Korn was always dreadful from day 1, but this managed to make them even worse to my ears.

I feel sorry for Robert Smith and Simon Gallup for being part of this freak show.

Hey come on, that's not so bad.

They took chances, played obscure covers, had an obscure (at least to mainstream audiences) band join them on stage and play even more obscure covers of that bands...

Doing that made their episode an experience, and something unique.

You leave Pearl Jam out of this.

but Pearl Jam's unplugged was so lifeless and dull. They just played medicore versions of their hits that seemed so borrrrrrrrring.

The original has one of my favorite guitar solos of all-time.... here it is just massacred.

And fine, Korn's is not THAT bad, but it is still not THAT good.

I wanna see Tool do an Unplugged show, that would be amazing. I think they could do it very well, and make it interesting. Wouldn't rush it, they would spend a lot of time working out the compositions to give the songs a whole new dimension without losing the heaviness of the original.

But that would never happen.

I actually quite liked that, which is surprising because I'm not a fan at all of unplugged sets, for example no matter how much I liked a band I would probably never buy an unplugged cd of theirs.
