I still always will pick the Alice In Chains album, but if I’m ever in the mood to listen to Nirvana I always pick the unplugged. The version of “Pennyroyal Tea” is haunting as well as the closing song of Leadbelly’s “Where Did You Sleep Last Night” with that scream at the end, which still sends me chills when I hear it.īoth albums are great in their own right. comments sorted by Best Top New Controversial Q&A Add a Comment. The set list they chose was great as well. Rating: 4.8 / 5 (525) Key: A Tuning: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb Difficulty. Why on the MTV Unplugged Alice in Chains needed lyrics When they didn’t use them at other lives. Their cover of David Bowie’s “The Man Who Sold The World,” is one of my favorite covers ever and one of the best covers of all time. I love the fact that they did what they wanted to do and played what they wanted as well. I wouldn’t go as far as saying it’s the best of the series, but I will say it is the best thing that Nirvana ever did. The album 'Alice In Chains: MTV Unplugged' is a magical, special, exciting, and different album from most of the other albums we have reviewed. This song just sounds like Alice in Chains to me. 'Alice In Chains' 'MTV Unplugged' show which took place on April 10th of that year. That is about all I can say for this song. The Nirvana unplugged album has been hailed as the best of the series. Prepare the handkerchiefs because this is going to be a review of one of the most exciting and tear-dropping albums we know. Opening with “Nutshell” was outstanding and closing with a new song “Killer Is Me,” was another great choice. The set list they chose for the night was perfect and each song brilliantly executed. Granted Layne was high as a kite during the filming, he was pretty much spot on throughout (though he did flub up the beginning of “Sludge Factory”). Original Alice in Chains frontman Layne Staley passed away 15 years ago today, his demise sadly coming as no great surprise to those who knew him or had followed his career. Layne even jokes during the show that this is the best show they’ve played in a few years to which Jerry Cantrell replies Yeah it’s the only show we’ve played in a few years. When the band went in to perform this, it had been quite a few years since Alice had last performed live. The Alice In Chains unplugged album to me is my favorite. It was the first EP to debut at 1 on the Billboard 200, and was the penultimate studio recording with Staley and AIC, as the band started to fracture and Staleys heroin addiction began to destroy his life.
2.0.Since 2009, MTV Unplugged specials have aired occasionally, sometimes online only.
#AIC MTV UNPLUGGED SHOW SERIES#
This is one of those debates that is really hard to pick one. MTV Unplugged is an American television series on MTV showcasing musical artists usually playing acoustic instruments.The show aired regularly from 1989 to 1999 and less frequently from 2000 to 2009, when it was usually billed as MTV Unplugged No. The voices of Layne Staley and Kurt Cobain are without a doubt, pure, honest and as real as real can be. Alice In Chains and Nirvana were so different from each other musically, yet were able to reach the same generation. Down in a hole unplugged is probably top 5 favorite Staley Era AIC songs. Down in a hole, but really the entire set is pretty much perfect.
They each possess something great and powerful. Down in a hole, fucking love when layne hits that first my wings have been so denied and Jerry gets that big ol smile on his face like were back baby. Again, it's a case of an Unplugged album that is designed to attract the band's core audience, which makes it a fairly entertaining effort that is essentially just an official bootleg.Both of these albums are amazing. The acoustic arrangements of the harder songs sound like novelties, and the rest sound like rehashes of their previous work, only without much energy.
#AIC MTV UNPLUGGED SHOW PROFESSIONAL#
During the concert, Alice in Chains drew from their three albums and two EPs, offering new, more reflective arrangements for harder songs like "Would?" and virtually re-creating the original versions of "Got Me Wrong" and "No Excuses." Throughout the album, the group sounds tight and professional - on the basis of this performance, it's hard to believe that they hadn't played together for nearly three years - but it doesn't offer anything that the albums don't already. There's a variety of reasons for their inactivity - primarily it's due to the health of certain members - but the lack of concerts made the Unplugged performance seem special. Between the end of 1993 and a performance for MTV Unplugged in the spring of 1996, Alice in Chains performed no concerts - they didn't even support the release of their eponymous third album with a minor tour.
