    	I just found out today that it was Nirvana doing that song.
    	Is this a Kurt song, or post-Kurt?

    	even realize it.  8^)]

    re: .1
    
    Me thinks it's pre-death. AAF said it's part of an unplugged cd that
    was sold last year ??? It was done in a club, you can hear the clapping
    in the back round once the song is done.
    
    Great sound though, do we agree on this one GTI?  Don't forget that
    Eric did start this unplug stuff.

    	Did you ever consider why these artists are doing all of these
    	"unplugged" concerts?
    
    	Because of all the studio effects used on the albums.  They
    	can't possibly recreate them all and get them to sound good
    	live, so they say "Well, we'll do an acoustic set so we can
    	disguise the fact that 17 processors, all at least as big as
    	a PDP-11 but with only 1/2 the signal delay [8^)] were used
    	to record the album [to try and get as natural a sound as
    	possible 8^)] and we can't fit them all on stage".
    
    	As for Clapton specifically, he sucks anyways, and has to try
    	anything he can to try and get his stuff to sound good.  And
    	he can use the "acoustic" crap as a disguise if he happens to
    	blow it royally.

    That's it, that's the GTI we love bust, bust, bust! My brother-inlaw
    just turned me on to a pretty good cd. A guy by the name of Don Benoit
    real good blues stuff have you heard of him?
    
    Still looking for the cords to Lake of Fire.

    On the subject of who went 'unplugged' first I seem to remember the
    first 'official' unplugged concert (i.e. MTV) was done by Paul McCartney 
    wasn't it?
    
    Richard
    Basingstoke, UK

    > And he can use the "acoustic" crap as a disguise if he happens to blow
    > it royally.
    
    I think the "Unplugged" version of "Layla" constitutes "blowing it
    royally".
    
    The only cover in the last 10 years that elicits a hurl almost as
    fast is the "Baby I Love Your Way/Freebird" abomination done by
    "Boy and Girl".

    
    	Definitely!!
    
    	It doesn't even sound like the same song to me ... how can you
    	take a classic rocker and do that to it?  It should be illegal,
    	in addition to being obviously unethical.
    
    	RE: "Baby I Love Your Way/Freebird"
    
    	Gee Dave, thanks for reminding me of that one ... I had forgotten
    	about it until now.  8^)

    Lenny Kravitz's unplugged "Are You Gonna Go My Way" was right awful,
    too.  Talk about ruining a rocker...  
    
    							Marc

    
    
      Hay! what happened to the cords for Lake of Fire. I knew once you got
      started GTI you'ed blow the s**t out of it.
    
      I know, I know shut the **** up and go listen to Clapton, right GTI.
    
      On the subject of bad unplugged covers ET had, I think it was
      Mallisa Entridge <-sp, doing a bad cover of a Zepplin song. Some
      stuff should be left alone.  Maybe like me trying to pick up
      Lake Of Fire.

    >Hay!
    
    It's just grass, so what about it?
    
    >what happened to the cords for Lake of Fire.
                          ^^^^^
    
    Well, they were discussing unplugged sessions, so I guess that
    means there were no cords.
    
    -b

    I've liked some of the unplugged sessions, but then I'm not that big
    a fan of electric instruments to start with. Two problems with the
    unplugged sessions is (1) the players often don't seem very familiar 
    with acoustic instruments (i.e. their dynamics), and (2) they're
    plugged in anyway. When was the last time you saw them playing
    "Unplugged" into a microphone. They've generally got the built-in
    piezo pickups, and I've yet to hear one that comes out sounding like
    an acoustic guitar after it's in. (I've got one in my mandolin
    bridge, and I've used it about twice.)

    My favorite was CC Deville.  As I recall, he had something that sorta
    looked acoustic-like; of course, it still had humbuckers
    

    
    	Lake of Fire isn't Nirvana's, I think it was the Counting Crows or
    some other `Progressive' band. 
    
    	They whine better.
    
    	Alternative_Scott (bwaaahahaha)
    
    

Actually, I think it is a song by the Meat Puppets that they performed with 
Nirvana at the unplugged thing.

    Gordie, 
    
     When your through with your Hooked on Phonics tape, try a spelling
    one! 
    
     Didn't you buy a Tape player with variable speed? Try using that. It's
    possible that he uses a different tuning for that song. He lowers the
    E string to a D on Heart Shaped Box.

    Ted, OK I mis-spelled one word, cord, should have been chord. Happy!
    
    This is coming from a guy that keeps wiping stuff off his shoulder
    ,like the floor, you stiff. I can't believe that your still with
    Digital or do you forfeit your pay and your cost center let's you
    come in so you have some place to go during the day, you stiff.
    
    Still got those speakers you were trying to dump a while back. You know 
    the ones with the wet ring marks, you stiff.

   < ,like the floor, you stiff. I can't believe that your still with
   < Digital or do you forfeit your pay and your cost center let's you
   < come in so you have some place to go during the day, you stiff.

    haha, your one to talk! How's that broom closet they got you locked
    in! If you tumble any farther down the Job chain you'll have to 
    start paying Digital to let you hang around here.
    
   < Still got those speakers you were trying to dump a while back. You know 
    
     Simpleton's like yourself should learn how to play the guitar before 
     commenting about things you can't comprehend. Go to a Day Care center,
     they'll hold your hand!

    >Gordie, 
    >
    >When your through with your Hooked on Phonics tape, try a spelling
    >one! 
    
    And then borrow it if you can Gordie, as you need to learn how
    to spell "you're." :-)
    
    >Ted, OK I mis-spelled one word, cord, should have been chord. Happy!
    
    Actually, you mispelled two words. "Hay" is dried grass, "hey" is
    what you say to get someone's attention. And once we get you
    past the spelling, we can start working on the punctuation and
    grammar:
    
    >Ted, OK I mis-spelled one word, cord, should have been chord. Happy!
    
    =Ted, OK I mispelled one word. Cord should have been chord. Happy?
    
    (OK, I'm done picking on you both now.) :-) :-)

    Hahahahaha, I was waiting for that! :^)
    
    Touche!
    
    Ted

    
      Hey! got your attention?  Ted is my friend and if I want to mispell
      words then I can besides it gives lonely guys like you something to
      do. 
    
      Hey Ted! I guess that's why your selling all your stuff you finaly 
      took some advice and put the guitar down.  You have to be able to
      understand what your doing on stage not hit it with your face.
    
      Gordie
    
      Thanks for the chords<-(spelling is correct Mr. lonely) info Ted.
      Great to see we can still have a sense of humor.

    HEY!  With friends like you, who needs enema's!
    
    Gordie, I don't believe a music stand is strong enough to use as dinner
    tray in your living room. 
    
    No, I haven't quit playing yet. I only sell to buy more.  Though 
    listening to some of the crap that's called music today sometimes makes 
    me want to.
    
    Seriously though, the best way to learn is with your Tape player going
    over and over and over till you want to shoot yourself. Then I'll lend
    you my shotgun! ;^)  After a while you start to hear a lot of things
    you couldn't before, meaning better!
    
    Ted

    
      Hope everyone is still :). I still have a special place in my heart
      for all of you.
    
    
      Your right Ted the tape player has been a big help. I've picked up
      alot from it.  The ear is dead though the fat build up around the
      neck.  Can't hear, can't spell, can't write, can't play guitar, can't
      get a tray big enough for my food, might as well sell everything and
      move in with you.
