[Tuf_Duff In Chains]

I've seen so many bad ones on YouTube But its funny there are so many. The fanbase for this band is Unbelievable

[Silvergun Supermen]

I'd like to throw our Toronto based tribute band Silvergun Supermen in the running... Here are some videos from our last show in Collingwood, ON where we covered both audibly and visibly the '93 MTV Unplugged show. Let me know what you think?

Man....when you said you were trying to get as close to the Unplugged as you could, I was really wasn't expecting drums in there (during Plush)

Hey man, yeah, we didn’t have a 2^nd guitar player or a 2^nd percussionist to play the show with us like STP did so we had some space to fill. We went for more of blending between our favourite aspects of their electric and acoustic renditions of the songs.

Oh and I forgot to mention in this post that our fill-in bass player was hospitalized the night before the show, the guys helping out in this video offered to fill-in hours before the show started. They had a basic familiarity with the songs and were good enough musicians to pull it off without having a rehearsal with us. Anyways, here are 3 of the other songs we played, they're not from the MTV Setlist(except for Crackerman), but we basically had to play whatever the stand-in bass players knew.

Holy fuck that Crackerman is kick ass. I really love the way you guys played it. I'd buy a studio recording in a heartbeat. You guys rock!


hell all the songs are amazing. I'd love to hear an electric version of these with you guys.

Right on! Thanks JBattista!! We've actually got a few electric STP covers (Vasoline, Crackerman, & Trippin') up on our band's Facebook page under "free MP3s" where you can stream'em. Check 'em out and give our page a "like" if you're down, we try and post up audio and video from our shows as it becomes available... Cheers!
