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’, as reported by independent.co.uk. Check out the video below:
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.
Westboro Baptist Church responded with their own parody Rickrolling video, but with just three retweets and one favourite on Twitter it has yet to have the same reach as the Foo Fighters’ effort.
