@EccentricRichard Because Dave was in the DC hardcore scene before Nirvana in bands such as Mission Impossible, Dain Bramage and the legendary DC band Scream. One of his favorite more metalish bands from DC was The Obsessed. Also one of his friends was in The Obsessed, plus The Obsessed didn't rent back then....THE OWNED.
@Shelter1284 - quite. I was replying to FooFighterDude1, who said "Ehh? The Obsessed can suck on my fat shlong", which, in turn, was a reply to Slayera, who said "The Obsessed rules".
Some of the reasons any band would do a cover, is to either pay their respect to their own idols and/or favourite acts or to chill a bit during the recording of an album by playing around with something they aren't trying to squeeze out of their own brain at the moment (not their own material). All bands do covers. It's part of music. As music brings people together to form bands, those bands then bring more people to the music that gave them

@foofighterdude1 Oooo look at the uninformed angry person. I'll explain it to you too:

@foofighterdude1 The Obsessed wrote this song. And Scott 'Wino" Weinrich is on Dave's side project "Probot". Featured in a couple of songs. Dave grew up listening to music like The Obsessed. Don't hate what you don't know.
@foofighterdude1 - what the fuck are you on about? This song is by The Obsessed, a band that's been around since the 1970s and which Dave Grohl idolises.
Yeah this should have been on the Probot album, it wouldn't have fit with the rest of TINLTL. There are some absolute epics on the Probot album I'm glad I bought it.
fuck this song rocks!!!

Funny question, but what the heck-
Some of the reasons any band would do a cover, is to either pay their respect to their own idols and/or favourite acts or to chill a bit during the recording of an album by playing around with something they aren't trying to squeeze out of their own brain at the moment (not their own material).

It's a Learn to Fly B-side, a cover of a song by Wino (who later collaborated with Grohl on the Probot project).
