Dave Grohlwho was part of Nirvana and currently leads Foo Fightersamong others, has released a version of “The Regulator” by Bad Brains with Scott Ian and Charlie Benante of Anthrax.
The release had already been previously announced under the project pseudonym of the three artists, GBI (which responds to the initials of the first surname of each artist), and has occurred within the framework of the premieres of the Record Store Day on a seven-inch disk. This version reinterprets the iconic hardcore band's 1982 classic Bad Brains. In addition, the cover design has been done by the same Benante.
Although the song was released last Saturday, the next day the musicians shared the video that accompanies their version of “The Regulator”, which shows us Dave Grohl singing and playing drums on the song with the two members of Anthrax.
According to RevolverMagthe song was recorded in the Studio 606 of the same Grohl. Over there, Anthrax They were working on their next album while Foo Fighters they rehearsed.
