(If you have links, even better) |

Also for fun STP doing "Pour Some Sugar On Me" as an acoustic is pretty cool.
And the Acoustic version of "In Thee" by Blue Oyster Cult. |

Not off topic, but 'reverse' topic maybe? - Best rock version of an acoustic song?
'Call Me the Breeze'. |

| George Harrison's acoustic demo versions (there are two) of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". As demos, they were obviously recorded before the Beatles' released version with EC (at least one of the two demos was recorded on George's birthday) but they were first heard by the public years later. One version is on one of the Beatles Anthology sets and another is a well-circulated boot. The last verse (not on the Beatles' released version) is the best of the three in the song IMO.
The Anthology version, dressed up with strings for "Love" . I prefer the unmolested version (but "Love" is a great show you must see). |

YouTube must be on a roll. They also yanked Podline6's account. He is now on there as Podline66.
A few weeks ago, I heard Colin Hay doing a cool acoustic version of "Who Can it Be Now?". I don't have a clip of it right now, though.

Location: Bluffton, SC | Michelle - Colin Hay put out a cd not too long ago - Man At Work - that was largely an acoustic compilation but it's great. I think "Who Can It Be Now" is on that one. "Overkill" is another great cut (that one was used on an episode of 'Scrubs') |

Colin Hay was actually in my area a few weeks ago. I guess he was touring in support of the CD.
The thing is that I was standing and talking to someone when I said, "Wait a minute. Is that Colin Hay doing 'Who Can it be Now?'"

Why are they yanking? (no smartass remarks, Weaser)
What's specifically being yanked? (no smartass remarks, Weaser)
There's no money being made by the performers on youtube, so I don't get it. |

A stretch but certainly arguable. |

In retrospect NAUDOPRD is an entertainer ($$$) overseas. Maybe that's what nailed him... |
