Foo Fighters play the minor Threat. Dave Grohl and associates have published a cover of “I Don’t Wanna Hear It” after thirty years, one of the songs taken from the repertoire of the American hardcore punk band, active between 1980 and 1983, icon of the Washington scene (the same state that gave birth to the Foo Fighters).

In the wake of the celebrations related to the thirtieth anniversary of the debut with “Foo Fighters”, the first, eponymous album of the group led by the former Nirvana drummer, the Foo Fighters decided to share their reinterpretation of the song of the minor Threat originally recorded for the first time in 1995. The tools were recorded in thirty years ago, but Grohl wanted to reincide the vocal part, at the beginning of this year.

Dave Grohl is a long -standing fan of the minor Threat, a training considered of worship. In 2015 the Foo Fighters frontman also published a letter that he wrote when he was just 14 years old, as a fan, at the frontman of the minor Threat, Ian Mackaye. A few years later, Grohl would have played the battery for the Scream, one of the bands launched by the label of Mackaye himself, the Dychord Records.

With their direct and aggressive sound, but imbued with melodies, the minor Threat – whose inheritance was carried out by the subsequent band founded by Mackaye, the Fugazi – have defined the hardcore style and influenced bands such as Bad Religion and Nirvana themselves.
