Dave Grohl and Foo Fighters 'Rickroll' Westboro Baptist Church in parody picket






Foo Fighters responded to a Westboro Baptist Church picket outside their Kansas City concert with the power of music – and a little bit of Rickrolling.

The band danced on the back of a truck to Westboro picketers holding homophobic slogans, blasting Rick Astley’s 1987 single “Never Gonna Give You Up” in their own take on trolling.

The Foos held signs saying “Keep it Clean” and “You Got Rick Roll’d Again”, while Dave Grohl clapped enthusiastically and blew kisses to the Westboro picketers.

Rickrolling refers to the 2007 internet meme that fooled people into watching Astley’s music video when they thought they were clicking through to something else.
