ElvishSpirit Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Keep in mind a few things - - MTV Unplugged ranges from 12-15 songs, not around 25, like a standard LP concert. Lets say the max is 20. AT MOST. - While you may just pick your favorite songs, keep in mind how a song would sound acousticly. I'm sure a song like Little Things Give You Away would sound much better acousticly then, say, A Place For My Head. But, in complete contrast to what I said, don't pick all soft songs that would sound the same acousticly, every artist that appears on MTV Unplugged have a few reworked songs. - (optional) some MTV Unplugged performances feature a guest artist. Nirvana featured The Meat Puppets, Korn featured Amy Lee and The Cure, and so on. So think of a guest artist they would have. Most likely someone they have worked with before, such as Jay-Z, Chris Cornell, Aaron Lewis, or maybe even Dead By Sunrise. - (optional) choose a song order! - Most artists actually DON'T played a setlist full of their greatest hits. Some may play some, but there are usually a few songs more a regular fan know then just someone who tuned in. Nirvana, for example, played only 1 "hit", Come As You Are. Alice In Chains performed a few hits like "Down In A Hole" and "Would?" but also played a few not-so-popular songs. - Linkin Park DID play a couple acoustic songs at KRAQ Almost Acoustic 2001, Crawling, In The End, Pushing Me Away, and My December. So incase you can't think of anymore... andddddd....that its! Go for it! I'll have mine up after some deep thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraDoN Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 i dont think they should do an unplugged session. They rely heavily on electronic instruments for the most part. Joe will have o play XBOX.. oh wait thats unplugged too. They only have like 5 songs that they can do without heavy changes and when they play my december its that new piano crap version, so i vote NO to unplugged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElvishSpirit Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 and besides, that is the POINT of MTV Unplugged. Neither Nirvana or Korn are acoustic bands, at all. And yet, they did it, and they did a pretty good job. Not to mention I'm sure Joe would still be able to use his DJing stuff, unless he has a hidden talent under his sleeve. Just in a different manner. anyways, here is what I thought of - (no order) Hunger Strike (Feat Chris Cornell) Crawling (Feat Chris Cornell) Pushing Me Away Numb My December Breaking The Habit The Messenger Iridescent Easier To Run Shadow Of The Day Leave Out All The Rest Waiting For The End From The Inside Somewhere I Belong Little Things Give You Away Not Alone There, I don't think any of them are too big of stretchs.

My December (piano version) 15. Iridescent I included a couple of covers since it's supposed to be a special performance. When They Come For Me was included because I could see them doing a really cool percussion-based version of that song. The songs broadcast for TV would be: 1. Waiting For the End 2. The Radiance (piano version) 3. Burning in the Skies 4. When They Come For Me 5. The Messenger 6. Iridescent I chose these since it's the ATS touring cycle.

Bands that do Unplugged tend to do some unexpected stuff, so I think it would be a good time to break out that "stripped down" version of Robot Boy they've mentioned as a potential live option in the past, and bring back a few oldies (Nobody's Listening is the big one, I've always felt that a tribal-sounding acoustic version of that song would sound REALLY good).

leftshoe18 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I would cry for joy if they started playing Just Like Heaven Mike used to play a part of it after Numb. It's essentially the first verse being sung over the Numb piano outro. That's the version that's in my setlist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 what about Figure.09 also? I say no to this. Why? Because there is that one song people always want on an LP set and they don't get, so in this case, that song will be Figure.09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FearOfTheDuck Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Plus Figure.09 would sound fricken' bizarre as an acoustic song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JZLP-NaughtyNottingham Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 They will do this at some point of their career, it would be really interesting Im sure that they will have strings for almost every song, i would love to hear TLTGA!

Xero21 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 In no particular order: (full band/multiple instruments) Crawling In The End Leave Out All The Rest The Messenger Numb Robot Boy Rolling In The Deep We Used To Wait (Arcade Fire cover) What I've Done Hands Held High (piano versions) Pushing Me Away My December Breaking The Habit Iridescent I know both Chester and Mike really like Arcade Fire, and their music is perfect for Unplugged sessions. Stripped down version of Robot Boy. The Piano version of Iridescent that Mike seemed very excited to do in that one LPTV episode. Hands Held High would be an interesting one. There's two ways they could go about doing it. A more full band version, with guitar, drums, etc. Or, a piano version. Mike's delivery on the raps could sound really great and powerful, almost like spoken word poetry. Hell, maybe even forget the piano and let Mike perform it solo.
