This had to happen eventually. Ryan Adams has been doing a whole lot of acoustic metal covers lately, and Danzig’s crossover roar “Mother” seems to be just about every indie rock type’s favorite metal jam. And at a few recent European shows, Adams has been playing a delicate, haunted solo-acoustic version of the song. Listen to a fan-made recording of it, taped at a Paris show earlier this month, below.

So where would you rank that one? I’d put it above the Wye Oak “Mother” cover but below EMA’s version of “Soul On Fire.”
