Title: VR Unplugged
Post by: tippasaurus on September 10, 2005, 04:11:28 PM
I was listening to "Slither" unplugged today and I was thinking, MTV revived "Unplugged" for Alicia Keys, why not VR?  (I know, I know...no one will watch watch anything rock oriented on MTV, but perhaps VH1 since it's owned by MTV anyways).   So what do you think would be a good unplugged setlist?  ...and be sure to consider what VR would be likely to play, suffice to say they won't play "Estranged" or something like that.

Here's what I'd like to see (realistically):

1.   Set Me Free
2.   Angie (Rolling Stones cover)
3.   Voices (Cheap Trick cover)
4.   Loving the Alien
5.   Come In, Come On
6.   Tears in Heaven (Clapton cover) --- kinda obvious selection, but they've done it before so...I could see it again. 
7.   Headspace
8.   Fall To Pieces
9.   Sex Type Thing (STP cover)
10. Wish You Were Here (Pink Floyd cover)
11. You Got No Right
12. Mr. Brownstone (Gn'R cover)
13. Slither

I figure VH1 or MTV would only air maybe 5 of those out of this entire set, but it'd be cool if VR would do a mini acoustic club tour w/ a similar set like this.

I'm hoping they do this after the release of the 2nd album so there's more material to choose from. However, Mr. Brownstone MUST be included if this ever happens. An official release of the set, if it were to occur,  would be nice as well.

Interstate Love Song and Used to Love Her also? : ok:

I think they would stick to songs they wrote together. They would probably catch some flak for doing songs that Gn'R and STP originally did. Kinda like they are haning onto the past a little bit.

Seeing these songs played live is awsome, but on tv...

Mr. Brownstone unplugged? Unlikely, but it would be really cool if they do it.  : ok:

GN'R played the acoustic version of Mr. Brownstone.

BTW Interstate Love Song was so great on the KOOQ that they should play it more often.

Mr. Brownstone was written by Izzy as an acoustic song. GNR then played a classic version of Mr Brownstone unplugged at some radio party back in the day. So, why would it be so strange for VR to include it in an unplugged performance, considering it seems to be the GNR song they've adopted into their set (along with ISE).

I was thinking of some of the classic Unplugged shows w/ Nirvana and Eric Clapton, both of which did quite a few covers.

I think it would be fucking awesome but not yet.. They definately need some more material.. I think alot of their songs would transfer over to acoustic very nice. Slither sure did... Then they could do a Gn'R and STP tune and maybe a Zeppelin or Aerosmith song or something.

I THINK that's the same performance they first did One in a Million and an early version of Patience at...along with Move to the City, I think. Or am I way off?

The acoustic version of 'Interstate Love Song' is killer. Always liked that song. The version of 'Used To Love Her' ffrom the same radio show is pretty good to , if you listen close enough Duff fucks up the words near the end, kinda funny. I really didn't like the acoustic version of 'Slither' all that much. I would like to hear them do an all acoustic version of LTA, that would be damn good. I really didnt appreciate that song much after the album was released but it maybe my favorite song off Contraband at the moment.

They should play, songs that can be translated to the unplugged without harming their integrity, I would not like to  listen to a Set me free unplugged version, or  even a slither version,  maybe the softer ones,  and maybe 2 or 3 original songs.. :P

Another obvious but good choice would be Dead Flowers.

If they do covers I want them to play new ones, I mean not the same songs they covered in GN'R.
