Having played in rock bands for years, myself and a couple of friends are putting together an acoustic set but want to stay away from the same songs you hear every acoustic band play. Any ideas for popular songs that might sound good acoustically? What's your favourite acoustic cover? |

This isnt acoustic but it might inspire you, its a live performance of an edm sounding cover of maniac. Shows how far you can go with covers.

"Slayer - Raining Blood
Slipknot - Duality
Marilyn Mansun - Dope Show
Wow, now they would be very interesting in an acoustic set "
Dope show is actually good as an acoustic song and been in a band where we done Reign in Blood acoustic.
