Hey everyone,
I recall some people mentioning that they were having a tough time getting good-sound chord voicings for acoustic and wanting to hear an acoustic version of this tune a while ago and I thought it would be cool to give one a shot. I altered some of the chords on the verse to give it a slightly different flavour and improvised on the main verse melody during the solo. Anyways, I have it posted on my myspace currently (for lack of a better place):

Let me know what you think.
Thaks and all the best,

Nice dude, I dig it.
This is very good. Nice voice!
I like it.
Cool.
It really makes me want to hear live or acoustic versions of all the songs.
Thanks.
And I totally agree...I'm really intrigued as to how Heartache vs. Heartbreak will sound live, seeing as the foundation of the arrangement is electronic.
Sounds great, love your myspace picture too :D
haha thanks friend! that picture was from my band's promo shoot.
Hey man, this is great. I really like the changes you made. After hearing the "acousticish" mix of the original that hipsun posted, I thought it didn't quite fit exactly. Certain parts. But yours fixes that. Love it.
thanks i appreciate it!
Is that you doing Star's part? Haha, nice falsetto's
haha thanks...ya i layered the vocals myself. i managed to pull off a lot of the high G's on the pre-chorus pretty softly and on key without having to break into falsetto with the higher octave part, but falsettos were a must on those choruses.
I think that cover would'a been a bit better if the guitar was recorded on a separate track, and boosted a bit, also I think your voice is too tense/constrained, I suppose. You should sing with some more passion, loosen it up try to give it some more vibrato. Just some suggestions. I know you'll probably reply with something like "I did this in 5 minutes real quick just to show people what it sounded it like" I know, just givin some critique-ish-ness.
Great Cover.
My only suggestion: try and hide your Canadian accent.
hahaha...i didn't know i have one. can you actually tell that i'm canadian, or was that just a joke?
well i can tell, but i'm usually pretty good with regional accents.
Pretty neat.
Wait, Canadians have accents? Sweet.
