G.B.I. (Grohl, Benante, Ian) The Regulator
Anthrax were recording our new album at 606 and the Foos were
there rehearsing at the same time. Dave had popped into the studio to
hang and listen to what we were doing and we’d gone over to hear the
Foo’s rehearse. I texted Dave the next morning and said: "Hey! Good to
see ya the other day. Are you rehearsing today? I’ll be there doing
guitars. Wanna record a Minor Threat song? Bad Brains?” He replied
immediately with the Spotify link for The Regulator. I said I’d be there
at 12:30pm and he said, “See you at 1.” It was that simple.
We
recorded at 606. Charlie and I asked Dave if he’d play drums and sing as
well, he was in. Charlie plays bass and I’m on guitar. GBI.
The
spark to do this was to raise money for HR’s healthcare. All the
proceeds will be donated to him for that. And what better day to do it
than Record Store Day? It helps Indie stores as well, win/win.
We
ripped Regulator live in two takes, the way it should be! It was so much
fun to get to play with Dave on drums and to hear his voice with my
guitar! We’re all such huge Bad Brains fans and have asked WWBBD? (What
would Bad Brains do?) many times.
