  • The Laptop Sessions: “Times Like These” (Foo Fighters Acoustic Rock Cover Song)

    Thursday, April 17th, 2008

    By Jeff Copperthite:

    Welcome to your Thumpin’ Thursday edition of The Laptop Sessions. Today I bring you a song by request. It’s one of the Foo Fighters most well known songs, and most agree that the acoustic version of this song is better than the original, full-band version.

    Well, the song is “Times Like These”, of which there is a terrific video of Dave Grohl playing the song on the acoustic, with piano and string accompaniment on Youtube.

    I had just purchased new guitar strings and this is the 2nd video I recorded with them. I had recorded this song in the same session as my previous video, but the new strings make this song sound a heck of a lot better, so I did it again.

    The song is off their great album “One By One”. I’ve always been a Foo Fighters fan since their original self-titled release.

    I hope this translates well to the acoustic version, although you may notice that I do not do the “screaming” chorus, because my voice…well, it just isn’t suited for screaming.

    I hope you enjoy today’s edition, and keep checking http://www.laptopsessions.com for more from FMP, and for pictures/video from our live performances!
