Foo Fighters just released another surprise EP: 01999925 has five songs, including a Pink Floyd cover, live performances and b-sides, from their There Is Nothing Left to Lose era in 1999. It’s the eighth EP the band has released in 2019.
The EP opens with a cover of The Obsessed’s “Iron and Stone.” Frontman Dave Grohl is a big Obsessed fan; he collaborated with Obsessed frontman Wino on his Probot project in 2004.
Their cover of Pink Floyd’s “Have a Cigar” is also on the EP, which is rounded out by an original song “Make a Bet.” All three songs were originally released in 1999 on the “Learn to Fly” single. The EP also has live versions of “Ain’t it the Life” and “Floaty.”
Brian has been working in pop culture and media for about three decades: he’s worked at MTV, VH1, SiriusXM, CBS and Loudwire.
