Young_Gun Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Stripped down and intimate, just like the old Mtv unplugged days. Which songs you guys think would translate well onto acoustic? For me it would be:Madagascar(big potential here, especially from Axl, the outro would be amazing)BetterITWPossibly TWAT although it would have to be reworked for acousticSorryProstituteSODCatcher!!TIL is way too piano orientated to be translated to acoustic, it would be a totally different song. Chinese Democracy is too upbeat and grungy, although it could still be rocking. The other songs(scraped, Riad, Shacklers, IRS etc) though I don't think would work. What do you guys think?

Young_Gun Posted July 30, 2011 Author Share Posted July 30, 2011 ^^^^^Really cool. I would even go further and remove the piano/synth and just have two guitarists, bass and drums. Full stripped down. Would be awesome to see the whole album "acoustified" on a studio release... drools... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewbacca Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 (edited) I think that IRS has potential as an acoustic song. Edited July 30, 2011 by Chewbacca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuddMckagan Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I'd love to hear TWAT done acoustically, just for the sake of interest. It would probably have to be reworked a little though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
