    Actually it makes perfect sense....forgettable band = forgettable Unplugged

    You may not like AIC, but love them or hate them, they are unforgettable.
    Is it so wrong to think that love can keep us safe?

    Alice in Chains and Stone Temple Pilots = best unplugged shows ever. Nirvana was good, but against those 2, no competition.

    Sorry, didn't mean to steal your thread, I have just been listening to a lot of AIC lately and thought it would make a good discussion.

    Just checked, I didn't post there. Damn, I'd be a complete burn out if I posted to yours and then started the same damn thread a few months later.

    Alice by a long shot. I think it's the best Unplugged ever IMO. Nirvana's was overrated unoriginal crap. Why people love Nirvana I will never get. SUre some of their songs were catchy but damn they didn't have any replay value. I can still sit down with friends and listen to any AiC CD front to back without a problem.

    Oh and in the words of Jerry Cantrell:

    "But Kurt Cobain was such a shitty guitarist"

    Sorry had to do it....lol.

    Nirvana's was great but I think Alice had the best unplugged in the program's existence.

    As i've said before, I LOVE Nirvana,.. but what's interesting about their unplugged..

    To me,.. The highlights were the Meatpuppets songs, the Ledbelly cover, and the Bowie cover. So the covers dominated the performance in my opinion... Not that the originals were bad (Pennyroyal Tea in particular was beautiful), but that's always kind of knocked the performance down a notch for me.

    Nirvana, because truthfully I have problems getting through the whole AIC one, we played it at work and by the end I was like OK time to move on, this was during over now too, I didn't even make it thourgh the whole record. I really like AIC and the first half of that unplugged is killer but after frogs (I think) I'm done with it.

    I like Nirvana very much, but I guess compared to the mindless heavy metal shredding of Cantrell, Kurt's playing paled in comparison.

    If thats what you want, go ahead and enjoy it assholes.

    And incidentally, I like Chains. I'm just so sick of hearing about how they blow Nirvana away.

    I have some news for you. THEY DON'T.

    Alice, Nirvana, PJ and Soundgarden are all sort of similar, so a lot of people are big fans of all, some, one of the bands. My upstairs neighbor is a huge fan of Soundgarden, Nirvana and Alice in Chains so I asked him if he liked Pearl Jam. he said "not really" and I was surprised. he said "I was into the jeremy spoke in class stuff in high school like everyone else was but i dont really listen to them." holds true with all four of these bands. maybe the huge Nirvana fan in high school kinda fazed them out after college or the Soundgarden Black Hole Sun fan has moved on to more alternative type stuff like Smashing Pumpkins. the hardcore fans are always there but it all varies after that.

    all four have varying appeals though. Early Soundgarden and most Alice appeals to metal fans while Pearl Jam and Nirvana fall more into the 90's alternative stuff. I'm sure more girls listen to Pearl Jam than do Alice In Chains. and I'm sure fans of popular music have more Nirvana on their Ipod than they do Soundgarden. all four have their place. I'm lucky enought to like them all that's like, a ton of good tunes to listen to

    Both unpluggeds are great, but i prefer the nirvana one... why, maybe because nirvana never had worked acoustically speaking in studio,this experience was something almost new for them and that´s why they surprised us.... AIC previously had worked in acoustic, SAP and Jar of flyes, are albums full of acoustic guitars...

    also nivana covers are a big factor of why many people prefer nirvana un plugged over AIC un...
