Best Metal Songs Acoustic Style

Rattlehead_ie · 28-06-2009 10:12pm #1

Have been looking throught a lot of youtube recently and coming across covers and accoustic versions of songs by various artists over the years and I have to say metal songs when done right in an acoustic set "unplugged" are fantastic, just wanting to know what other opinions are

Alice in Chains - Nushell
Megadeth - A tout le Monde
G n R - Patience

Do you mean acoustic versions of metal tunes? Those songs you listed are more like ballads, with acoustic or clean parts in the original recordings.

I saw a clip of Testament playing Over the Wall I think it was, sounded pretty sweet, not sure if there is a full track release or anything. I managed to grab a couple of acoustic tracks by a mix of Metallica and other bands, The Four Horsemen sounds pretty cool with a country/blues feeling to it.

Annihilator - Crystal Ann
Anterior - Stirs of Echoes
Death - Voice of soul
In flames - acoustic medley, Pallers Anders visa.

I agree, when they are done right, they can be very effective and give a whole new angle to a song.

Here are a couple that I really like:

Deffinatly Safe Home by Anthrax, the acoustic version is deadly

Wouldnt be mad on the BFMV acoustic one one but they were absolutely brilliant when they played the Ambassador.

One of the best live metal gigs ive seen in a good while.

Unfortunately I felt like a grandad at the gig and im 26 cause of all the drunken 16 year olds...yuck

A fully acoustic version of "Revelations" by Iron Maiden would be class. Might try that actually *picks up guitar*

Worth checking out a Swedish band called Hellsongs. They do covers (like nothing you've probably ever heard before. They've called their style Lounge Metal.:p

Their best covers include: Seek and Destroy (Metallica), Breakin the Law (Judas Priest) and Run to the Hills (Iron Maiden)

I saw a band called Apocalyptica at a festival in Belgium a few years back - they did lots of this sorta stuff!
