    Steven Zeitchik, writing for the LA Times:


    “Unplugged,” which could be on the air in coming months, will stoke the interest of those who came of age with artists such as Nirvana, Eric Clapton and Arrested Development breaking down their music to its acoustic basics, often with some added atmosphere.

    “It won’t be carpets and candles,” Erik Flannigan, executive vice president of music and multiplatform strategy, said of the new show. “And it won’t be rock legends playing their catalog. “What we want to do,” he said, “is take the attributes that made ‘Unplugged’ such a success for so many years and reimagine them for 2016.”

    I'll be with you the whole way.

    I love the idea. I hope we will get some bands from "our scene" on it!
    Even a new Yellowcard acoustic album could be great.

    It's funny that The National was one of the first artists that came to my mind as well.

    Other wants: The 1975, CHVRCHES, TWY, ADTR

    You know, I always wanted to see blink-182 play this event.

    Shame we'll never get to see a Tom, Mark, and Travis show at 'MTV Unplugged' =/

    Slightly different Unplugged is better than no Unplugged. Ready to give this a shot.

    MTV have had a busy few days. First they bring back Cribs...then they bring back Unplugged. I'm assuming they're going to bring back Carson Daly tomorrow?

    Unplugged is great news. I still listen to the Nirvana, Clapton + Dashboard albums pretty often.

    I liked the candles and rugs...and what's wrong with having rock legends play their catalog?

    I legitimately lol'd.

    Too bad he didn't add: "We don't plan on using acoustic guitars or rocking chairs either"

    I don't even know what this will be.

    I would be so down for some The Weekend Unplugged. That would be sick.
