Customer Reviews of Staind - MTV Unplugged

Tortured Acoustics
This DVD brings a whole new essence to the catharsis that is Staind's music. Aaron and the boys in Staind show that they can pull off some of there of their heaviest tunes in great acoustic fashion. I was a bit weary of buying this as some the Unplugged sessions i have seen sucked. However, this set truly stands out in a crowd. The raw emotion that comes through the songs is enhanced when done acoustically, and presents even more of a cathartic feeling. Aaron pours his heart and soul into every note and word of his performance. As stated by other reviewers, and on the DVD itself, this set is the full 51-minute set with two songs that were not included when the show aired on MTV ("Pressure" and "Suffer"). This album is worthy to any Staind fans' library and serves as an excellent addition to great Unplugged session such as the ones done by Nirvana and Alice In Chains. Truly worth every dollar you have to spend.

Absolutely Amazing
This is absolutely the best Unplugged performance I have ever seen. I am a relatively new Staind fan (having only ever bought their most recent CD), but I was so struck by their lyrics and music that when I saw the Unplugged DVD on the shelf, I decided to take the leap. Boy am I glad I did !! The visuals are striking, the sound is incredible, and the performance itself, especially by the lead singer, is something that I can easily watch over and over (I think I watched it 5 times the first week I had it !). Staind was already on its way to rivalling Pearl Jam as my favorite band, and this DVD has brought them even closer. The extras that are included, such as the videos and optional on-screen lyrics, are a nice touch, but the live, acoustic performance of the band was well worth the price alone. This one goes on my top shelf !!

Just Raw, powerful emotion that will grip you
I missed the first airing of the show (for some reason), but I had it taped. I was so psyched about it, I got up an hour early before school and watched it. I was in total awe. Aaron's voice sound so beautiful and raw it made me want to break down. The guitar work was just incredible, and Old Skool can tear it up on the bass. But The DVD is a whole other experience. When watching in 5.1, it sounds like your sitting in the front row. The picture quality is amazing, and I aboslutely love the stylings on the acoustics. What really got me was when I first heard "Suffer" acoustically. When I first heard this song, I thought it was great, but then I heard acoustically, and I almost cried. Aaron puts his heart and soul into every single word sung, and I feel that Staind is a very underrated Band. Everyone complains that they sound like AIC, but too bad, so does every band nowadays, and a lot of the bands of today just suck. But Staind can pull that sound off. And they do it amazingly.

FYI: The tuning Mike uses isn't Drop D, it's Drop Ab, he uses a baritone guitar.
