I'm so thrilled that Stone has gone back to the electric beauty for "Black". I'm not sure how many years he played it with his acoustic, but when it's electric, I love the song that much more.

    acoustic just never has the same epic feel the electric does

    electric, without a doubt.

    It isn't that bad right? Electric is really nice on Black!

    I think that, for Stoney, a slooooow, but dynamic fingerpicking acoustic approach would be nice. That's actually quite difficult to pull off, if you're going for sustain, too.

    If Stone is going to strum it, while Mikey does the Curtis Mayfield/Jimi-type arpeggios during the vocal parts of the song, then the guitar work may as well be electric.

    just saw it played in Brisbane with an electric, and it was better - electric for sure

    Electric, Mike just gives the song sooo much more intensity and emotion wailing on the electric.
