Foo Fighters unexpectedly release cover song recorded over 30 years
Foo Fighters marked their 30th anniversary with the release of a cover of Minor Threat’s “I Don’t Wanna Hear It,” a track recorded over three decades. The instrumental part dates back to 1995, while the vocals were added in 2025, showcasing the band’s evolution over the years.
After frontman Dave Grohl’s private life made headlines with the news of a new baby outside his marriage in September, the band made the decision to cancel their 2025 tour plans, opting for a period of quiet reflection. Despite this, Grohl has been actively engaged in various projects throughout the year. From cooking for individuals affected by the Los Angeles wildfires to reuniting Nirvana with Post Malone for a special SNL concert, collaborating with Jack Black on a track for A Minecraft Movie, and surprising audiences at Coachella and a school fundraiser in Los Angeles, Grohl has been keeping busy with diverse musical endeavors.
While the band has largely stepped back from the spotlight, they are gearing up for two upcoming shows in late 2025. Scheduled to perform at the Singapore Grand Prix on October 4 and the Corona Capital Festival in Mexico City on November 14, these will be their first live performances since their last show in August 2024 at Seattle’s T-Mobile Park. These concerts mark a significant moment for the band as they navigate the aftermath of drummer Josh Freese’s departure, who filled in following the tragic death of Taylor Hawkins in 2022. Currently, the band has yet to reveal their new drummer.
As fans eagerly anticipate their return to the stage, Foo Fighters continue to demonstrate their enduring presence in the music industry, showcasing their versatility and unwavering dedication to their craft. The reinterpretation of “I Don’t Wanna Hear It” serves as a testament to their commitment to their art, blending elements of their past with their present creative vision. Listen to this captivating cover and stay tuned for more updates from the Foo Fighters as they embark on this new chapter in their storied career.
