Foo Fighters Cover Nine Inch Nails’ Song “March of the Pigs” at Sonic Temple

On Sunday, Foo Fighters closed out the 2023 Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival in Columbus, Ohio. The set marked the band’s third show with new live drummer Josh Freese.

As a way of introducing Freese to Foo Fighters fans, Dave Grohl dedicated a portion of the set to covering a few songs from Freese’s previous bands, which included a killer rendition of Nine Inch Nails’ “March of the Pigs.”

The “March of the Pigs cover” was part of a medley that included Devo’s “Whip It” and Puddle of Mudd’s “Blurry.” Prior to joining Foo Fighters, Freese drummed for NIN from 2005 to 2008, and was a contributing drummer on Puddle of Mudd’s 2001 album Come Clean. He has also been Devo’s live drummer since 1996.
