SEPTEM Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 It would be magical. The greatest band on earth umolugged.. M. Jackson and Gnr gave mtv the " key push" to make mtv a solid thing worldwide. Since mtv is dead.. Could Guns n' Roses do it again? All my money points to: YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italian girl Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 MTV used to have great shows... What happened? Why did it turn to be so trashy? Not only in the Us... MTV UK, Italy, europe are bad as well! No more music.. Only silly reality shows... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume because early reality shows they aired got them a lot of money and so they kept going at it and before you know it the whole station is filled with that trash and there is no room for good substance shows to get on the air Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulMonster Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I remember wanting this back when MTV Unplugged was a big thing. Really disappointed it never happened. Yes, I would definitely want them to do it now. I think it would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trqster Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Axl's band has done an accousric show back in 2012 Bridge School (disaster). It's time to repeat the performance with Duff & Slash aboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LA_0013 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 To be honest, I hope not. GNR unplugged wouldn't do much for me. I don't really think Slash excels as an acoustic player. He certainly doesn't switch to an acoustic like a Clapton or a Page. And Axl's voice would need to carry the band a lot more given the lack of decibels. It would be cool, but nothing special.

3rd Wheel Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Something similar to Myles and Slash's acoustic show with just Axl and Slash would be pretty killer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OJones90 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 People shouldn't let the Bridge School performance be a reason not to do it. It was a bad day, just like any other gig. GNR unplugged is one thing I think the band has lacked over the years. Imagine how good it would have been back in the day, like the Nirvana one. I'm not saying it would be fantastic if they did it today, but I'd like to see it. Axl using a lower, softer voice mainly. Don't do Jungle, You Could Be Mine. There's some good acoustic versions online of Rocket Queen, Sweet Child so I'd like to see them do something like that. Obviously Patience. Yesterdays, Knockin On Heaven's Door would be good too. L'Arc performance of Nightrain, This I Love was amazing too and those was semi-unplugged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appetiteyourillusion Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 What would be the set list for this? Patience You're crazy You ain't the first Sweet child of mine Civil war Used to love her Knocking on heavens door November Rain What else? Don't think WTTJ Paradise or really any of the appetite stuff would sound great acoustically. Haven't really like it when it has been played unplugged. 2 hours ago, OJones90 said: People shouldn't let the Bridge School performance be a reason not to do it.

wasted Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 I think an electric acoustic Best of could sell pretty well. I think the Stones did an album called Stripped? It's definitely one cd they haven't done. But it does utilize Slash's riff power much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychoKiss344 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 I would love if Guns did an unplugged show, always wish they did! There is something about hearing the songs down to their core, plus who doesn't like hearing acoustic guitar solos? My favourite from back in the day has to be Kiss & Nirvana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Drama Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 If you want real magic this has to be done with Izzy and Steven. Fuckface Frank would just overpower everything (as would a UYI era Sorum if he were involved) and Izzy would just make the guitars work the way they should.

I think the acoustic November Rain was done in the 93 Hartford show. Buy the end of that tour it was still just Slash and Axl for most of the song but Slash was using his Les Paul with Acoustic effects. The best quality acoustic set from that tour is Argentina 7/16/93.. The Segue in and out of the set is amazing too. Awesome quality and probably my favorite Gn'R bootleg.. The intro to Brownstone is off the charts on this show too! That lineup had CHEMISTRY!! There are two Argentina shows out there but 7/16/93 is the one you want. Starts off dicey because of equipment issues. The even stop in the middle of Jungle because of them. But once resolved, WATCH OUT!! Bad ass Double Talkin Jive with Oh Well and Train Kept A Rollin medley during the intro and small Roadhouse Blues snippet with vocals at the end. Dead Flowers (Stones Cover) You Ain't The First You're Crazy (with awesome intro jam.. Hendrix Sample and maybe fame (fame could have been later in the show) Used To Love Her Patience KOHD November Rain Dead Horse Amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
