RonJonSurfer Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 none, but many unplugged songs would sound better juiced up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 none, but many unplugged songs would sound better juiced up. I was about to say the same...I can´t think of any unplugged version better than the electric one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhul Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 I think every version of each song on How The West Was Won is better than the originals. I'll say it again, Led Zeppelin sound better live!!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 I'm not a big Nirvana fan, but I like their unplugged album a lot. I also thought that "Wanted Dead or Alive" by Bon Jovi sounded better unplugged. I know it's not that "plugged" to begin with, but still......

Addictedtoclassic Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 "Things Goin' On" by Lynyrd Skynyrd sounds great unplugged. I actually like the acoustic version better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would miss the feedback laden solo too much on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 On a second thought, the acoustic songs of John Lennon are really beautifull... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earth-Angel Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Incubus are even better unplugged and live - wow! Nirvana are brilliant unplugged too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXX Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Travis's radio cover version of Britnay Spears's "Baby, One More Time" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvish Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 "Things Goin' On" by Lynyrd Skynyrd sounds great unplugged. I actually like the acoustic version better. Good one, Addicted! IMO, Guns N Roses' "You're Crazy" is better acoustic. Also, Stevie Ray Vaughan did a killer acoustic version of "Testify" that gives me chills. And depending on my mood, there are many Nirvana songs that I prefer the unplugged version. :guitar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrampledUnderFoot Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 I've never been a fan of any song "unplugged", but I have to say, Eric Clapton's "Unplugged" album is very good (I own it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXX Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 "Susanna" by The Art Company. It was only available "unplugged" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windy1 Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Depends on the song. Some songs just don't transfer well to an unplugged version. But when the right song is picked, it can sound excellent. I'm sure everyone can think of good and bad examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
