I don't know, man. Some songs just ain't that good in acoustic as they were in their original version. But there are exceptions. I'm curious about how's this turn out...

I'd rather they record something new ... is this for a B-side or something?

Im assuming anything new they record will be saved for an album...

Not sure where this song will surface, but it sounds good.

I'm sure they'll re-release Contraband in April or so with one bonus track: Fall To Pieces (Acoustic).

Actually, they could probably release a version of Contraband in March as well with Tears in Heaven as a bonus track.

There are some good songs on Contraband but "Fall To Pieces" ain't one of 'em. 

So why make an acoustic version of it? 

Then again, the acoustic version of "You're Crazy" is superior to the original, so ya never know.

You're Crazy was originally written in acoustic but they made a new version to fit AFD. Maybe even FTP was written as an acoustic, who knows?

As far as I remmember Slash said in some interview that he wrote it on acoustic guitar as acoustic song... I just love acoustic versions... this will rock!

I seem to recall that aslo and I love acoustic shit too. The acoustic side of Lies still blows me away to this day...Not to mention the acoustic "Slither" that is the balls too.

A friend of mine once met Deep Purple at a bar, and they said to him:

"If a song can't be played acoustically, then it shouldn't be written."

Of course, I'd like to hear them try to do an acoustic version of Perfect STrangers... but you get the point.

[Jizzo]

slither is way cool as an acoustic, and im sure this will rock too

I remember him saying that he wrote FTP on an acoustic too.. which means I find this very amusing:

Slash:"the tune 'You Got No Right' is played on a Takamine [it's actually a Taylor cutaway, says guitar tech Adam Day] recorded via microphone and pickup. Just to make it sound more electric. That was the only song I wrote on acoustic." (Total Guitar, April 2004)
