Foo Fighters have a lot of new music on the way, but that’s not stopping them from performing covers of their favorite rock classics on the tour. They surprised the audience at the Sonic Temple festival with the epic new rendition of Nine Inch Nails’ “March of the Pigs”.
Foo Fighters went back on the road and performed their first concert of 2023 last week, after taking a break from touring in the wake of Taylor Hawkins’ tragic death last year. Josh Freese joined them as a new touring drummer and they welcomed him to the pack by performing a medley of songs from bands Freese has played with over the years.
During a recent gig at the Sonic Temple festival, Foo Fighters put their own twist on Nine Inch Nails’ “March of the Pigs”. This song was originally released as the lead single from the band’s second studio album The Downward Spiral in 1994.
Josh Freese didn’t join Foo Fighters on drums for every song during their recent gigs. Taylor Hawkins’ son Shane honored his father’s legacy by hitting the stage with his band and delivering an emotional rendition of “I’ll Stick Around” on drums in Boston. He previously played the band’s smash hit “My Hero” during the Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert at Wembley Stadium last fall.
