This previous February, we reported on G.B.I., the impromptu supergroup involving Foo Fighters‘ Dave Grohl and Anthrax‘s Scott Ian and Charlie Benante. The trio recorded two Unhealthy Brains tracks – from their 1982 landmark album The Regulator – throughout Anthrax‘s recording classes, and the end result was launched this previous Saturday as an RSD-exclusive etched 7-inch.
Now we are able to additionally benefit from the official music video for “The Regulator”, which accommodates footage of the particular recording of the track.
The story behind this surprising union is as punk rock because it will get, in response to Scott Ian: “Anthrax‘s had been recording our new album at 606 and the Foo‘s had been there rehearsing on the similar time. Dave had popped into the studio to hold and take heed to what we had been doing and we would gone over to listen to the Foo‘s rehearse.””
“I texted Dave the subsequent morning and mentioned: “Hey! Good to see ya the opposite day. Are you rehearsing right this moment? I will be there doing guitars. Wanna document a Minor Menace track? Unhealthy Brains?” He replied instantly with the Spotify hyperlink for The Regulator. I mentioned I might be there at 12:30 PM and he mentioned, “See you at 1.” It was that easy.”
“We recorded at 606. Charlie and I requested Dave if he’d play drums and sing as nicely, he was in. Charlie performs bass and I am on guitar. Charlie did the badass artwork for the duvet. The spark to do that was to lift cash for HR’s healthcare. All of the proceeds might be donated to him for that. And what higher day to do it than File Retailer Day? It helps Indie shops as nicely, win/win.” Ian added.
Fueled by their shared admiration for Unhealthy Brains, the trio wasted no time channeling their inside H.R.: “We ripped Regulator reside in 2 takes, the best way it needs to be! It was a lot enjoyable to get to play with Dave on drums and to listen to his voice with my guitar! We’re all such enormous Unhealthy Brains followers and have requested WWBBD? (What would Unhealthy Minds do?) many occasions. Hope you get a duplicate!” he completed.
