For serious? Or just trolling? I could see it going either way honestly.

I love Sammy myself. DLR could never top Sammy in Montrose.

I fucking hate ANY unplugged show. Fucking rock bands werent put on this planet to play weak ass folk music. I mean really. I dont know who's idea this unplugged BS was, but its dumb. Rock means Rock. not folk, not country, not blue grass. ROCK! dammit.

Alice in Chains unplugged was awesome.

I could never get into a VH unplugged, what's next, WASP unplugged with Blackie throwing freshly sliced $9.99/lb deli meat on the audience?

I wish somebody would unplug Bieber.

This video was definitely proof that Dave has just lost it. His shtick went way overboard around Skyscraper (telling Steve Vai to "think cold" while writing his leads? Oy...) and his voice went out the door. I give him credit for working with a vocal coach last tour, but...man, the old days are gone forever.

I'll buy the new album, but I'll put it this way: Last time I bought tickets as soon as they went on sale. I was in Philly on the third night of the tour. This time I forgot until Sunday night that tickets were on sale, I checked and saw nothing available and shrugged then went back to watching Breaking Bad.

"Not available in your country"

Well I don't know about all of the above mentioned stuff, but they sure look like they are having a blast! Or they are incredible actors. I've always been quite critical of Eddies acoustic playing, and he still looks pretty uncomfortable, but I think he sounded pretty good. Of course he tried pulling stuff off in a way you just can't do with those techniques but still I liked it.

[Soap]

You can see they are enjoying themselves BUT VH unplugged isn't good regardless who is at the mic.
Not sure exactly why that is for me but VH unplugged just doesn't work for me.
