@Goabnb94

Having acoustic elements or parts doesn't make it an acoustic song. Nothing Else Matters, Fade to Black, Bleeding Me and Voice of the Soul are all great songs that use acoustic guitars, but they also have electric parts. An acoustic instrument audibly creates is own sound waves. I would grant the use of a mic-ed acoustic, or an acoustic electric in a concert just so everybody can hear it, but ultimately its the guitar producing the sound. When you have an electric guitar, you are relying on a signal chain from pick ups, through effects pedals, into an amplify and out through speakers. Technically that is not acoustic but its not being made by the instrument physically. A piano hits strings to make them vibrate, and we hear those vibrations, that the sound. A keyboard registers a key being played, and plays what sound it thinks it should be electronically by sending it to a speaker. While entirely possible to play it like a piano (assuming it can replicate a piano perfectly), its also possible to make it sound like anything, a synth for instance. That is not acoustic. An acoustic song relies solely on acoustic instruments whose sound most be produced by the instrument and not modulating electric signals to a speaker. I'd be hesitant to consider an "unplugged" version of a song as acoustic, as that is just an acoustic version or performance of an otherwise non-acoustic track, whereas an acoustic song is primarily written and always played that way.

Blind Guardian is easily one of my favorite metal bands.
We need more Blind Guardian on lists like these.
Blind Guardian and Pantera being on the same video makes this the best video.
If i could share a meeting with Mozart, and present to him a piece of our time, i would gladly hand Voice of the Soul to him. I think Mozart would have been very happy
voice of a soul !!!!!
I was blown away by No. 4 and No. 3 especially since I hadn't heard them before. No. 4 was great since it seemed the entire crowd was singing which would be every musician's dream.

Krisiun Diableros an underrated accoustic instrumental. From the album Ageless Venomous comes this blistering death metal instrumental that will make fingers bleed. A deserving add to this list.
Voice of the soul is easily at least top 3
Journeyman and Fade to Black are my favorites here. Especially Fade to Black. Nothing quite matches the unique connection Metallica make to the human soul in their deeper songs, if you ask me :)
Dude nothing has more soul than a power ballad. Theyre the best acoustic songs life has to offer
