Foo Fighters have shared a cover of “I Don’t Wanna Hear It,” a song from Minor Threat’s first 7″ release. According to the YouTube description, Foo Fighters recorded the instrumentals in 1995, and Dave Grohl finished his vocals in 2025. Listen to the cover below.
Grohl is a longtime fan and admirer of Ian MacKaye and his bands Minor Threat and Fugazi. As a teenager, he famously wrote MacKaye a letter, and, in his late twenties, he cited Minor Threat as one of his five favorite hardcore bands. “They sort of made hardcore what it is, with Ian’s vocals and the whole straight-edge ‘no drink-no drugs’ thing,’” he told Melody Maker. They started a new era. Although they were kind of minimalist about it, they were really talented musicians and they rocked.”
Foo Fighters have been relatively quiet since releasing But Here We Are, their first album after the death of drummer Taylor Hawkins, in 2023. They’ll return to the stage in October, but it will be without Josh Freese, who briefly took over for Hawkins on drums.
