Watch Ryan Adams Cover Foo Fighters’ “Times Like These”
I never thought I’d say this, but I’d be interested in hearing a Ryan Adams album entirely comprising live acoustic Foo Fighters covers. The basis for this assertion is Adams’ rendition of “Times Like These” — a song he’s been covering for years — performed at Sydney Opera House, recorded by YouTube user TheAussiemusicman, and posted by CoS. In tribute to the recently injured Dave Grohl, Adams transforms the late-period Foos hit from a passable slice of sentimental alt-rock sludge into a true, ahem, heartbreaker. Watch below and tell us how you like it.
