I mean, we're never going to hear acoustic Metallica (with the exception of "Tuesday's Gone" from Garage Inc., and they had so many other musicians with them that it doesn't really count anyway), but IMO Lars and Co. are some of the most talented musicians in the world. And trust me, their live show is absolutely AWE-INSPIRING. That said, I do like your choices. ----- Original Message ----- From: "King_Dovregubben" To: Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2001 11:03 PM Subject: Re: NCR:Re: Upcoming Staind Appearances > To me, the best way to tell whether a band has talent or not is to have > them perform live acoustic in front of an audience.
