John Mayer performs a superb acoustic version of Neon, live at the Soundstage in 2005. Check out the killer solo in the middle of the song. If you happen to be unfamiliar with John Mayer’s stuff, check out his albums! Neon is from Room For Squares, but he has several other great albums with a ton of great acoustic music. If you’re hanfin’ around, check out the older post a guy doing a pretty cool cover of Waiting On The World To Change (an acoustic version of course!)!

Tenacious D Tribute To The Best Song In The World

admin — Thu, 22 May 2008 07:06:57 +0000

A Tenacious D tribute to the best song in the world! If only they had remembered the best song in the world and recorded an acoustic version. If you are a rock fan with even a mild sense of humor, it’d be near impossible not to enjoy this tune. They couldn’t have only been trying to be funny, because Tribute by tenacious D turned out to be a pretty cool rock song. (ok, this isn’t a 100% acoustic version, but Dave Grohl is playing drums with Tenacious D so it seemed like a good choice. Don’t throw tomatoes!)

Shinedown’s Acoustic Cover Of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Simple Man

admin — Thu, 22 May 2008 05:37:03 +0000

Shinedown recorded an acoustic version of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s song, Simple Man, and released it on their 2003 album entitled Leave A Whisper. They also released a video for the acoustic version of the cover and it spread like wildfire. Lead singer, Brent Smith shines (no pun intended) on this one with his emotonal release and powerful pipes. After his friend, Dimebag Darrell died in 2004, the song was often dedicated to Darrell as a tribute to his life as it is here in the live video performance.

Alice In Chains Performs Down In A Hole Unplugged

admin — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 05:35:38 +0000

Alice in Chains performs an acoustic version of Down in a Hole on MTV Unplugged. At the time, this was the band’s first performance in approx 3 years and ultimately became an extremely popular show. Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell are a killer duo when it comes to vocal harmonies and it’s magnified tenfold when heard on acoustic songs. Although the band still tours and puts on great shows with their new singer, music fans will always miss Layne Staley.

Acoustic Version Of Metallica’s Enter Sandman

admin — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 19:07:20 +0000

Everybody’s heard Metallica’s Enter Sandman right? No you haven’t. Not like this, anyway! James Munroe does a really unique, acoustic version of Enter Sandman. It’s entertaining when someone does a good acoustic version of a song they like, but it’s extra cool when you get to hear an artist turn a song into their own style. James even goes as far as changing the vocal melody a bit, but not so much that you can’t still sing along! Enjoy yourself! Eeeexiiit Liiight!

You’ve probably heard the young alterna-pop band, The Plain White T’s, as their single has soared to the top or near the top of most radio charts and it definitely doesn’t lack airplay. You’ll probably be hearing a lot more from these popular kids in the future.
Here, Alx does a great job covering Hey There Delilah on his acoustic through a great sounding set up!

Chris Isaak’s Wicked Game Cover

Three Days Grace is seen here doing their Stripped acoustic cover version of Chris Isaak’s Wicked Game. I’m not sure how I feel about this singer’s voice doing Wicked Game, but it’s a decent cover and if you’re a fan of Three Days Grace or that type of grungy vocal, then you’ll no doubt love this version!

Seether Is Broken Without Amy Lee

admin — Thu, 26 Jul 2007 19:57:08 +0000

Seether is playing a live, acoustic version of their hit Broken. Apparently, the singer and Amy Lee had broken up on bad terms, but I’m pretty sure that’s not the reason she’s not present. It does make you wonder if the Evanescence song Sober was about him though, doesn’t it? Maybe you already know that, but I try to stay out of the celebrity gossip loop. Just enjoy the music, whatever the reason it was written.

Staind Everything Changes Acoustic Performance

admin — Wed, 25 Jul 2007 19:26:04 +0000

There’s no doubt that this band are masters at writing power ballads that can turn on thousands of lighters on a nightly basis. Here is a live performance of Staind doing an acoustic performance of Everything Changes, and the smell of butane is most likely in the air. Aaron Lewis projects his unmistakable vocals, as usual, and looks like he’s enjoying himself while he depresses us.
