FF Covers
Adding this on its own page because no one saw my post and it’s awesome
In completing the post for day 2 of the FF challenge, I found this list of covers:
http://www.coversproject.com/artist/foo%20fighters/
So of course I decided to look all of them up on youtube. (Yes I have a paper due at midnight. Yes I’m fantastic at procrastinating.)
I linked beneath each video incase this doesn’t work properly
I hadn’t heard all of these before, but let me say now: they are fantastic (and made this part of the challenge fucking hard).

Some noteworthy covers were not on this list:

All that said,
This is my favorite (from the latest tour):
But actually, that cover of Keep the Car Running is fucking fantastic.”
I’m fairly certain there are more, but this took up a good chunk of time, so I guess I’ll go write my paper now.
Enjoy wasting a few hours on these :)
