In celebration of the upcoming 30th anniversary of their self-titled debut album, Foo Fighters have released a cover of Minor Threat's classic song 'I Don't Wanna Hear It', recorded with vocals completed in 2025 over an instrumental track from 1995.

This release is part of a broader celebration marked by the hashtag #FF30, which includes a Substack account where the band shares rare photos and insights from their career.

The original song, which first appeared on Minor Threat's self-titled EP in 1981, showcases the band's minimalist yet impactful style and has influenced countless musicians, including Foo Fighters' frontman Dave Grohl.

Grohl, who began his music career in the D.C. punk scene and has cited Minor Threat as a major influence, has expressed his admiration for the band, even writing a fan letter to their leader, Ian MacKaye.

The cover is described as a faithful rendition, retaining the hardcore intensity of the original while showcasing Foo Fighters' respect for their punk rock roots.

Grohl delivers powerful lyrics that express frustration and disillusionment, reminiscent of the original's emotional intensity.

This release comes amidst significant changes for the band, including the recent departure of drummer Josh Freese, who had joined after the passing of Taylor Hawkins.

Foo Fighters are set to return to live performances in October 2025, with upcoming shows in Indonesia, Singapore, and Japan, although no replacement drummer has been announced yet.

The band has maintained a low profile since Grohl's personal revelations in 2024, but signs indicate they are preparing for a comeback.

Accompanying the cover is a montage video featuring a slideshow of Foo Fighters photos from their 30-year career, available on YouTube.

As they reflect on their history, Foo Fighters are also hinting at a potential deluxe reissue of their debut album, further engaging fans with their anniversary celebrations.

Their most recent album, 'But Here We Are', released in 2023, followed significant personal challenges for Grohl, including an infidelity scandal and the firing of drummer Josh Freese.
