Overview

  • Foo Fighters have unveiled a cover of Minor Threat’s “I Don’t Wanna Hear It” by layering new 2025 vocals from Dave Grohl over a 1995 instrumental as part of their #FF30 anniversary campaign.
  • The release highlights Grohl’s ties to Washington, D.C.’s hardcore scene and recalls his teenage fan letter to Ian MacKaye and their recent public appearance together.
  • The band announced the firing of drummer Josh Freese, who had filled in since Taylor Hawkins’s death, and they are searching for a permanent replacement.
  • Foo Fighters have scheduled fall concerts across Indonesia, Singapore, Japan and Mexico, marking their first overseas tour dates since 2023.
  • It remains unconfirmed whether the 1995 instrumental track was recorded solely by Grohl or involved the full original Foo Fighters lineup.
