NO, OMFG I knew there was gonna be people going crazy over this, Why? Blacekend is just a song you DON'T F with

[@MetaITurtle]

People want an acoustic version of songs so when they go camping they can sing those versions with their acoustic guitars. Yall gotta try it. Music sounds amazing in nature

[@mh-yw6qw]

they have a 90s unplugged

[@KissMyFatAxe]

They've got a to do an unplugged set now. They can't not do it now we've all witnessed this beauty of a song.

they have done. look up the "helping hands" concerts.

​@@everythingthatiswrongwithe8752 no, its cool melodic solo in Phrygian

[@humanbeing9340]

Just shows how much James need to embrace different versions of himself to shine. If he remains stuck in one ideal or image, he loses himself. He has such a natural softness and feel for all that pure masculine energy he emits, and this is what makes it so explosively powerful.

[@jacksonroper22]

He really shines on the new album with some of the new vocal melodies/cadences/deliveries he recorded. The chorus of Sleepwalk really stands out to me

[@MmentoMori]

Imagine if the fans had embraced Load. They would've had one of the greatest evolutions in any band's history.

[@TheJuseman]

Well said, definitely love the softer side as well. That version of All Within My Hands on S&M2 is incredible.

[@nicholasdesnoyer8505]

I really love the acoustic version. I think they should explore acoustic versions of some of their other songs..maybe do an album of acoustic hits

[@u.s.m.c.fewproudthemarines2987]

[@stevennieto9898]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJerqH6VbpZqm8k Found it 😂

[@owenw2534]

I read an article from Loudwire that talked about how that was the plan when this version of Blackened came out. The group decided to pivot to doing a full-length album full of new material and it was apparently Rob's idea to get started on a new album!

[@pippimaxim]

An acoustic "Roam" That i COULD get behind!!!

[@jacobibanez7554]

Was actually thinking the same. Would love to hear their oldies done acoustically

[@xaviercook3788]

i love the original but this is still amazing to watch and listen to. and the concept of them turning songs they’ve made to more acoustic based is such a cool concept

[@fortyyearfitness]

Yes, it’s so cool mtv should do a show where bands do their songs acoustically… they could call it unplugged….

[@AZ-kr6ff]

@@fortyyearfitness Nah... eventually bands would probably start using amps and stuff

[@HawkEye40]

I love James' baritone voice. I mean, he has a super beautiful tone when he sings low notes 😍 BTW, this version remembers me the great post Grunge band Days of the new.

[@spuddoright1970]

Funny you mention that. I saw Metallica back in the 90s and Days of the New was one of the openers.

[@mainline2008]

Love this version. Wish they would do a whole acoustic album. Would be killer to hear some older tunes re-done along with some new material.
