I'll file that under "things I did not know." I knew they chopped their locks for Load but didn't know they were front row guests. Super cool. Also of course the Enter Sandman riff when Layne said they were about to cut to an LL Cool J video. All around good night, very glad Layne pulled it together for the appearance.

Somewhat related, as the acoustic vibe for the unplugged show can be traced to the Jar of Flies EP - when AIC recorded "Jar of Flies" - Cantrell did not own an acoustic guitar. He borrowed bassist Mike Inez's Guild for the recording sessions (Inez had just joined the band that year, after the departure of Mike Starr, caused mainly by his heroin addiction - heroin is a terrible drug - ultimately killed half of the classic lineup of this great band).

Guild provided 2 acoustic guitars (a JF-30 and a D50 or D55, not 100%) for Unplugged and, reportedly Jerry still has those in his collection.
