It must be divine providence that brought about the inception of this thread because I just recently got my hands on some old Unplugged CDs! The Nirvana set was the hallmark, but there were some other great sets too: R.E.M. and Live to name two.
I had the misfortune to tune into MTV when I was on holiday recently, and I couldn't believe the amount of crap on it. Admittedly, I wasn't expecting it to be good, but I was just surprised by the utter banality of it all. Stupid adverts made by twenty-somethings with severe cases of ADD, shows about people choosing dates based on someone's bedroom, VJs who I wanted to beat with a stick, and 'bands' with people in their late-twenties singing about crushes on girls in high-school! Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Have you heard the AIC session? In my opinion it is better than the Nirvana record.

Why do they not have MTV Unplugged anymore? I mean, I understand that Rap is the most played genre of music now, but there are still rockers in the world, and I really like when bands do acoustic sets. BRING IT BACK!
They won't because:
Playing music or anything related is not their M.O anymore
Vh1 too.
Remember:
Headbangersball
Unplugged
Diary
Making the video
Behind the music
Video music awards
Vh1 music awards
.....and a bizillion specials of bands playing like somewhere in a club or some big event, or watching them in the studio.
If you don't because it got pushed off to make room for:
Made
Celebrity fit club
Date my mom
Flavor of love
Pimp my ride
Laguna Beach
Room Raiders
The closest we get is Cribs, and the surreal life.
I remember when people bitched about rap only being on, now we can't hear one fukcking note
well, unplugged pretty much topped with cypress hill, paul mccartney, hole, and nirvana. I can't thing of a single band right now who'd i want to hear doing an unplugged set.
If you really wanna hear a fantastic one tho (not an MTV one), i have a link to a website where you can download an amazing set that garbage played unplugged

What website?
And Incubus should do an unplugged. Chili peppers should do one. Hell I think Metallica should do one. Be cool if tool did one. U2 should do one. maybe the deftones too. Just because its not plugged in doesn't mean it can't be heavy.
Originally posted by mysterio69I've still got that on VHS and still watch it. Pearl Jam ruled the world back then. Can anyone remember Kiss doing an unplugged show? Jesus. Actually Metallica are the only band I can think of right now who would suit an unplugged show as obviously a lot of their stuff is classical guitar based. Though the Stones would be interesting (If you paid them 90 bzillion dollars each) and Page and Plant would be great to see.
pearl jams was good. it was back when eddie was drunkard.drunk
