Foo Fighters Release Surprise Minor Threat Cover for 30th Anniversary

News summary

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of their debut album, Foo Fighters have released a surprise cover of Minor Threat's 1981 hardcore punk song "I Don't Wanna Hear It." The instrumental track was recorded in 1995, around the time of their debut, with Dave Grohl adding vocals in 2025, highlighting his long-standing punk roots and connection to the Washington, D.C. hardcore scene. The cover's release is accompanied by a montage video featuring candid photos from the band's career, including moments with late drummer Taylor Hawkins. Grohl's history with punk includes playing drums for the D.C. band Scream and a childhood admiration for Minor Threat's Ian MacKaye, founder of Dischord Records. While Foo Fighters have recently undergone lineup changes, including the firing of drummer Josh Freese, they have live shows scheduled for later in 2025. Fans have warmly received the cover, appreciating the nod to punk legends and Foo Fighters' deep musical heritage.
