Foo Fighters Drop Blazing 80-Second Minor Threat Cover Paying Tribute to Dave Grohl’s Hardcore Roots
Foo Fighters drop a surprise 80-second cover of Minor Threat's 1981 classic 'I Don't Wanna Hear It,' paying tribute to Dave Grohl's hardcore roots.
That explains why the group dropped a surprise cover of Minor Threat’s early 1981 hardcore classic “I Don’t Wanna Hear It” on Monday (June 30) as part of a three-decade celebration they’re calling #FF30. The accompanying video for the blitzing punk tune — which features an instrumental track recorded in 1995 and vocals laid down this year — is a lightning fast montage of candid, chummy images from throughout the band’s career, including a healthy dose of sweet snaps with beloved late drummer Taylor Hawkins. The cover is part of an expansive 30th anniversary celebration that has included a barrage of Instagram posts of classic music videos, promo shots and live performance clips from the group’s career, as well as a deep-dive Substack features notes, photos and ephemera tied to the band’s 11 studio albums.
