kirkwood has done a great acoustic version of the Meat Puppets "Severed Goddess Hand"

Strung Out have done acoustic versions of "Velvet Alley" and "Angeldust". There are two versions of both doing the rounds (both Velvet Alleys are off of "Punk Goes Acoustic, but one is the 'demo' or something, and sounds wank...and one Angeldust is from a radio show, and another is going to be on some compilation and was recorded backstage at the Warped Tour I believe)...I've only heard the radio version of Angeldust.

A Wilhelm Scream have done an acoustic version of "Me vs Morrissey in the Pretentiousness Contest (The Ladder Match)", which is okay. You can hear it here -

. I've heard another version, which has the start in it, and was actually done at a gig. Edited December 26, 2006 by Steve Mandela

One of the best gigs I've ever been too, that was. Just a really fun time.

Chris Cornell did a nice acoustic live in Sweden CD in general...as well as covering a nice bluesy "Billie Jean". I highly recommend it.

A few MTV Unplugged performances that stand out in my mind:

Alice In Chains - Would - good performance, but Layne was clearly high while performing and looked like shit.

LL Cool J -Mama Said Knock You Out - Awesome hearing a rap being performed with live musicians, and I like it better than the recorded version

KISS - Beth

Foo Fighters - My Hero acoustic version is one of my fav songs of all time

[Draevyn]

Godsmack and Shinedown have some amazing acoustic stuff. I love Shinedown's Burning Bright in acoustic.

Edit: Forgot to mention Nickelback's Leader Of Men

Seconded, awesome acoustic version.

I know it sounds obvious, but check out the Unplugged Series. A lot of bands/artists did one, so you should find some good stuff.
