Foo Fighters + Anthrax?

Posted in Records on April 17, 2024

A one-off single from a band calling itself GBI will release a 7" single, The Regulator, on April 20 for Record Store Day (Megaforce Records). The GBI of the band stands for Dave Grohl, Charlie Benante, and Scott Ian, who are covering Bad Brains on a limited release to raise funds towards health care for Paul D. Hudson, aka H.R., of Bad Brains.

Pre-release press explains:

Anthrax had been recording the last batch of new songs for their next album at Grohl’s 606 Studios, and Foo Fighters were camped there as well in rehearsals. Grohl had stopped by Anthrax's studio to say hi and check things out, and at one point, Ian texted Grohl and suggested the idea of all of them getting together to record ”The Regulator." Said Ian, “Charlie and I asked Dave if he’d play drums and sing as well, and he was in. Charlie played bass, and I was on guitar. We ripped the song live in two takes.” 

Benante created the art for the single.
