Dave Grohl Recorded the Instrumental Track to “I Don't Wanna Hear It” in 1995, and complete vocals This Year
Just After the 30th Anniversary of the Band's 1995 Self-Titled Debut Album, Foo Fighters Have Unveiled a Fierce Cover of Minor Threat's Hardcore Classic “I Don't Wanna Hear It”-With Vocals Recorded This Year Over An Instrumental Track That Dates to '95. The Release appears to be part of a large celebration of the debut, with the band promoting anniversary content under the hashtag #ff30 and revisiting their career history on a substack.
The Cover Reflects Grohl's Deep Connection to Washington DC's Hardcore Punk Scene. Before Nirvana, Grohl Played Drums for Scream, A Hardcore Band Signed to Dychord Records, Founded by Minor Threat's Ian Mackaye. Grohl Penned a Fan Letter to Mackaye When he was 14 years old, and the Two Were recently Spotted Together At A Devost Concert.
The Original Song First Appered on minor Threat's 19821 Debut Self-Titled Ep. It's Unclear Wheer Grohl Recorded the Instrumental Tracks AS A One-Man Band, à la Foo Fighters' Debut, or Wheer it was one of the first recordings to feature the original full-bannd lineup.
